In testing Mozilla under a very small window, I noticed that the green outline on the URL bar does not redraw correctly until such time as the window is big enough to display all of the chrome. It looks like this outline in not drawn in this situation, and what is underneath bleeds through. Steps to reproduce (1) Resize the window to nothing. (2) Expand the window in small increments (eg use show window contents while dragging). One possible solution is to handle small windows by refusing to allow it to get too small, like I detailed in my "resizable dialogs" post in .xpfe. BuildID=M9

It is not acceptable to prevent the user from setting any window size they want, as long as it can still behave like a window. In yesterday's build, whatever is behind bleeds through the text content of URL bar, not the border. reassigning to buster, cc kmcclusk

looks like a simple repaint problem. assigned to kin, low priority.
What is the rationale for allowing really small windows? It makes no sense to me. A scroll bar should at least be present so you can get to the whole UI. I've also noticed the behaviour has changed to the inside of the text box.

The default mozilla skin has changed. I can't reproduce the redraw problem in my M12 build. matty@box.net.au, please reopen this bug if you can reproduce it in the latest builds.
No, I couldn't repro it, but I noticed that the browser window now has a problem when small. Do you think the skin change fixed it, or a layout change? If the former it might be possible to still create XUL to do so, if there are any clues.
