1854137 - Calendar event description does not get resized when resizing window

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1844729

(Calendar :: Dialogs, defect)

Description

[vhh790]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/117.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a calendar event with a description
2. Resize opened window
3. see how the window gets larger but the text input box does not

Actual results:

The input box will not grow vertically

Expected results:

It should have grown with the window.

As a side note, please make the description open up larger initially, the start date, end date, etc. do not need to take up half the window, being able to read the agenda if there is one is much more useful.

The dialog is too small so as to be not very useful at all and does not remember the resize - this seems to be a regression as I reported this for a previous version and have now added a screenshot to a previously closed ticket - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1726096 Sorry I don't sure of the correct protocol to raise this - its not the same as this ticket but these are compounding issues because the dialog needs to be resized every time to see the meeting links, yet this bug means the resizing is not effective. Is appending to the 2yr old closed ticket the correct way to report the dialog size issue?

No, a closed bug is closed.

Setting 100vh height on the dialog needs to be after it's loaded. Otherwise it doesn't get proper height.
This is removing the strange setting of the main id, which seems kind of pointless and confused me for a while.

Magnus, how does the patch for this bug relate to the changes proposed to solve bug 1844729?

Looks like they would be the same.
