64343 - MODERN skin 1px font

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: Themes, defect)

Description

[tenthumbs]

With a 2001-01-04-10 nightly, mozilla tries to load a 1px font:
-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--1-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1

It's coming from chrome/modern/skin/modern/global/global.css

  .progress-text {
    visibility: collapse;
    font-size: 1px !important;
  }

Aside from the absurd numeric value, it's also an absolute measurement
which is also a no-no.

It also is wasteful on Linux.

There is a sad, but necessary reason for this 1px font.  The progress meter
anon. content has a text element in it.  It was decided not to use this text in
modern/classic, but we left it in there anyway in case some app developer might
want to use it.  The 1px font is necessary to prevent this text field from
expanding the height of the progressmeter.  Setting the text field to display:
none of visibility: hidden does not work, unfortunately.
