266926 - Advanced JavaScript Options dialog cuts off option descriptions

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 222782

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[Justin Kerk]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041029 Firefox/1.0RC1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041029 Firefox/1.0RC1

The Advanced JavaScript Options dialog is not wide enough to display the full
descriptions for all of the checkboxes it contains, and it is not resizable, so
some of the descriptions just end prematurely with a "...". This makes it
difficult to figure out what the affected options are supposed to do, plus it
looks bad.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Tools->Options->Web Features->Advanced...
Actual Results:  
Dialog appears with the descriptions of the options cut off.

Expected Results:  
Display a dialog wide enough to accomodate the descriptions.

I tried cleaning out the Mozilla Firefox directory and reinstalling, with no change.

Marking normal since it does obstruct functionality and there's no workaround
that I know of.
