1193159 - Crash reporter "Details" popup is unreadable, with teeny scrollable area & mostly-wasted-space (gtk3-related?)

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Toolkit :: Crash Reporting, defect)

Description

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

Attachment: screenshot

STR:
 1. Crash somehow (using Nightly, in my case)
 2. On the crash reporter dialog that pops up, click "Details".

ACTUAL RESULTS: See attached screenshot. Tallish dialog, ~80% of which is blank space, and the top ~20% is a teeny scrollable area (2 lines of text tall), with presumably the full contents of my crash report inside of it.

EXPECTED RESULTS: Mostly-useful dialog, instead of mostly-wasted-space dialog. Easily-skimmable crash report details, taller than 2 lines of text high.


NOTE: This crash reporter looked different from how I'm used to it looking. I'm not sure if that's because of our recent application-wide gtk3 switchover, or because of some other crashreporter UI change.

Incidentally, the crash report that I submitted here was bp-246b67a2-908f-4bec-a186-1fb5d2150811 , using a Nightly with build id 20150805030208 (from last week).

For reference, the code that creates that dialog is here:

After some brief googling, I suspect we want to use GTK_WRAP_WORD_CHAR instead of GTK_WRAP_WORD:

Is this better with the changes made in bug 1192243?

[Alex Franchuk [:afranchuk]]

This won't occur with the new crash reporter client, as it uses GTK_WRAP_WORD_CHAR.
