Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 283697

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[Steve Horan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20061114 Minefield/3.0a1

The size of the colour selection window under Tools > Options > Content > Colors isn't sufficiently wide to include all buttons, specifically those for selecting the colours of visited/unvisited links.  The window also isn't resizable, and thus cannot be made big enough to show this hidden buttons.  This can be clearly demonstrated by the screenshot URL: http://steve.horan.net.au/stash/ff_screengrab.png


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set screen res to 800x600 or lower and/or set standard fonts to a larger size.
2. Go tools menu -> Options -> Content: Click "colors"


Actual Results:  
Shows colour selection window with link colour selection buttons not fitting within the width of the window and being hidden.

Expected Results:  
Firefox should dynamically size the window so all content fits.  Making the window user-resizable may be an acceptable compromise for some res/font size combinations.  Alternately, the window is formatted in two halves, left and right.  Perhaps having these halves above and below one another rather than side-by-side would solve the problem easier for larger system font sizes.

I run XP in a screen resolution of 800x600 with some system fonts set to a slightly larger than default size.  I believe this is the main contributing factor to this bug presenting itself.
