111533 - Text Zoom modifies layout of slashdot.org

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Matt Burke]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.14 i686; en-US; rv:0.9.1) Gecko/20010610
BuildID:    2001061002

browser from slackware 8 distro.

when slashdot is loaded with a small (50%) text size, and you attempt to resize
it to 100% from the view menu, mozilla will get it wrong. A refresh solves the
problem.

Apologies if this is a duplicate.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set text size to 50%
2.Bring up http://slashdot.org

[steps 1 and 2 are interchangable]

3 set text size to 100%.

Actual Results:  The display looks considerably different to what it will do
when you press 'reload'

Expected Results:  see above

Mozilla from Slackware 8, apologies if this is a duplicate.

WFM, win98SE 0.9.6.

That said, font issues have a nasty habit of being GUI-specific.

Reporter: that is a very old build (10 June 2001, over 5 months ago now) - any
chance you can re-test with something more recent?

bloody hell, sorry i didn't realise how old it was.  iirc the CVS version i had
a few weeks ago working with my LFS system (sadly destroyed due to a defective
HDD) worked well.  I probably just wanted to bring up the fact that it's being
supplied with a reasonably up-to-date distro and it's broken.... IYSWIM...

will try a CVS build from this slackware installation in a few days, will let
you know outcome..

Worksforme on 0.9.6 win2k as well. I don't think we can do anything about
Slackware using an old build... Sending over to XPApps and modifying summary.

Matt, any luck with that newer build?

Comment 5

[gavin long]

in view of reporter's comment #2 above, and everyone else's WFM, marking this
one WORKSFORME.

Matt, if you still have a problem with a more recent build, feel free to re-open
this bug

bug report), making sure it pertains to the original problem (avoid morphing as
much as possible :)
