224558 - Application resizing switching between laptop display and desktop display

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[eirik esp]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7

I have a ThinkpadT20 laprop.  I noticed that if I have opened Firebird on the 
monitor output (not LCD), when I switch to the LCD display at lower resolution 
the application doesn't resize.  That means I can't see the right or bottom of 
the Firebird window (or scroll bars, etc).  When I reattach to my desktop 
display, it is still OK.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Laptop hooked to desktop display at larger resolution than LCD
2. Start firebird browser
3. Switch to onboard LCD display
4. Notice that FIrebird doesn't resize

Actual Results:  
The Firebird browser is virtually unusable in this state (can't access either 
right or bottom of browser)

Expected Results:  
Allow FIrebird to resize to new display size

Perhaps by the dual-head functionality, but the behaviour is different.  159125 
is moving from the smaller to larger display, this is the opposite.  Also, it 
isn't blotchy & I couldn't seem to kick it by resizing, maximizing, etc.  It 
just wanted to place scroll bars, etc as if it had the larger sized display.

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
