63114 - Text box too small in address book preference

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[matxdr]

In address book preference, you can set the maximum number of cards to add to
the address book.  The default number is 700, but the text box is too small to
display 3 digits.

I am seeing this too, it should be a 6 digit box to accomodate. Just my two cents.

preferences.
The box is OK on linux btw.

[Azrael AOD]

This has been agreed with, and dupes made of it, hence I am confirming it.

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

what i've seen so far:

linux: as what rkaa had said, it looks fine. in either classic or modern theme.
winNT: the textfield is too small in either theme.
mac: the textfield is just right in modern, but too small in classic.

not sure if this should go to a mail or themes engr for the fix. gonna assign to
putterman, but also cc'ing hewitt. pls do change as needed.

er, before we just check in this workaround, is there a bug filed on the fact 
that the field is not sizing correctly?

filed bug 70885 --however, i'm now wondering if what ben was referring to in his 2001-02-03 18:38 comments is an xp apps issue, a themes issue, or a preferences issue...?
