51894 - HTML tag in XUL does not wrap if initially set to display:none

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: XUL, defect, P3)

Description

[andreww]

I've included two example files. One has the html widget set by default to 
display:block, and the other to display:none.  Each has two buttons which allow 
you to toggle the display setting.

In the one which has the display:none set by default, when you set it to 
display:block, the text flows off the screen to the right - not wrapping.
In the one which has the display:block set by default, it wraps correctly and 
will continue to wrap even if you toggle the display state.

This is a distillation of a problem in AIM where we have a panel set initally to 
display:none, and contains some text that must wrap.  Since it does not wrap, 
buttons which the user needs to get at are offscreen and makes the app "unusable" 
after that.

Nominating beta 3 as this will effect anyone trying to hide and show wrapped text 
via CSS. (Which NAIM does often)

looking at the test case further, it looks like the initial state of the html 
widget doesnt matter. As soon as I set it to display:block from any other 
setting, even if it was _already_ display:block - it stops wrapping.
