mmmh btw I realize the same little addition sizetopopup="always" should be applied in the same file for the Font size dropdown list which numbers are completely unvisible (to be seen on my attached screenshots)

There seems to be a small error in the patch in that it tries to apply to home/famille/Bureau/truncationOnItems/after/display.xul a user I don't have on my system :)

But judging from the screenshot, I think it would be good to use the same spacing in both boxes, as it would look a bit better, so some spacing in the Size dropdown would be good.

(I'm clearing out my review request, cause it didn't get the ui-r, but I basically agree with what Andreas said.)

Could the cause just be that the dialog isn't wide enough on Linux? On Mac I don't see an issue.

From what I can tell the button should size to the drop-down by default, unless there's not enough room available for the button...

Attachment: Screenshot showing no artifact

There is no artifact while looking at this tab on latest build. Notice that dialog box has been resized to its minimum possible in order to show if menu-lists showed those "...", but it didn't happen.

The same occurs when opening the dialog box without resizing it.

This bug hasn't revieved any activity from its assignee since a year or so ago.

So, I mark it as FIXED, as long as when reported was a correct bug.
