622352 - A popup Dialog box was too large (long) - didnt wordwrap a long URL properly

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 720003

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[thyg]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:2.0b9pre) Gecko/20110101 Firefox/4.0b9pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:2.0b9pre) Gecko/20101231 Firefox/4.0b9pre

Firefox interrupted an endless javascript loop.  When it did so, it made a popup that spanned all 3 of my monitors, trying to list the webpage (which had a very long URL).  I have Eyefinity so perhaps firefox thought it was only displaying on 1 monitor?

Or perhaps it was relying on Windows to wordwrap?  

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce




CANNOT reproduce because the javascript error must have been caused by an advertisement on the page... which cycles every time.

When it generated the popup it went off the screen.  I dragged the dialog box centered among my 3 monitors and took a screenshot. 

I uploaded the screenshot to my webpage at:

You may download it from there, if you want to see a snapshot of the actual bug.

OK button will be outside of screen if there is too long unwrapped label.
Cut & paste the following code into Error console and evaluate:

Components.classes["@mozilla.org/embedcomp/prompt-service;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIPromptService).confirm(null,"long url", "http://example.com/?aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa");
