13529 - url gfx text bar only displays half width

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: XUL, defect, P3)

Description

[tor]

The url text entry bar in gfx mode will only display text in half the
horizontal span.  Typing text beyond this or drag-selecting will cause
it the text to start scrolling horizontally.

what build of the software are you using?  sujay, do you see this with a current
build on any platform?

I saw it in a 9/11 CVS build on solaris/native (gtk).

I see this in the browser's "Open Web Location" dialog off the file menu.  Is
that the URL bar you meant?  Usually, when we say "the URL bar" we mean the
type-in field in the browser UI in the toolbar with "back", "forward", etc.

assuming this bug report is about the URL text control in "Open Web Location"
dialog, I'm assigning it to rods, since he recently redid text control sizing.
The XUL is specified in openLocation.xul.  The text control is defined thus:
<box align="horizontal"  flex="100%">
  <html:input id="dialog.input" flex="100%" onkeyup="onTyping(event.which)"/>
</box>
So there's no height attribute or style, meaning the text control should
auto-szie based on the font.  So either the font info is wrong, the sizing
calculation is off for some reason (it's xul, so it's a different codepath than
the html text controls typically displayed in a quirks mode html page), or
somehow the box layout is interfering with the height calculation.  cc'ing
eric.
That'll teach you both to go on vacation!

I was talking about the URL bar in the browser UI.  Can't confirm if this
problem is still occuring, as my solaris builds have been DOA all this week.

I do not see the problem in either the URL bar or the "Open web location"
dialog in a pull from 9/17 morning.  Marking fixed.
