: In some Firefox/Thunderbird windows that can be resized, the text 
sometimes is wider/longer than the window so we can't read the end of line and/or 
see the button's completely. Does not occur when using Tahoma as System wide 
font.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. In Windows XP, go to Pref Panel Display  -> Appearance

2. In Font size, choose Lucida Grande, click Apply.

3. In Firefox, go to Options -> Main -> Systems Defaults (this part does not 

appear completely, and we only see the top half of the 'Check Now' button, cf 

attached screencap firefox_option1.gif)

4. In Firefox, go to Options -> Content -> Colors (the sentence 'Allow pages...' 

does not appear completely, cf attached screencap firefox_option1.gif)

5. In Thunderbird, french version, go to Outils -> Options -> General. The last box 'Quand un message arrive' does not display completely and we only see the top half of the button (cf attached screencap Tbird_FR_option1.gif)

6. In Thunderbird, french version, go to Outils -> Options -> Affichage -> Formatage. The 'Polices et encodage' box does not display completely and we only see the top half of the button (cf attached screencap Tbird_FR_option2.gif)


Actual Results:  
The messages/buttons do NOT appear completely.

Expected Results:  
The messages/buttons SHOULD appear completely.

this is not a problem when using Tahoma as System wide font.

This bug was reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.3 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME
