481215 - alert sheet not sized properly for its content

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

Attachment: screenshot of sheet with text overwriting buttons

While deleting a huge number of entries from History, I got an alert about an unresponsive script. However, the sheet was not sized appropriately for its contents, so the text is drawn on top of the buttons. See attached screenshot.

This alert sheet appeared a couple of times (looking the same on both occasions), before the Javascript code to clear out the history items finally completed (successfully).

Over to Firefox until we determine this is a widget-level issue.

So very much not a bookmarking/history bug.  If that dialog comes up, it maybe be the JS engine, but I'll let someone else make that call.

Jonathan, ever see the incorrect sized sheet again?

No, I haven't see this again. I just tried triggering that "unresponsive script" alert from the History window again a couple of times, but the sheet displayed correctly without the overlapping text issue shown in the original screenshot.
