This is how my bookmark properties dialog is cut off.
13.76 KB, image/png
Details 
using 12/27 trunk build on windows

1) launch netscape
2) launch composer
3) click on any object to bring up the dialog

notice at the bottom near the OK/Cancel button the dialog
looks cut off...

this is a regression.
This is strange. When looking at the "View Bugs Already Reported Today" link, or
a manual query with this bug in it, the summary shows up as: "Unknown socket
type. Loading aborted". But in this bug I see the summary as "dialogs are cut
off at bottom".

The wrong summary seems to be coming from bug 117113, that was opened at exactly
the same time.

Changing summary from dialogs->Dialogs, hopefully this will correct the summary.
Summary: dialogs are cut off at bottom → Dialogs are cut off at bottom
When I look at this bug in a buglist it claims that I am the assignee bug
showbug says cmanske. very odd.

re-assign to hewitt...I do see this problem happen on both skins though.

The only dialogs I see this in today is the Advanced Edit dialog as described
here, and when using the "Link Properties" dialog: In a new Composer window,
simply click on the "Link" toolbar button
Component: Editor: Composer → Themes
Summary: Dialogs are cut off at bottom → some dialogs are cut off at bottom
Details from bug 117711 to shoe Advanced Edit problem:

1. Launch netscape.
2. Open composer.
3. Click on "table" toolbar.
4. Click on "Advanced Edit...". The "Advanced property dialog" is pop up.

This is horrible!  I can't dismiss dialogs without the buttons!  Please fix this
ASAP!
Severity: normal → critical
set EDITORBASE since this is very basic and serious regression.
Whiteboard: EDITORBASE
Are any dialogs cut off so much that you can't get to the buttons?  The ones I
saw had the buttons partly cut off, but still usable, so it was just a cosmetic
flaw rather than a usability problem.
Yes, the buttons do not appear at all.  With today's blocker bug (focus
problem?) pressing return/escape don't dismiss dialog either so this is really
bad (imo).

nominating this as QAHP-top (from discussion with Sujay) due to frequency of
duplicates and severity of issue

We need this fixed for this milestone!

I started seeing this bug (although in a more general form: several dialogs are
cut off at the bottom...but not so much that the entire buttons are gone) after
a big Themes landing some weeks ago. I'm afraid I cannot remember the exact date
of the landing or who was responsible for it.
Now that I look at bonsai I think it was after hewitt's landing on 12/19/2001.
I'll try a build before and after that to verify.
Mozilla 0.9.7 from 2001-12-21-08 does NOT show this bug and that build did not
have hewitt's checkin included since mozilla0.9.7 had branched then (and this
checkin didn't land on branch).

A build from 2001-12-26-08 DOES show this bug. Unfortunately there aren't any
nightlies that I can test just before hewitt's landing, but I'm pretty sure that
that was what caused this bug. CC:ing him.
this bug is _not_ present with this am's commercial builds:

windows 2002-01-16-06-trunk
linux 2002-01-16-06-trunk
mac 2002-01-16-03-trunk (though mac insert image dialogue is now hosed in other 
ways...will log a bug on it)
I still see cut off buttons in Properties of bookmarks with 2002-01-16-08 on
Linux, using a fresh profile. The steps to reproduce are:

1) Create a new profile.
2) Go to Bookmarks->Manage Bookmarks
3) Right-click on a bookmark item and select Properties

Result: The OK and Cancel buttons are cut off just as show in attachment 65094 [details].

This is what someone reported as bug 119619, which was duped against this one.

Tracy Walker, did you try the above steps?
this bug ist "still" present in today's 1/16 trunk builds..

Tracy, try the H. Line dialog and the Link dialog...you will see
that the OK and Cancel buttons are cut off at the bottom. compare
with other composer dialogs.
I have been checking image insert dialogs (they look good now). But , yes, those 
other dialogs still are cut off. What fixed the insert image dialog??
*** Bug 120884 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
With a cvs build from 2002-01-19-22 on Linux the OK and Cancel buttons in
bookmark Properties are no longer cut off. Neither in Modern nor in Classic. I
have no clue what fixed that.
This is really horrible; can we get someone to investigate this soon?

What about creating a list with all impacted dialogs? Or do you think it's a
"general" problem, e.g. fixing this bug on one position will fix it it several
impacted screens? I mean, this problem seems to appear on many screens - not
only on 2 or 3 ...
This is part of the list I pasted into another (duplicate?) bug:
  Bookmark properties
  Composer's hrule properties
  Composer's insert table dialog
  Composer's named anchor dialog
  Composer's page colors and background dialog
  Composer's page title and properties
  Composer's Insert Characters and Symbols
  Composer's Insert HTML dialog
  Composer's List properties
  Composer's Create Table from Selection dialog
  Addressbook's New List dialog
  Addressbook's Properties dialog
  Bookmarks' choose folder dialog
  Cookie Manager
  Image Manager
  Password Manager
  Form Manager > Managed Sites
  Search Messages dialog
  Find (in Mail/Browser/Composer)
  Open Web Location (in Browser/Composer)
  Composer's color picker dialog

note: I haven't tried every dialog but my gut feeling is that the list of
"working" dialogs is shorter than the list of broken dialogs.

My checkin last friday did indeed fix this - it just regressed mac so you
couldn't tell right away.  When I land the patch in 121278 you will see that it
is fixed.
Status: NEW → RESOLVED
Closed: 23 years ago
Resolution: --- → FIXED
verified on Mac mozilla build from today; most (if not all) dialogs now seem to
be fixed.  :-)
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
