Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Security, defect)

Description

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:49.0; .NET CLR 4.0.30319; ffco7) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0
Build ID: 20170124094647

Steps to reproduce:

Open an http page with a login form


Actual results:

A message warning that is an insecure connection appears as the first autocomplete option and makes it difficult to see the other ones. It happens with a short-width field. Attached screenshot.


Expected results:

Maybe it'd be better a warning message with its own width or outside the autocomplete results?

Dimas, if this bug is about the general appearance of the Insecure Contextual warning, this is working as designed. Check bug 1217150 for the discussions on this area. 

But, I see a small problem with the contextual warning message wrapping when scroll is present that was missed while fixing and verifying bug 1325695 but for that I shall log a separate bug to reflect this: bug 1333756.

Attachment: too long warning

The bug is not related to scrollbars, I have a ten lines warning message on a short text box.

I agree, I think it hasn't been designed thinking in these cases, maybe someone should take a look...

Zeus, I believe that the way your example functions as it was designed. Given the fact that the Insecure contextual warning is shown inside the username or passwords field, there isn't actually any other way to display it.
