636179 - Hovering over a long URL stretches the layout outside the window space

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, defect)

Description

[Javier]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0b12pre) Gecko/20110218 Firefox/4.0b12pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0b12pre) Gecko/20110218 Firefox/4.0b12pre

When hovering over an URL longer than the width of the window, the location bar at the bottom of the windows represents the whole destination URL, which stretches the layout outside the window space. The content of the tools bars and the layout of the website are displayed as if the width of the window was the length of the URL, which is bigger than the window itself, and the right part is lost because it's displayed outside of the window.

If after the change in layout, the link is no longer under the mouse, the URL is not displayed and the layout returns to normal, where link is under the mouse again. This creates a constant change between layouts.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Place mouse over a link to a long URL
Actual Results:  
The layout gets messed up

Expected Results:  
The URL is truncated at the edge of the screen, keeping the layout the same.

Is this still happening in Firefox 4.0, and if so, can you attach a screenshot, please?
