The googlebar uses an editable menulist for the search criteria control. We are
getting numerous reports where font handling in higher resolution, which use the
120 lpi font set, are not displaying correctly in the widget. This is confirmed
by me when using the standard theme.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Googlebar into a standard distribution browser.
2. Set display to 120 lpi fonts, and higher resolutions eg. 1920x1200
3. Type some search words into the Googlebar.

Actual Results:  
text is incorrectly layed out.

Expected Results:  
lay the text out better

Dunno about you but the version of googlebar I fortunately happen to have
downloaded earlier this month uses <hbox id="search-textbox" flex="1"
persist="collapsed width" collapsed="false" maxheight="28" height="28">
Strangely enough maxheight="28" means what it says...

Thanks Neil.

It had already been fixed in the last release, as we removed that section that
specified a max height. Dunno where that came from, but maybe from the phoenix
days... as I remember some problems with the widget that only occured on phoenix.
