New contact dialog ready for review.
The Photo tab doesn't really work, but it's not related to the input conversion.
I reported it on bug 1581253.

maybe for these it's preferable to remove the default xul namespace instead...

The department field shows up for me, how does it look for you?

Regarding the Address double line, I'd suggest to leave it as it's pretty common to have 2 address lines for extra info, like apartment #, buzzer, etc.
I noticed that the label for the second line doesn't actually have any text.
Should we add it for accessibility?

I notice there are other things off too.

Re "keep" it on one line, i was referring to the actual code. (That you now put each attribute on its own line.)

Comment 5

[Alessandro Castellani [:aleca]]

Yeah, I noticed now the Stat/Province line being busted.
I'm reworking the patch, and applying the aria-labelledby attribute as well.

I think I figured it out.
For some reason your fields have a min-width that doesn't allow them to properly "flex" into the limits of their container.
It doesn't happen on mine, it might be a HiDPI thing.
Working on a fix.
