158692 - multiple splitters cause misalignment of tree data and headers

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 137389

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[jason bailey]

created a window with 9 columns with a splitter between each column.

populated the fields with an rdf template

when displayed, the headers are displaced to compensate for the insertion of the
splitter. However the contents are not being adjusted. After 3 to 4 splitters
there is an obvious displacement that makes the use of the tree unrealistic.

Can you provide a testcase please? Thanks.

I was unsure of what you needed for a test case so I've placed an example on the
following url.

http://members.aol.com/jbaileycibs/

this will give you links display the tree with and without the splitters as well
as text representations of both xul files as well as the rdf file.

please note that you may receive a message "url not on this server" when
selecting a link. this appears to be an issue with the host.

Moz Version: 1.3.1

Okay, I'm getting a version of this problem as well. When viewing a XUL tree
with Moz 1.3.1 (In 1.1 this renders fine), Putting splitters into a tree will
re-arrange the columns. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to how it gets
resorted. 

This bug is viewable (at least) under Mandrake Linux 9 and  Redhat Linux 9.

This is a testcase for the above.

Alright, there's a workaround for this. In order to fix this bug, you need to
add class="tree-splitter" to the <splitter/> tags. (see workaround attachment)

/However/, you need to be carefull not to use style="overflow: auto" on the
page, since moving the splitter around will cause Mozilla to crash. But that's a
bug for a different day, I suppose.

about comment #5:
<wizardpage> is overflow: auto;
before 1.4 I workaround crash using: max-width: 1px; 
but now I can't use <splitter>s in <wizard>s because something change and if I
use  max-width: 1px produce a horrible visual output (really, every <treecol>s
painted with splitter's background-color).
I must open a new bug? I must post a testcase?
