User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20061201 Firefox/2.0.0.6 (Ubuntu-feisty) Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20061201 Firefox/2.0.0.6 (Ubuntu-feisty) The Google Suggest drop-down list is too narrow by default in Firefox 2.0. (I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.6 from Ubuntu 7.04 and Firefox 2.0.0.7 under Windows XP). See the screenshot <http://launchpadlibrarian.net/8591162/Google_Suggest_usability_problem_in_Firefox.png>. I'm using the default theme and fonts at the resolution of 1024x768. The mouse pointer doesn't appear in the screenshot; it was just pointing to the selected entry. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Firefox. 2. In the search bar, select the Google search engine icon. 3. Type in a common word that is not too short. Actual Results: A drop-down list from Google Suggest appears which contains several indistinguishable suggestions, because for each suggestion, only the first word is displayed, and the rest is replaced with an ellipsis (...) because of the shortage of horizontal space. You can only see the full suggestions as tool-tips, which is poor usability for the Suggest feature. Expected Results: Make the drop-down list wider to accommodate its content as necessary. Add a horizontal scroll bar if the entries still don't fit in.
This has already been improved in bug 357257, which made the "Suggestions" text not cut off all entries. I think this should probably just be duped to bug 339363, since a solution to this would most likely fix that too, and vice versa.
Agreed.
