114174 - Long "Open With" path makes 'OK' button unclickable

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 112180

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Nick Kocharhook]

When you DL a file that Mozilla doesn't know what to do with, you can choose to
open it with a certain application. If the path to that application is too long,
it can become impossible to click the "Cancel" or "OK" buttons because they
scroll off the dialog box.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Go start DLing the latest nightly from the Mozilla.org front page. Try
another platform so you get the "Downloading blah.zip" dialog.

2. Instead of clicking "OK", click "Choose...".

3. Select a path to a program or file (doesn't have to be an application even)
that's several folders deep (~7 should do it).

4. Click "Open" or whatever your platform has you click to get out of the dialog.

5. Notice that the "Cancel", "OK" and possibly "Choose..." buttons are no longer
visible.

What happens:

If your path is too long and contains no spaces, the "OK", "Cancel" and
"Choose..." buttons disappear off the right side of the dialog.

If your path is too long and contains spaces, the text wraps... But the OK and
Cancel buttons still move off the bottom of the dialog. In OS X there's some
redraw issues too... You can see parts of where the buttons used to be, but not
all of them. And those parts don't represent the buttons anymore, so they aren't
clickable. You need to press Cmd-. to dismiss the dialog

What should happen:

We could do several things, but I guess the best idea would be to resize the
dialog if the contents won't fit any more. (Truncating the path would be a
hassle and who knows what the right way to do it would be.) In the case of a
path that has no spaces, it would be a good idea to wrap it so the "Choose..."
button doesn't get lost too. Perhaps wrapping at a directory delimiter would be
acceptable.

Same occurance in this 200112608 build.. since the window is not resizeable, and
the OK button is shoved to the right, it falls off the edge of the window and is
not clickable, as per screenshot.
