STR:

  1. Be on a certain monitor configuration (small monitor size / high DPI etc) that would make the main menu scrollable
  2. Have a localized version of Nightly that the "Zoom" text on the main menu would be a bit long (or, alternatively, replace the value="Zoom" attribute on the Zoom's label to value="מרחק מתצוגה" (Hebrew), or value="ზომის ცვლილება" (Georgian))
  3. Open the main menu

AR:
Menu items are readable and not cut off.

ER:
In the Hebrew case, the menu items are still visible but hovering them makes it obvious something is cutoff from the side.
In the extreme case in Georgian, the shortcuts are almost emtirely cut off.

This is because the .toolbaritem-combined-buttons:is([cui-areatype="menu-panel"], [overflowedItem=true]) selector I'm using in panelUI-shared.css doesnt match these items when they are in the main menu. There's no cui-areatype attribute on the items in this menu. So, I'm not sure if the best solution is to add/revert to the panelview .toolbaritem-combined-buttons we were using previously (which remember doesnt match these button when they are in the overflow menu in customize mode.) or something else - maybe ensure mainMenu toolbar items do have a cui-areatype attribute?

Flags: needinfo?(dao+bmo)

For the purpose of uplifting, let's revert to :is(:not([cui-areatype="toolbar"]), [overflowedItem=true]). But then I still think these attributes are pretty unhelpful for CSS (which I think is their main purpose?), so going forward I think we should either figure out how to wrap the customize mode fake panel in a panelview element so we can use that selector, or otherwise revamp / consolidate cui-areatype in a way that makes sense (maybe fold overflowedItem into it as well). Gijs, do you have any further thoughts?

For the purpose of uplifting, let's revert to :is(:not([cui-areatype="toolbar"]), [overflowedItem=true]). But then I still think these attributes are pretty unhelpful for CSS (which I think is their main purpose?), so going forward I think we should either figure out how to wrap the customize mode fake panel in a panelview element so we can use that selector, or otherwise revamp / consolidate cui-areatype in a way that makes sense (maybe fold overflowedItem into it as well). Gijs, do you have any further thoughts?

cui-areatype is/was also used for logic, and is meant to indicate the CustomizableUI area type that something is in (a decision from the australis / fx29 days). This meant that items that overflow from the toolbar into the overflow menu have areatype=toolbar, whereas items that were in the then-customizable main menupanel had areatype=panel. When for Photon we made the main hamburger menu non-customizable, but made the overflow panel customizable, the areatype=panel bit migrated there, which led to the confusing situation where:

  1. items in the overflow panel can be either areatype=panel or toolbar, depending on whether they are "pinned" to the overflow panel or not
  2. items in the hamburger menu have no areatype attribute at all

I think in the short term, the panelview descendant selector and making those work in customize mode is the sensible option. For future ease of maintenance it probably makes sense to more clearly split out any logic relating to area types on the one hand, and attributes/classes around "is this in a panel" on the other. Perhaps the areatype attribute should be renamed in some way.

Hopefully that all makes sense...

Yeah that makes sense. I've opened bug 1764832 for the panelview follow-up - which seems to be the most sane first step here, once we've got the issue patched on beta.
