1038635 - zoom doesn't work in the email composer

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect)

Description

[Mihai Sucan [:msucan]]

Starting with Thunderbird 30 (IIRc) zoom fails to work in the email composition window. This is making it hard for me to write emails.

I would really appreciate a fix.

Confirming as a bug in TB31 beta 20140704014635

STR

1 compose (HTML) msg, type "Hello world"
2a Press Ctrl++ or Ctrl+- or Ctrl+0
2b Alternatively, use menu: View > Zoom > Zoom in/out/reset

Actual result

2a) and 2b) nothing (zoom does not change)

Expected result

zoom should change accordingly

Comment 2

[Thomas D. (:thomas8)]

Having no composition zoom at all is a major accessability bug which should block release of TB31.

Could it be the landing of bug 691614 ?

This was fixed for SeaMonkey in bug 965057 with changeset http://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/rev/efa3650fd3b7

I had to add Zoom support to composer to test this out ;-)

Is that another patch somewhere (in bug 233513) ? ;-)

Approval Request Comment
[Feature/regressing bug #]: 691614
[User impact if declined]: can't zoom in thunderbird compose window. The same goes for any <editor> element where zooming is used. Our next general release is Thunderbird 38 so waiting until then would leave compose zooming broken for a long time, causing serious problems for people with disabilities. Therefore it is needed for esr31.
[Describe test coverage new/current, TBPL]: tested on trunk
[Risks and why]: low risk, it's just adding missing attributes that were added in bug 691614 
[String/UUID change made/needed]: none

Is it possible to test that on Firefox?

Comment 16

[Magnus Melin [:mkmelin]]

I don't think it's easily testable in firefox, that's probably why it went unnoticed for quote some time.

Comment 17

[(PTO June 19-July 7) Ryan VanderMeulen]

Changing this to a core component since the fix wasn't specific to c-c (and it makes uplift tracking a lot easier).

This landed on trunk when it was still 33, so not sure why this is being marked as needing landing on Aurora...

So... ESR users are stuck for a full year with a broken ZOOM in compose...?

That really sucks...

Comment 24

[Charles]

Scratch  that... no more ESR, but Thunderbird won't be updated until the next Firefox ESR relase for a year, so basically the same thing...

:(

Comment 25

[Magnus Melin [:mkmelin]]

No, this got backported to the esr branch, so the next security update will fix it, due in what, 4 weeks.

[Charles]

<whew>


Thanks... I was envisioning having to downgrade everyone back to 24.7 and stay there until the next release.

I really like most everything else in the new 31, so this is a relief...

Thanks!
