Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020826
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020826

Text in a javascript pop-up window does not word wrap, so long lines run beyond
the rightmost side of the windows and cannot be read because there are no
scrollbars.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit http://www.checkfree.com/
2. Click on any of the red "Tell me more" or "How can it be free?" links.
3. See window with text that runs off the right hand side and does not wrap.

Actual Results:  
Window pops up, but text runs off the right hand side of the window and cannot
be read.  There are no scrollbars either that would allow this.

Expected Results:  
Works fine in Netscape 4.x.  Window pops up and text wraps so that all lines are
readable.

Two related bugs: bug 170454 (no scrollbars) and bug 101509 (make window resizable).

Please specify your settings under Advanced-->scripts & Plugins

The only boxes I have checked in Advanced -> Scripts & Plugins are:

- Change images
- Create of change cookies
- Read cookies

I changed the "Move or resize existing windows" setting, and it does not solve
the problem.

Tried the same steps as per comment#6.
the words wraps for me, i even changed the minimum font size, it still wraps the 
words but pushes the lines off downward and u cant see it as there r no scroll 
bars.
Used Windows 98 Gecko/20021016

please see if u have minimum font size set to "none" or anything,
and also if u can paste the text that u do see that would help

1.3b/OS X is behaving for me just like Comment 7 which describes something
different from this bug (and which is either an invalid bug bordering on evangelism)

Reporter, are you still seeing *NO* word wrap in recent builds?

Comment 9

Chris,

The original problem I was seeing on the mycheckfree.com web page has been
corrected one way or another; it wraps quite properly now.

I have seen some other odd wrapping in popup windows but nothing that has
prompted me to update this bug.  It's all been minor things that could be
related to HTML coding, but I haven't bothered to test them out in another browser.
