160638 - Save (and other) dialogs don't deal well with increased content.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 112180

(Core Graveyard :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Jesse Shaver]

In many circumstances, Mozilla dialogs seem to contain too much information (or
too strangely formatted information) to fit within the dialog box generated for
it. But there is no way to resize dialogs, nor scroll them, and this can lead to
content being lost. In some cases, information (or even worse: BUTTONS) will be
shoved off to the right or bottom of the dialog, below the clickable/viewable area.

Attachment: OS X dialog undamaged.

Part 1 of a 3 part series.

Comment 2

[Jesse Shaver]

Attachment: Now the content is shoved over...

Now, by selecting a different app to open the file, I've lost the icon, the
default button, etc...

Part 2 of 3.

Comment 3

Attachment: And now everything's being pushed down.

I couldn't replicate it on short notice -- all the buttons have been pushed
down one line in this image -- but it is possible to shove the buttons so far
down that they get truncated, or totally lost.

Part 3 of 3.
