249276 - screen.width doesn't change when resolution is changed

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 62395

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Matt Verstarete]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040626 Firefox/0.9.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040626 Firefox/0.9.1

I was writting a JavaScript that reported the user's screen width using the
screen.width commnad when I found out that if the browser is open and you change
the computer screen resolution Firefox will report the orignal screen resolution
at the time it was open. If you close it and open it back up it will then report
the correct resolution.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Firefox
2. Run a JavaScript that alerts screen.width
3. Change Screen Resolution with Firefox still open
4. Run Javascript again

Actual Results:  
The alert box will report the screen resolution that the computer was running
when firefox was first opened.

Expected Results:  
It should have reported the current resolution.
