289239 - Space for Firefox build identifier doesn't scale when About... box is resized

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 238137

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Joona Palaste]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050323 Firefox/1.0.2 Fedora/1.0.2-1.3.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050323 Firefox/1.0.2 Fedora/1.0.2-1.3.1

In the "About..." box for Mozilla Firefox, the build identifier is crammed into
two rows of text in a one-line text box. This causes the text box to have two
little scroll buttons, looking a bit ugly.
Resizing the window doesn't scale this text box properly. It widens horizontally
very well, but always stays vertically the same size, no matter how high you
make the window. There's a hardcoded linebreak of some kind inside the build
identifier, so no matter the size of the window, there's always two lines of
text crammed into a one-line text box. It doesn't even physically heighten into
two lines, so I'm stuck with the ugly-looking scroll buttons.
Enlarging the window creates plenty of empty space between the copyright
information and the build identifier, so surely this could be put into use for
resizing the build identiifer?


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the "About..." box from the Help menu.
2. Enlarge the window.
3.

Actual Results:  
The build identifier text box widens horizontally but does not heighten vertically.

Expected Results:  
It should resize both horizontally and vertically in proportion to the window.
