279077 - application launche dialog too small.(Text is right-truncated in warning dialog box)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 240704

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Amber Kerr]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

When a dialogue box pops up to give a warning about launching external
applications, the text is truncated or cut off on the right-hand side.  The text
does not fit in the window.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using Firefox 1.0 and Mac OS 10.3.5, go to the site http://www.apple.com/itunes
2. Click on the link in the upper right corner, "Create an iTunes Music Store
account..."
(I'm sure the problem would come up with other sites as well)

Actual Results:  
I got a warning dialog box which was displayed incorrectly.  The text was
truncated as follows (the right end of each line was cut off):

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

An external application must be launched to handle itms: links. Requested

itms://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/vie

If you were not expecting this request it may be an attempt to exploit a wea
this request unless you are sure it is not malicious.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The dialog box was one of the kind that "slides down" from the top of the
browser window, rather than popping open in the middle of the screen.

Expected Results:  
The dialog box should have appeared larger in order to display all the text.
Or, the lines of text should have wrapped.
It looked as though the dialog box was specified to be an exact size which in
this case was not large enough.

This seems to be similar to Bug 79889 (truncated dialog box for download
progress) and Bug 274891 (localized text does not fit in dialog box).  I don't
think it's identical to either of these, but maybe it is a related problem.
