105379 - fix up resize behaviour of testevents plugin

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[James Henstridge]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011012
BuildID:    

The testevents plugin had a few build issues under linux, and didn't resize
correctly.  The GtkMozBox for the plugin would only grow larger, so the end of
the entry would go off the end of the window when making the window smaller.

The fix is to call gdk_window_resize() on the MozBox's GdkWindow in response to
the SetWindow() call.  This lets GTK's geometry management handle sizing of the
children.

Also included is an example XUL file embedding the plugin.  Currently, the
plugin is ignoring the flex attribute, so it doesn't resize vertically with the
window.  If the height="100%" attribute is added to the <html:embed> element,
then the plugin gets too much vertical space and the rest of the elements fall
off the bottom of the window.

patch to follow.

xpcom has been deprecated, so this issue is now invalid

Can you clarify what you mean by "xpcom has been deprecate"? XPCOM is 
deprecated period (!) or talking to plugins via XPCOM has been deprecated or 
talking to plugins on Linux/GTK via XPCOM has been deprecated.

Thanks.

The "New Plugin API" using XPCOM has been deprecated. Do not use it. Instead,
use the old 4.x NPAPI with upgrades to support XPConnect scripting as described
here:
