57956 - mailnews account settings dialog isn't sensitive to font size

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Account Configuration, defect, P3)

Description

[Frank Belew]

If I increase my font size to 5mm in userChrome.css, the prefs dialogs on mailnews
don't scale with it, don't let me scale them, nor do they have scroll bars to
reach the newly hidden parts.

I get the not-resizing thing, but I can resize the window just fine.

when you say "prefs dialog for mailnews" do you mean the dialog you get when
doing "Edit | Prefs" or when doing "Edit | Account Settings"?

Yes, mailnews account settings, if it was the normal prefs, I would have filed
on the main frontend instead :)

This is also a problem on OS/2 and (I assume) windows with large fonts. 
Changing OS->All.

Attachment: Make dialog size dependent on font size

This patch makes the dialog size according to the font size.  The values given
are the smallest I could make them and yet have all the text viewable on OS/2. 
Have not tried this on another system.

Another issue is that since the dialog is now bigger, it does not appear
completely on screen in all occasions.  I tried passing "centerscreen" to the
openDialog command, but that doesn't work.  Any ideas?

Make dialog size dependent on font size

The proposed size meanwhile got to small because more content was added to this
dialog.

I'm currently testing this, and it seems at least 57em by 44em is needed so
nothing gets cut off.
