131685 - mozillazine-tab in sidebar has weird scrollbar

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: Sidebar, defect)

Description

[Mrten]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:0.9.9+) Gecko/20020317
BuildID:    2002031708

the scrollbar as seen in the mozillazine-sidebar looks very weird, with no lines
at the top and bottom. it is also stretched, as if to demonstrate the with of
the window relative to the total content. i couldn't check what was happening,
as the 'view source' from the right-click menu is still broken.

also, try to perform this:
1) size the window to see a scrollbar in the tab
2) move the scrollbar in the 'recent news items' window completely up
3) move the scrollbar in the 'recent news items' window completely down
4) now slowly move the scrollbar up again

you'll notice that the content reaches the top before the scrollbar does. 

if you sorta 'shake' the scrollbar, the 'valid scrolling area' of the scrollbar
becomes smaller and smaller.

Reproducible: Always

You can see that the 'recent news items' scrollbar is half-way-up, and that the
content is all-the-way-up (trust me, it is :). 

note also the missing 'shadows' from the scrollbar.

the scrollbar is also far too wide for the modern theme. That regression
happened sometime yesterday and affects all sidebars with scrollbars.

Caused by the checkin for bug 128947?

ilp, i'm sorry. i didn't mention that it does not happen in the bookmarks tab
nor in the history tab.

the weird looking scrollbar is caused mostly by the
*
{
   border: 0px;
}
style

[Mrten]

how should a style affect the look of the scrollbar?

(and how did you manage to view the source? :)

the sidebar is written in XUL
CSS is used to modify the appearence of widgets

I looked at the install link and looked at where it was installed from.

The sidebar hasn't worked in recent builds since the switch from trees being
trees to trees being outliners.  I don't have any plans to fix it right now, as
I'm busy with other stuff.  WONTFIX.
