179058 - Bookmark properties window is rather narrow

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

The bookmark properties window is so narrow that only about 30 characters fit to
the right the the http://. This is extremely unlikely to include a whole URL, or
even much of one, requiring lots of clicking and scrolling across to see the
whole of the Location field. Meanwhile, the top half of the window is wasted by
a self-evident description of what a bookmark is.

The bookmark properties window would be vastly more usable if the displayed
section of the Location field were significantly longer.

Confirming, but I am surprised that I could not find any duplicates.

Comment 2

[Torben]

This bug is not platform dependant, updating plattform/OS. I also do not think
this is an enhancement, but a real bug, albeit a minor one.

Comment 3

[Alfred Kayser]

Note, Bug 117026 contains patches for this dialog, including making it wider.

Comment 4

[Robert Pollak]

Additionally, the window should be resizable.

This bug is closely related to bug 219972.

marking FIXED now that the patch for bug 117026 has landed.  making the window
resizable is bug 219972.
