153601 - Implement "overflow" attribute for <toolbar> elements

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 103543

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Sören 'Chucker' Kuklau (gone)]

The navigator chrome spec (
<http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=65067&action=view> ) mentions
"chevrons" to handle overflowing toolbars. Thus, I'm proposing a "overflow"
attribute that will handle them. It should have the following possible values:

- "chevron" (default) ==> will add chevrons to end of toolbar in case of
overflowing toolbar elements. chevrons will render a popup menu on click that
contains all remaining (overflowing) elements in a vertical order. (this can be
seen in explorer.exe of win98 thru xp)
- "clip" ==> will just clip off the overflowing other toolbar elements
- "newline" ==> will add a new line to the toolbar containing the overflowing
toolbar elements (or *multiple* new lines if necessary. This used to be the
default behaviour for win32 toolbars; still seen in "mplayer2.exe"s menu bar)

Since "chevron"s are, according to mpt, the most practical variant, they'll be
the new default. "clip" is the current handling and should remain for backwards
compatibility (as well as "newline" for conformance to old win32 apps)
