1172758 - Password dialog too small causes buttons cropped at bottom after setting larger font size/DPI on Windows 7

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Toolkit :: General, defect)

Description

Attachment: thunderbird password dialog.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0
Build ID: 20150513174244

Steps to reproduce:

Set the font size larger (eg 125%). When setting up an email account (POP) the password dialog is displayed as expected on checking mail.


Actual results:

The buttons are partially obscured.


Expected results:

The buttons should be fully visible.

I am using Windows 7 with enlarged font/display 125% (Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Display). It looks like Thunderbird isn't handling the possibility of large fonts for this dialog and it would get worse the larger the font scaling. The dialog can't be resized to show potentially hidden buttons.

This is a minor accessibility issue as Entger/Escape could always be used too.

I see this too when the checkmark text wraps.

This dialog comes from toolkit -> move to toolkit.

Richcard do you still see this?

The checkmark line does no more wrap when too long. It seems to be fixed with one of the flexbox changes.
