Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, defect)

Description

[Kris Silver]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b4pre) Gecko/2008021804 Minefield/3.0b4pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b4pre) Gecko/2008021804 Minefield/3.0b4pre

When moving the unified back and forwards from the navigation toolbar to another toolbar, such as the file edit toolbar, the key hole design is lost.  Note, after several attempts this did work for me, showing it is possible but not happening all the time as it should.  The key hole design is also lost using small icons, which it shouldn't.  

Such basic UI customizations via the Customize pallet, should not break or alter back/forwards, it should remain consistent in look and feel throughout.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click over file edit toolbar
2. Open Customise pallet
3. Drag back/forwards to file edit toolbar
Actual Results:  
Back/forwards loses the key hole design.

Expected Results:  
Back/forwards should keep the same look and feel throughout.

I'm hoping the different design for small icons is intentional.  Otherwise the forward button is going to get tiny.

Well that was only one part of this.  Small icon design probably was intential, however the key effect could be kept and forwards no smaller than usual.  Additionally other icons such as stop and reload change, it's as if they all revert to Fx 2 icons.

The same thing happens when "show icons and text" is selected in Customize. I understand it, as it may be difficult to fit those texts under the keyhole, but it's a bit unexpected and it took me some time to figure out why I didn't have the keyhole.

THe keyhole form doesn't really work visually when separated in icons + text mode, or when very small.

Alex, will you be updating the height of the current back+forward button in SMALL mode on Windows XP? For I find it really too tall compared to the other buttons, and far to close from the top or the bottom line of the bar where it is located.
Thanks

Not sure this is a bug, however, it does cause issues with the "Use Small Icons" checkbox.

Steps:
1. Customize, move Back/forward beside "help"
(this converts it to the small version of the buttons)
2. Check the "Use Small Icons" checkbox

The problem created is that the icons that have been converted to small icons become large and the large icons become small.  The customize UI should allow for any size icon available to be dropped in wherever.  A global "checkbox" setting that modifies all icons regardless of location is cumbersome at best.
