Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 391981

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040302 Firefox/0.8.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040302 Firefox/0.8.0+

Resize the firefox window so it is very thin, the location widget shrinks
correctly until it gets smaller than the URL icon. When it is this small the URL
icon is outside the location box, on top of the control next to it.

I think the location bar should shrink until the size = icon size+ 2* border
size // for left and right borders.

Reproducible: Always

Note to the two screen shots, the second showing the bug in action. I have
circled the icon in the location bar in both shots (in orange)

Please download a current nightly build and start it with a fresh profile and
try again.

I got the latest nightly build, but I don't know how to do new profile thingy.

Still got this bug though.

Do not reopen a bug, if you don't address the issues I mentioned earlier.

Please see http://texturizer.net/firefox/bugs.html#s1 on how to create a new
profile.

OK I tried that and still get the bug.

You make it sound like you don't want people to post bug reports, I don't know
if thats how you mean to come across, but it's not very friendly to newbies. Let
this bug as WORKS FOR YOU *shrug*

And take it from me, there's a heck of a lot in firefox that looks counter
intuitive or strange behaviour in the GUI compared to what XP users expect.

I can reproduce this with a fresh profile, build 20040424 on Windows XP, Windows
XP Style.

Comment 8

[José Jeria]

This bug seems to be XP only, works fine with the same build on a Windows 2000
machine.

This bug would be better fixed by increasing the minimum width of the browser window.
