User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:40.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/40.0
Build ID: 20150807094550

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start Firefox and go to any site with a HTML video player (for example any video on Youtube).
2. Make a right click on the video and select on the context menu "Show Controls".
3. Make a right click on the video and select on the context menu "Show Statistics".


Actual results:

Entries can overflow and are not fully readable anymore (for example the address on "Media").


Expected results:

1. There should be a way to see all the text.
2. It should be possible to select the text for example to copy it.

No longer necessary since fixing bug 1270853.

As the statistics are planned to get reimplemented don't you think it would be better to keep all bugs blocked by #1270853 open and add them as a dependency of #1271768 or at least list their related feature there?

Of the bugs blocking bug 1270853, only bug 906635 was about some actual changes that may benefit web developers. The other bugs were very specific to the implementation of the old statistics, and wouldn't apply with a rewrite of them.

I imagine if we do want to revisit statistics, we may want to fully rethink what the goal of them is, and other ways to view it. They would probably fit better in the Developer Toolbox versus inside of the video element, as the area is constricted and lacks contrast with the video behind it.
