124332 - JavaScript Console should use fixed width font

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Error Console, defect)

Description

[Rodd Clarkson]

The JavaScript Console uses a variable with font.  This means that features like
the green arrow which underlines the point in a line with the JS fails is hard
to match up.

Switching to a fixed with font would make the green arrow appear under the point
in the line with the JS fails, just making the feature useful.

Attachment: Proposed Patch

IIRC the problem is due to an error in attachment 26499 [details] [diff] [review] to bug 67647 - only the
classic skin was patched with the monospace style, the modern skin was
overlooked.

i think this is one of the rare instances that justifies coding it in a  content style instead of in each theme.  [I'm saying this while wood is running here, and littlemozilla is running on my laptop.]  Just make sure that the node with the style also has an id and that a skin could win if it wanted to.

thoughts from skin authors?
