528800 - Checkbox labels are cut on localized Crash Reporter Dialog

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1670436

(Toolkit :: Crash Reporting, defect)

Description

Attachment: Screenshot of the Crash Reporter Window

If the translation of the two checkboxes under the comment textarea is too long, the label is cut instead of being displayed on two lines or force the window to enlarge. 

This happens on the Italian (it) build on Mac OS X, but I suppose the same issue can affect other locales as well.

The second checkbox translation is "Invia una e-mail quando saranno disponibili nuove informazioni" (CheckSendEmail in crashreporter.ini).

We have code that tries to resize the checkbox labels to fit (and the window to fit, if the checkboxes get too wide):

It must be failing for some reason here. Has this always worked like this for you, or is this a regression?

Honestly I don't know, I've just noticed this problem because I encountered a bug that makes mozilla1.9.2 nightlies systematically crash.

BTW, I tried with a fresh profile on Fx 3.5.5 and crashme.xpi, and the window has the same problem.

Just to narrow down a bit: 
* Firefox 3.5.2, same problem
* Firefox 3.0.15, works fine (window it's resized)

I suppose that this problem has always been there for Firefox 3.5

This is still happening on current builds. Any chance to fix it?

This is still happening. When the dialog is localized in French, there are 2 strings that overflow.

The severity field for this bug is relatively low, S3. However, the bug has 4 duplicates.
:gsvelto, could you consider increasing the bug severity?

The last needinfo from me was triggered in error by recent activity on the bug. I'm clearing the needinfo since this is a very old bug and I don't know if it's still relevant.
