1601692 - Developer tools "Toggle rulers" incorrectly states height x width

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1584020

(DevTools :: Inspector, defect)

Description

[electricfeet]

Attachment: ToggleRulersBug.jpg

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:70.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/70.0

Steps to reproduce:

Open Dev Tools on a page select the "Toggle rulers for the page" toggle (an angled ruler in the top right). (If it is not available, ensure that it has been checked in settings.)

Actual results:

The rulers are displayed, together with an overlay, showing height x width (for example: "774px x 1514px").

Expected results:

The measurement should show width x height (not height x width):

1. Because W x H is the standard in web design;
2. Because Dev Tools needs to be self-consistent -- for example, the responsive design mode toggle correctly shows W x H (375px x 667px for an iPhone 6/7/8 in portrait).

Thanks for reporting this issue. It turns out this was also reported in bug 1584020 which was fixed in Firefox 71. So if you just update Firefox, you will get the fix.
