266400 - Toolbar customization needlessly broken-looking.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 212539

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, defect)

Description

[J.B. Nicholson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041026 Firefox/1.0RC1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041026 Firefox/1.0RC1

The toolbar customization window is a standard window (good!) but Firefox tries
to animate it like MacOS X panels by shrinking the window to 0 pixels high
(bad!) and the animation doesn't work.

As you can see in the attached screenshot, there are needless scrollbars by
default and the bottom row of buttons and pop-up choices (icons, text,
icons+text) are only partially visible.

When I request the customization panel, there's a noticeable delay.  I think
this is where Firefox is trying to do some animated stuff that doesn't work on
all video cards or display managers or something.  I have seen the animation on
other platforms and I see a bit of the animated closing.  It's not good looking,
it just looks broken.

When I resize the customization panel/window, I can get it to show up how it
should have appeared from the beginning.  I can also size it to reveal some
oddities (like a horizontal scroller well with no scrollbar, and a vertical
scroller well next to the add-new-toolbar/restore-default buttons that is so
small it can hold no scrollbar.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click on the Stop button, bring up "Customize..."
2. See the window render improperly.  Clearly, if it were a little larger no
scrollbars would be necessary.  I can resize the window to prove this.
Actual Results:  
The customize toolbar panel window opens to a wrong size (it's too small).

Expected Results:  
Forget the fancy stuff, just get the basics of this panel working correctly. 
Dump the animation attempt (it's inconsistently applied anyhow and doesn't fit
in with how GTK+ does things or how other panels in Firefox look).  Go for
sizing the configuration panel to avoid scrollbars (particularly the horizontal
scrollbar).

I'm using Fedora Core 2 with the default Redhat Bluecurve theme.

Note the scrollbars.  If the window were larger, they would not be needed.  My
screen has plenty of room for a larger window.	Firefox should have figured
that out and sized this window accordingly.
