On Win NT 4 SP5 nightly built 110809 1 open mozilla (all default settings) 2 click on bookmarks 3 click and drag the light blue 'grippy' to resize the sidebar to the left: do not reduce the size after the final 'd' in "What's related" (That's an other bug). 4 click and drag the light blue 'grippy' to increase the size of the sidebar. Do not release the mouse button. Observe that when you move the limit of the sidebar, you don't see the content of the side window under the sidebar separation. Why I don't like that In a day to day use I want to resize the sidebar (increase its size) to read a long bookmark for example. I want to increase the sidebar just enough. But I can't do that if I can't see what I am doing.

Do you mean that the sidebar size correctly when you let go, but you want better feedback during the resize?
Exactly. I want to know where I am and if the window I am resizing is just large enough to let me read the text.

I talked to evaughan about this bug today. It has to do with the resizing behaviour of boxes. Handing it off tho him.
