bah... app update doesn't have the Firefox logo in the UI... that is the add-ons manager incompatible update wizard so moving over to add-ons manager.

The entire UI is less wide than normal including the Windows native control for closing the window. I suspect your screen resolution is the cause and that all of your windows are less wide than normal.

Ok, thanks for moving it to the right place and for the good eye.
My screen res is 1900x1200, but, my font size DPI is 142.
Would that cause the distortion? 
I haven't seen this in any other app (including Thunderbird) or in any other situation.

I suspect that you might see it with the windows installer. Try starting the installer and only clicking next once. That page of the installer also has the logo. Please take a screenshot of it, cancel the installer, and attach it to the bug.

That does look better than the first screenshot so I suspect something is causing the add-ons incompatibility wizard to distort it.

Would you happen to know the path or folder within the exe for the update wizard's background? Or is there much more to it than just a slim chance that the background image is actually distorted and comes shipped that way?
 
I'm assuming that a visible wizard has been done away with in Firefox 4 because I just get the about:addons page listing the disabled add-ons.

That distorted logo is visible in the wizard for 3.5, and 3.6 but not the installer as you can see by the attachment.

I'll gladly continue to dig around (if need be) with your guidance.

I suspect that the high DPI setting is just expanding the header larger than we expect and that is stretching the image. This is actually something in the default widget implementation, not something we are doing in the add-ons code.

Agreed...

You can copy the following into the urlbar to see it.

btw: it probably won't be too hard to enforce a width and height that is the same for the image when this happens.

It's probably just as easy as setting align="start" on the hbox, it is probably defaulting to "stretch".

true... if I have some time over a future weekend (unlikely to be honest) I'll try to knock this out but anyone wanting to take this bug should feel free.

I tried the default 96 DPI setting and the logo in the wizard displayed properly.

I could have fit a bus, or a small island on my screen at that setting, but I could barely see what I was doing.
