207569 - font size shown in Format->Size menu always xx-large when no text selected

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: Composer, defect)

Description

[Ajoy Bhatia]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030529
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030529

In Composer, if you set the font size to any size other than "medium" thru
Format->Size menu WITHOUT ANY TEXT SELECTED (very important) and then check the
size again in the same menu, the bullet will always be against "xx-large". When
"medium" size is selected, bullet shows up against "medium", which is correct.
Any other size selected always moves the bullet to "xx-large". The important
condition is: without any text selected. It works fine if some text is selected.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Composer
2. Change font size setting thru Format->Size menu to anything other than
"medium" or "xx-large", without any text selected.
3. Check the Format->Size menu.

Actual Results:  
The bullet showing currently selected size in Format->Size menu, was always
indicating "xx-large".

Expected Results:  
The selected size should have a bullet against it in the Format->Size menu.

This bug is marked "PC - Windows 2000" because that is the machine/OS I saw it
on. I haven't tried other hardware/OS combinations, so it could be "All - All".
Also, not a very important bug to me - just letting you know since it still
exists in the 20030529 build.

I see a problem in my Macho build but it always shows x-small as checked rather
than whatever I checked.  I'm not sure if this is a regression or not.  It seems
it has been broken for some time (Dec4/2002 Mozilla build tested and confirmed).

[ bugzilla backup lost my big comment :-( ]
nsIHTMLEditor::GetInlineProperty isn't checking the attribute value for a
collapsed selection; we could switch to GetInlinePropertyWithAttrValue which
would have the other advantage that we only need to call it once.

Except GetInlinePropertyWithAttrValue doesn't work if the collapsed selection is
just after the <font size> :-(

Curious: GetInlinePropertyWithAttrValue works correctly in 1.4b/W2K

Attachment: Proposed Patch

This is the patch that works for me in 1.4b/W2K but not on a Linux nightly...

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but still has no comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project 5 years ago.

Because of this, we're resolving the bug as EXPIRED.

If you still can reproduce the bug on SeaMonkey 2 or otherwise think it's still valid, please REOPEN it and if it is a platform or toolkit issue, move it to the according component.
