Build Identifier: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mobile-trunk/fennec-1.0a2.en-US.wince-arm.cab

device = HTC XV6800 win mobile 6.1 Pro, process = msm7500-400Mhz, mem free 129MB

The address bar to enter URLs in Fennec on WinMobile 6.1 device is only big enough to see one character.  I was unable to enter a URL and have the browser navigate to a page.

I had to switch the device to horizontal mode to view the address bar.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install fennec on winmobile 6.1
2. start fennec w/ device in vertical mode
3. view that the address bar is a white vertical bar that only allows one character to be viewed
4. unable to enter a URL to browse to a site
Actual Results:  
Unable to enter a URL in the address bar without switching to horizontal (landscape) mode

Expected Results:  
to be able to enter a URL in vertical device mode

What screen resolution do you have? 480x800?

This is similar to bug 486383

screen size is 240x320... The UI in bug 486383 looks very different..I don't have the rounded text field for the URL... The UI I see if just a veritical rectangle. I'll see if I can post a screen shot.

At 240x320, you have the same problem as bug 486383, we have just changed the UI theme a lot since then.

Although we haven't tested at all on a 240x320 screen. The smallest we have used is 240x400 (I think)

I saw this occur on 1.0a2pre via Omnia, but don't see it anymore on 1.0a3pre using the same device. Will find a bug associated with minimizing the navigation bar/area that was fixed between these two releases and set the bug as resolved:duplicate.
