Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 253483

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

[Carlos Ribeiro]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2

Up to yesterday (2004-07-27) Yahoo! Mail was looking fine on my Firefox box. I
have changed nothing in my setup, but since today's morning the formmating of
the "folders" menu on the left side of the screen is broken. The options to
"empty" both the "bulk" and the "trash" folders are being positioned a little
bit to the right where they used to be. But there was no change in formatting
when I checked it using IE6. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Yahoo! Mail
2.Log in.
3.Look at the right side, at the folders menu.

Actual Results:  
The folders menu looks different from what it used to be, it's now broken. IE6
displays it just fine.

Expected Results:  
The options have to be positioned in the correct position.

This problem was not caused by any change in my setup. It's probably some small
change done by Yahoo, that's probably took into account some of the known
positioning bugs of IE. Either Firefox has to be corrected, or someone has to
point this failure to the Yahoo! Mail developers. I'm not sure if they will
respond to my request, it's probably better to have someone talking on Firefox's
behalf.

I'm sending this screenshot that shows where the problem ocurred. Just to
repeat: it was working fine up to the past few days, and I have noticed this
problem this morning as I turned Firefox on for the first time.

Same problem with recent Solaris (SPARC) builds.  It's reproducible with 1.7
branch builds as well.
