622537 - Establish a min and max size limit on screen for the Web Console

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(DevTools :: General, defect)

Description

[Maniac Vlad Florin (:vladmaniac)]

Build ID:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:2.0b9pre) Gecko/20110102 Firefox/4.0b9pre

Scenario 1:

1. Re-size the console by mouse vertically going up. 
Console should not re-size until whole UI is hidden. At least a line 
and the filters should remain always visible. 

Scenario 2: 

1. Re-size the console by mouse vertically going down, until you reach 
the bottom of your screen (max size). 
2. Dismiss the console (Ctrl + shift + k) 
3. Reopen the console
You will notice that the console does not remember accurately it's 
previous position. (state retention is not accurate in this case)

Scenario 3: 

1. Re-size the console until it fits all content area (max size) 
2. Go F11 (fullscreen mode) 
3. Drag the console down more, until you reach the bottom of the screen
4. Exit fullscreen mode
Once fullscreen mode is dismissed, the console window does not adjust 
itself and so resizing is again, improper. 

==========================================================================

Based on the above scenarios, I suggest we determine the min and max possible 
height of the Web Console, and have some limits of re-size.

I think this is soon to become the devtools window's problem.
