357257 - Search autocomplete/suggestions use only half of the available width due to the word "suggestions"

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Search, defect)

Description

[Jesse Ruderman]

Steps to reproduce:
1. Focus the search bar.
2. Type "pas".

Result: The autocomplete results and suggestions are cut off at about 12 characters, using only about half the width available.  It seems that they are constrained because of the presence of the word "Suggestions" to the right of the first suggestion.

Expected: only cut off the suggestion that's immediately to the left of the word "Suggestions", or give the word "Suggestions" its own (non-selectable) row.

This probably depends on the solution to bug 339363 (see bug 339363 comment 1).

Sorry, but this patch makes no sense to me whatsoever.

OK, I get this now. r+sr=me; can't verify the toolkit change though.
