User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1b3) Gecko/20090305 Firefox/3.1b3 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

When I went to to the add-ons manager, in the themes section, the previews of the themes are either squished or a little bit shows (must scroll to see all).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to Tools> Add-ons
2.Click on the "Themes" tab
3.Look at the previews
Actual Results:  
Squished/Section of the previews of the themes.

Expected Results:  
Full size previews (like in Firefox 3.0).

The default theme only showed a small section of the previews, while some others (like myFireFox) shows it squished.

Confirmed on Windows XP. The problem is present in the latest trunk build, but not in Firefox 3.

Seems to be caused by Bug 423469:
http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/pushloghtml?startdate=2008-09-04+07%3A00%3A00&enddate=2008-09-05+08%3A00%3A00
Natch is already on the list.

So, I just tested this addon, and it's definitely a problem with the addon itself. Try moving the splitter over the default theme preview and see the difference. Bug 423469 enhanced the experience to a certain degree (as much as was possible) this extension seems to be messing around a bit with that.

Attachment: Small preview pane

Even with the add-on disabled, the preview pane is quite small.

It also reverts back to it after it is closed.

Bug 423469 is actually the opposite of this bug. For instance, Bug 423469 is a preview covering the list. But this bug has the list covering the preview.

The reason there are scrollbars is because the splitter between the themes and the previews is pulled to the right. The squished problem is *not* a mozilla bug, rather that theme's bug. I'm not sure what else can be done in this case, the window is too small to show the themes and previews and the size specified.

This is probably invalid as filed, but if there are other suggestions about the theme preview window, this could be done here I guess...
