273664 - Fields in multcolumn fields don't wrap to keep all fields on screen

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Jim Wright]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Example: In internet banking, transactions page has three columns: description,
transaction value and current balance. On Netscape 7 and IE 5, description
automatically wraps to keep all three fields on screen. Firefox requires a
horizontal scroll to see the numbers by which time you may not be able to see
the key detail in the description.  This may be an enhancement or merely a
setting which is not covered adequately in the handbook. No URL for obvious
reasons, but this effect occurs in three bank web sites. Classed as minor but
IRRITATING !

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Sign In
2.  Select Account
3.  Open statement page.

Actual Results:  
Displays OK but numbers are not visible, because spacing depends upon longest
string in first column.

Expected Results:  
Second and third fields should be located against RHS of screen and first field
wraps as required to maintain this format.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that

highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
