291007 - About Dialog is no longer tall enough to show the new user agent string

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 238137

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Scott MacGregor]

Since dbaron's user agent string in Bug #274928, the about dialog is no longer
tall enough to show the entire user agent. The new Firefox/1.0+ part wraps to
another line which is not visible in the dialog.

Firefox/1.0+ has been part of the UA string for ages, no?

I use a smaller default font, so for me it all nicely fits.

this didn't regress after bug 289217 was checked in on the 17th ?
(which actuall improved the situation quite a bit)

Doesn't that make this a dupe of bug 238137 , kinda ?

I totally agree, In fact there is even a patch waiting for review on bug 238137

Hopefully I can wade through the sludge in bug 238137 and just pick something in
the next couple weeks, but it's not a blocker.
