Not sure if this is in the right component. Description: When the text size is changed using View\Text Size\*, the page should be redrawn to fit the new size, but it is not, so positioning becomes wrong. Steps to reproduce: 1) Load the query page http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/query.cgi 2) Scroll down to fields for summary, description entry, etc. (bug more visible there) 3) Change the text size to "Large." If you were at medium before, you'll see that the captions are now pushing into the text fields. 4) Change the text size to "Small." Now you see that what should be right- justified is no longer so. Expected behavior: On a size change, the page should be redrawn to the new text size. Workaround: Hit "reload" after the text size changes. Running build 2000090110 windows and 200090108 linux.
this looks like a dup of reopened bug 35681 "[REGRESSION] HTML is sized too wide" (by way of dup bug 42790 "Text too wide when browsing with enlarged text size.")

This seems like a different problem than the cases in bug 35681. Could someone verify that this is a duplicate?
I don't think its a duplicate-at least of that one. This bug is just saying that there should be a redraw involved here. Not that there is a *problem* (of which there are a few) with larger fonts.

Marking NEW so someone can make a decision on whether or not we should have a redraw happening.

I just tried this (linux trunk build 2000110908) and I get a redraw and reflow when I increase the font size. Are people still seeing this problem?
It redraws but causes some text and widget size mishaps and confusion. See attachment. I think it is partly caused by the new messages the browser sends to draw all those native GTK widgets. Doesn't seem to be a problem on xp widgets. Changing summary. So this should work on most pages now. Yay! Workaround: Reload. Can anyone confirm this on a platform other than linux? Running linux 20001107 build (where is the build number now?) on Red Hat 7.0.

I suggest marking this worksforme, since the problem is hardly seen (you have to try hard to get it), and no one seems to be attempting to fix it.
If nobody is currently working to fix a bug does not mean it is worksforme, regardless of how difficult the bug is to reproduce (if it can be reproduced).

Ok, disregard my last comment now, I just got it to do something like it again. (In addition, I'm also experiencing a bug for which every character I type in this box, it sends a "next page" signal and I can't see what the heck I'm typing...) Steps to reproduce: Go to the top of this bug report, or any other one for that matter. Change your text size to 200%. The text inside the widgets gets bigger, but the widgets themselves do not get larger. (Weird, because bug 47275 seems to describe the opposite behavior.) The drop-boxes also appear in a shade of grey instead of my normal lavender (from my GTK theme). In addition, GTK widgets like the cc: box do not resize, text or font. Now, change your size back to 100%. Yay, back to normal. Although the drop boxes are still grey. I know that worksforme is supposed to be for something that can't be reproduced at all, and I thought that it couldn't be. Sorry for the spam.

Well this sounds like a layout issue of some sort. The main problem described at the botton is that all the text on the page resizes when the text size is changed but the widgets are not resized to accomodate the larger text. Not sure who's in charge or laying out widgets on the page but I'll start at layout.

Two problems now remain: 1) Text resize causes the text inside XP widgets to resize, but not the text inside the widgets. 2) GTK native widgets do not change size, and the text inside them does not change size either. Note that if a native widget in question is off the screen when the resize occurs, you can scroll up to it after the resize and see that the font is correct. I'm going to spin off these two problems into new bugs, and mark this one fixed because the original problem from this bug (no reflow on text resize) was fixed.
