41109 - html:input inside <textfield> 'shrinks' on first .focus()

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect, P3)

Description

[John Morrison]

(A minor variation on the textfield problems that were mostly
fixed yesterday).

Overview Description:
  html:input inside <textfield> shrinks on first .focus()

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Start Mozilla; run a bugzilla query
2) Edit->Preferences, Navigator, Use Current Page, to make
   this the value in that <textfield> 
3) Restart Mozilla; Edit->Preferences
4) click in the <textfield> for the home page location

Actual Results:
  visible text shrinks to ~1/2 the available width

Expected Results:
  no change

Reproducibility: always

Build Date & Platform Bug Found:
  2000053109 win32
  2000053109 mac
  2000053108 linux

Additional Information:

I added some colored borders to the '.textfield-internal-box' and to
the <html:input> contained within it. This shows that while the
.textfield-internal-box keeps full width, the <html:input> is the
element that shrinks.

I should point out that the purpose of getting a bugzilla query is to have a 
URL which is greater in length that the containing <textfield>. I don't see
this problem with shorter strings. I believe it's a general problem for 
textfields/inputs that have overflowing text.

Accepting bug.

This happens for me regardless of whether the textfield content overflows or not 
(WinNT4 build 2000-06-13-11).  Attaching a screenshot that shows a short URL 
that fits in the textfield easily, but is still getting clipped.

This no longer happens with Ender-Lite. Marking FIXED.

Comment 7

[kinmoz]

Forgot to mention that I tried to reproduce this on both Win32 and Linux with my 
06/28/00 debug builds and couldn't get it to happen since we are now using 
Ender-Lite.
