45016 - Wrong field alignment in use with the "windowblinds" desktop enhancement

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

I´m not sure whether this is the right component.

I´m using the windowblinds enhancement on Win2000 to make Windoze look better
and to add feature like collapse windows, set on top.... to *every* window
(http://www.windowblinds.net)

Unfortunately mozilla aligns its buttons and input fields in preferences and
popup boxes inappropriate.

Watch attachment #1 [details] [diff] [review], that´s the state mozilla generates.
Watch attachment #2 [details] [diff] [review], that´s the state mozilla generate *after* one click on the
border (see mouse cursor position).

I think if I can manually correct this by clicking on the border it should not
be as hard to fix... :)

ben, jrgm, do either of you see this? (i don't have win2k.) would this belong in
the themes or xp toolkit component?

Comment 7

[John Morrison]

You can run windowblinds on winNT or 9x

Attachment: The talkback component does it right

Comment 9

[André Langhorst]

Although the talkback component hasn´t much to do with mozilla, I though it 
probably helps. This bug is really bad and I heard of many windozers using 
windowblinds, perhaps this is a nsbeta3 candidate?

bug 48021 has additional screenshots that show what is apparently a 
Windowblinds/Mozilla conflict. Until the last few versions, what I see with 
Mozilla is what I used to see with Windowblinds - then they got their sizing 
right.

This bug still persists in Build 2000102320.  I don't see a need for a screen
shot, since it would be similar to the preceding one in this thread of comments.

still present, adjusting severity

Comment 19

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

is this limited to the mailnews account settings panel, or does this also occur
in the prefs dialog [from Edit > Preferences]?

Comment 20

[James Green]

One of the duplicates here is marked as a crasher. nbaca: can you evaluate
severity please?

The problem with Windowblinds is that all "skinned" windows have a larger height
than displayed. It is the same number of pixels as the top border's size.
To confirm, open any window (eg. Explorer) then do a alt+printscreen, then paste
the clipboard content into a paint program. You will notice the extra height.

Mozilla could be getting the "wrong" window size attributes. A few programs that
remembers window sizes will get larger with each open. Most don't have such
problem though. I don't do windows programming so I don't know what numbers are
used.
