56949 - Content area layout dependent on menu and toolbar widths

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 20318

(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

[Neil Hodgson]

This XUL displays a DIV containing a short string and with a border around 
the DIV:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="chrome://communicator/skin" type="text/css"?>
<window
   xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"
   xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"
 >
   <box flex="1" orient="vertical">
     <html:div style="border: 2px solid magenta;" flex="1">qas</html:div>
   </box>
</window>

    When the Mozilla window is large enough, such as full screen, the 
magenta border appears all around the content area. As the window is 
sized smaller, the right and bottom borders disappear. The point at 
which this occurs depends on the Window chrome. If the menu bar is 
displayed then it occurs near the QA item. If the menu bar is hidden 
then it occurs once the address box on the navigation toolbar has shrunk 
to its minimum size.

    The menu and navigation toolbars should have no effect on the 
'logical width' of the content area. Once the content area size has been 
set by dividing up the window between the top level elements then that 
size should be the only determinant of the layout within the content area.

I 'elped looking :)
I think it's bug 20318 "Vertical & horizontal scrollbars disappear if window too
small (narrow, short)"

I agree its a duplicate of bug 20318 and friends although the other reports 
concentrate on the scrollbars disappearing.

Agree with reporters request. Marking dup of bug 20318 (Vertical & horizontal
scrollbars disappear if window too small...).

Taking off keyword --> qawanted and status whiteboard.
