Although I am shown a slightly different format, I see that it happens if I zoom in with text-only zoom enabled in View → Zoom.

Hey Achwaq, are you able to reproduce this with add-ons disabled[1]?

Affirmative Mike! still can reproduce it even with Addons disabled

I assume you mean the SE and LE columns in the search results table? I'm seeing it fine with Nightly on OS X... testing on Windows 7 next.

Comment 8

[Achwaq Khalid]

Weird though! i tried it on 2 other machines but could only reproduce it on 1!! both running W8.1-64

Comment 9

[Achwaq Khalid]

Rectifications: I am now able to reproduce it on the two other machines too. what I could find is that it's reproducible with only some search queries!

like for example:

ghostbusters
gaga
parody
saturday

Please confirm by trying them.

WFM too 34.0a1 (2014-08-31), Win 7 x64

I'm still not able to reproduce this...

Achwaq - are there any errors in the web console that might explain this?

Nothing in-ordinary that i could figure Mike! by the way this is no longer E10S related but i can reproduce it on the Stable channel

[Liz Henry (:lizzard) (relman/hg->git project)]

WFM too in Nightly 36.0a1 (2014-10-23), with e10s enabled. I'm going to go ahead and take the e10s tag off this bug.

[Petruta Horea [:phorea]]

Same as Aleksej (comment 3), I could reproduce under Win 7 64-bit with Firefox 34 beta 8, but only when I zoom in the page twice (Ctrl++) in window mode. In this case the table is not resized so Size, SE and LE columns are truncated.
Could this be Firefox's or website fault?

Comment 15

[Kartikaya Gupta (email:[e-mail])]

Ctrl++ zooming bugs go under the layout component (confusing, I know, sorry).

Comment 16

[:shell escalante]

removed this from blocking the add-on bug - so it's in core:layout's team bucket.  based on comment 6 and all the others - i cannot see anything about add-on relation

Comment 17

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

A few questions:
 (1) Can anyone still reproduce this? (I can't, from a brief visit to https://thepiratebay.org/search/ghostbusters/ and zooming in twice with Ctrl+)
 (2) If you can reproduce: does the bug also happen if you simply shrink your browser-window, instead of zooming?

Having said that -- I can reproduce something like this bug using Firefox devtools, and I'm pretty sure this is a site bug, not a Firefox bug.  Based on the fact that this only reproduced with certain search terms (comment 9), I'm guessing it depends on having search-results that have long un-wrappable "words" (including underscores etc), which makes the result-title cell super-wide and pushes the other cells off-screen.  I can trigger this bug in both Firefox and Chrome by editing the title of a search-result and making it a super-long word.

So, in the absence of additional information / concrete steps-to-reproduce that disprove my above theory, I believe this is INVALID as a Firefox bug, and should really be reported to The Pirate Bay website develoeprs as an edge-case-ish website bug, for when search results with long unwrappable names are encountered.

Attachment: screencast of me triggering the same bug (I think) in Chrome, given a sufficiently-long search result title

Comment 19

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

(Notice the "SE"/"LE" columns are visible at the beginning of the screencast, but they're pushed out of view at the end of the screencast, due to the long [fake] search-result-title being too wide.)
