417678 - Gmail chat window overlaps with the rest of the mail area

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 425870

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Deepak Chandra]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9b3) Gecko/2008020511 Firefox/3.0b3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9b3) Gecko/2008020511 Firefox/3.0b3

I used the hosted version of gmail in which the chat window overlaps with the mail area, making it inaccessible. The problem is that one of the names in my chat list is really long, and hence in order to display that name the chat window extends into the mail panel of the gmail.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log on to hosted gmail account
2. add someone to chat that has a long screen name
3. make sure he is active

I can confirm this issue running on a Ubuntu Hardy machine with the distributed version of firefox.
Since Gmail is quite popular (at least in the Netherlands) and this really looks bad, I would call this a 'serious' rendering issue.
This is not the case running any of the 2.x versions, so it is due to a change since then.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b3) Gecko/2008020514 Firefox/3.0b3

Operating system - Windows XP Pro
