103425 - line numbering in venkman stops at 99

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Other Applications Graveyard :: Venkman JS Debugger, defect)

Description

[Jesse Ruderman]

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start up the javascript debugger.
2. Go to http://www.microsoft.com/ in a browser window.
3. Switch back to the debugger.
4. Select one of the .js files in the file/function pane.
5. Scroll around in the code pane.

Result: line numbering goes to 99 and stops.

This appears to happen because the line number column isn't wide enough to 
accommodate three digits, but the field isn't resizable, and the debugger 
should have resized it for me when it noticed the file contained over 99 lines.

if you make the column wider, it'll remember it for the next time.  It should
have a wider default though.

I think it should show '...' instead of nothing when there isn't enough room.  
I didn't think to try resizing the column until a few hours after I first 
encountered this bug.  It looks like Venkman just stops numbering the lines.

Then file a bug against the outliner.

The outliner is a far less than perfect widget for displaying source.  I can
think of a few other area where it falls short, but I'm not going to file a bug
against each of them.  Source code coloring, text selection, horizontal
scrolling, tooltips... the list goes on.  If you want to help the project, file
bugs on problems you find with the basics.  Perhaps, "Source view should use
something besides an outliner", and maybe even make a suggestion as to what else
we might use.  If you can think of something that can quickly display large
source files, and solve the outliner problems, you'll have my undivided attention.

Venkman is still under heavy development.  Please keep in mind that now is not
necessarily the time to pick UI nits.

I checked in a change to venkman.xul that should make the line number column
wider by default, marking fixed.

Reopening this.

On linux 2002011508, if you start with a fresh profile, or kill your localstore,
then on first startup of venkman the column is only wide enough for two digits.
