222782 - Advanced Javascript window incorrectly sized.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[Tom]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7

Under Tools/Options/Web Features/Advanced Javascript, The window that pops up is
1) too small to display the text, and 2) Not resizable. 
The First line of text shows as "Move or resize existing wind..."

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open tools menu
2. Select Options 
3. Select "Web features Tab"
4. Under Javasript, click the "Advanced" Button. 
5. Look at the window

Actual Results:  
The First line of text shows as "Move or resize existing wind..."

Expected Results:  
Opened a larger window. And the window must be resizeable. If someone is using
larger fonts, even if the window is made larger, it may not be big enough. All
windows should be resizable, no matter how small or simple they are.

I have large fonts selected

this WFM in Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6a) Gecko/20031024
Firebird/0.7+

the window is resizable (though the initial text is truncated the same).

its not resizable in WinXP, that's a problem.

either we need to just be resizable, or find a way to resize based on font size
and apply that to a number of these windows

or just design it as a bigger window, and then allow it to be resized (and
persist that size)

I'm sure this is a pain for some localizations too.

The same eye-soar appers here on Suse Linux 9.1, Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux
i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040626 Firefox/0.9.1.

Get it fixed! Shouldnt take more than 5 sec.

There is a workaround for localized builds. In
mozilla\toolkit\locales\ab-CD\chrome\global\intl.css the dialog width can be
overridden.

/*

#advancedScripts {
  min-width: 30em !important;
}

I see exactly the same problem here on Firefox 1.0PR on Windows XP

Seems to be working fine in Linux. I'm able to resize the window.

As I already mentioned in my dulbicated of this bug (rolleyes), there is a 
quite simple solution for this.

pref-advancedscripts.xul 
(http://lxr.mozilla.org/aviarybranch/source/browser/components/prefwindow/conten
t/pref-advancedscripts.xul)

change
<listbox flex="1" rows="6">
to
<listbox flex="1" rows="6" style="&prefbox.style;">

and add <!ENTITY prefbox.style "width: 20em;"> to pref-advancedscripts.dtd 
(http://lxr.mozilla.org/aviarybranch/source/browser/locales/en-
US/chrome/browser/pref/pref-advancedscripts.dtd)

This allows translators to make the box as wide as needed.

Higher resolutions on OS/2 get 120 DPI. I have enlarged my system font from the
standard 9pt to 10pt. The window is not resizable.

This should definitely be fixed as people who have less computer knowledge may
not be able to "fill in the blanks", and will not know what each list item is.
It should be fixed ASAP.

[:Gavin Sharp [email: [e-mail]]]

This is now INVALID, because of the new prefs panel.

See bug 283716.

filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change
