Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Using Deer Park Alpha 1 or 2 a XUL button with no label, but a small max-width
style attribute, is rendered with an arbitrary width.

I use buttons like this via XBL to create very small buttons for numeric
"spinner" widgets. The problem also occurs outside of XBL when the button is
described directly in the XUL, with the style applied as an attribute (see the
URL for an example).

This problem does not occur in Firefox 1.0.x releases.


Reproducible: Always

Probably because this doesn't affect the content inside the button, and xul doesn't really do overflow.

There was a bug which was caused by max-width incorrectly overriding min-width.
This has now been fixed so that min-width overrides max-width as it should.
Note that you should probably have been overriding the min-width all along.
