264749 - profile manager buttons don't fit well in dialog box

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[wintogreen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10

In the profile manager dialog, the two buttons at the bottom of the dialog are
flush up against the bottom edge of the dialog box; there is no space between
the buttons and the box. Please see the URL provided for screenshots.

I am using the Japanese-language version of WinXP, and this problem occurs ONLY
when the Windows font size is set to Standard (i.e., the smallest the three
available font sizes). 

I have noticed this issue ever since the profile manager was reworked (version
0.7?), and it has been this way with all milestone releases and branch builds
that I've tried since. I have checked this out on two separate XP-Japanese
computers and had the exact same result with each. I recently tested the old
profile manager (from TB 0.5) and it looked fine, with spacing between the
buttons and the dialog box.

Note: the profile manager for Firefox 1.0PR has the same issue.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch the profile manager.
2. Look at the two buttons at the bottom.
Actual Results:  
The two bottom buttons are displayed as I've described.

Expected Results:  
There should be some space between the two bottom buttons and the edge of the
dialog box, regardless of what size Windows font is used.
