103137 - Some dialog titles can not be seen on OS X

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[TucsonTester2]

Build ID: 20011002

If you choose the "Insert Characters and Symbols" window in OS X you will see
that the "Insert Character" title is cut off.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open composer
2.Click on Insert -> Character and Symbols

Actual Results:
You will notice that the "Insert Character" title is cut off.  Most likely this
is because of the buttons in the title bar.  In all other OS's these buttons are
not present.

Expected Results:
The window should show the entire title as it does on every other os.

Confirmed using Fizzilla/2001091313 (0.9.4). The window's narrow width precludes the entire 
"Insert Character" window dialog from being visible. Instead, "Insert Char..." is shown. The 
window should probably be made wider so the whole title is visible.

changed the title to better reflect this bug. Also here are a couple more
windows that have this problem:

Horizontal Line Properties
Anchor Properties

[Mike Pinkerton (not reading bugmail)]

this is a toolkit issue, i would venture. the window/dialog auto-sizing needs to
take the title width into consideration. (how did syd end up with this bug?)

Comment 4

[David Hyatt]

I don't believe the window title bar should participate in the auto-sizing code.
 You'd have to add a lot of logic to do that, and make it support concepts of
minwidth, preferred width, and max width, in order to put caps on obscenely long
titles, etc.  It's especially dicey when you consider the different Window
managers on Linux (that can support wrapping title text vs. cropped text, etc.
etc.).

I'm going to agree with hyatt on this one.  Removing status as blocker of
102998.  Unless someone strenuously objects this can probably be closed as WONTFIX.

So ... wontfix (given no objections since February).
