1) Install the Commercial build. 2) Install PSM from http://docs.iplanet.com/docs/manuals/psm/psm-mozilla/ 3) Visit a secure site like https://junruh What is expected: An easy to read warning. What happens: I get a warning box higher than wider which is enexpected and not easy to read.
John, are any other dialogs messed up? I did not change anything. don, I am using the common dialogs. Do you know what would have caused this?
The four security warning dialogs are the only ones I see that are different today.
Severity: normal → blocker

I believe this is because the warning dialog set a max size on the width of the text. There was a bug that made boxes not adhear to this. Now its fixed. Try turning on debug xul boxes in preferences. Then inspect the springs around the area that is too small. You will probably find a max size was set. Remove this and just set a "width" of whatever you think is appropriate. Can you reproduce this in mozilla? I'll take a look if you can. -E
yes, this is in mozilla. go to https://junruh. You will see this dialog.
This doesn't sound like a blocker. If the dialogs are difficult to read but you can still click ok/cancel/etc. that's a good enough workaround. removing from blocker list for now. readd if I am not understanding the bug.

commonDialog.xul line 27 You are setting the max size of the text container to be 45em. This is too small. Try doubling the size. You should also not be using "max-width". Just use "width". Max-width should only be used when absolutely necessary. In this case all you want is the preferred width to be set. And that's "width". This dialog is also unskinable because its style is done using the inline "style" tag.
