277943 - Confirm close window with multiple tabs is huge when windows shuts down

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

When windows is shutting down and you are using an alternate shell or style
system and you have FireFox open with multiple tabs, the "confirm close" window
is impossibly huge. I tried to drag it around to find the "close" button but the
dialog was huge (bigger than both monitors could display, at least). I could not
use the keyboard, either ( Bug 268407 ? ), and resorted to a hard shut down.

I cannot reproduce this every time, but I have a feeling it is something to do
with the windows "styles update" message being mishandled.

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

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
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
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
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.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
