210167 - Mac: Cut off UI in Preferences on Japanese locale

Status: NEW

(SeaMonkey :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[Yuying Long]

Build: 06-19 1.4 branch build on Mac 10.2.6 with Japanese locale

Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch browser, and go to Edit | Preferences.
2. Click on the preferences items, you will find quite a few of them are UI in
buttons, strings..., e.g. Appearance | Language/Content, Navigator, Mail &
newsgroups | Composition, Send Format, Instant messenger, ...etc.  The
Preferences dialog can not be resized.

I remember we had open bugs for this even on US locale, but when I check this on
US locale, it not that bad as before there; but with Japanese locale, it's
really can be a problem

From Ying:
  this is US issue, for JA, I can change the dialog size, we wont have
  this problem, i think this is not a stopper at all, it's really for
  who use US build on JA locale.

I agree, this is not a stopper, but seems like the dialogs should
automatically resize to the text using the current font metrics.

Moving to Preferences component.
