305626 - Cropped text in preference pane (mac) when switching from General to Privacy tab

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[Zach Lipton [:zach]]

The text at the bottom of the Privacy part of the
preferences pane is cropped when switching from the General tab to the Privacy tab.

If any other section of the pane has previously been selected prior to opening
the preferences, the text at the bottom of the pane ('The Clear private data
tool can be used to erase your private data using a ....) appears normally.

Firefox/1.0+ (Branch, OS X 10.4.2). I should mention that this was also seen in
Gecko/20050822.

Seeing this problem here using Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O;
de; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050826 Firefox/1.0+, too. 
But I the text is _always_ cropped, no matter which pane was selected before
switching to "Privacy".

Note: The Sanitizer-description is 2 lines long in German, maybe that has an
influence on this.

Asa, that was a bug of mine that Zach kindly split off for me. I thankfully
can't reproduce this and will mark as fixed with Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC
Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050827 Firefox/1.0+
