40067 - Font size change in Prefs doesn't affect location bar until hide/unhide bar

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 26077

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect, P3)

Description

[Warner Young]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.73 [en] (Win98; U)
BuildID:    2000051908

Changing font size in Preferences to something smaller causes location bar font 
to be too large for location bar size.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go into Preferences and change the font size from the default to something 
smaller, like 12 pt, then select OK


Actual Results:  Note font in location bar seems to be a bit too large now, so 
descenders and underscores aren't visible.  Hide the location bar and then 
unhide it, and the font is now the correct size;  that is, descenders and 
underscores are visible.

Expected Results:  Either location bar size should not change after changing 
font size in Prefs, or the location bar font should change at the same time as 
the actual bar.

Upon further investigation, it looks like the font in the location bar is
actually increasing in size, while the location bar itself remains the same size.

Comment 2

[Brendan Donohoe]

One of two things needs to happen here: either the location bar font needs to be
fixed like other UI fonts (e.g. Personal Toolbar) or the location field needs to
grow with font size changes.

Reassigning to XP Toolkit/Widgets.

Perhaps this should be a DUPL of 26077, after all.

[Peter Trudelle]

Doesn't sound like a dup of that bug, but in any case, this isn't ours. changing
component to editor, reassigning.

I hate to keep passing this along -- but, I think maybe Erik should own this one

It's not an exact dup of 26077, after all, but very similar.  I've reduced it to 
the smallest number of steps now.  Simply going into Prefs and selecting OK 
right away doesn't do it.  Go into Prefs, select the Fonts panel, and then 
select OK without making any changes in the fonts, however, WILL do it.  
Moreover, doing it this way causes the location bar font to become quite large, 
and on my system, changes it from a sans serif to a serif font.

On a Linux 0524 build, if you just click the OK in the fonts pref, Mozilla uses
the font.default font in the font.size.variable size. If I use a sans-serif
default but make Courier the default sans-serif font, then Mozilla uses Courier
at my default of 14px.

It's as if it's ignoring chrome/locales/en-US/global/locale/intl.css.

Yeah, this is a dup of 26077 all right.
