67120 - Pref UI won't show fixed-width font size

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Preferences, defect, P3)

Description

[Akkana Peck]

The pref window isn't big enough to show the font sizes in the font panel, and
when I resize it bigger, the fixed-width font dropdown stretches to take up the
available horizontal space, so the size is always off the screen, no matter how
large I make the window.  So it's impossible to change fixed-width font size.

Are you using the Classic theme?  If so this is a dup of bug 51241

Comment 2

[Akkana Peck]

No, I'm using modern.

Comment 3

[Jesse Ruderman]

May be related to bug 67597, "[modern] some drop-downs change size when 
selection changes" (at least Windows).

Comment 4

[Akkana Peck]

Nominate for nsbeta1, since it breaks important functionality (the ability to
change font prefs) and is probably just an oversight somewhere in the way the
resizing was set up on that prefs pane.

dang, i cannot seem to repro/see this using 2001.02.05.11 comm verif bits [using
modern, too]. mebbe i need to use a new profile, fwiw...?

You almost certainly need to use a new profile to reproduce this.

[Akkana Peck]

Here are my current font prefs.  I can provide the rest of my prefs.js and
user.js on request.  I still see the problem in the 2/7 build.
user_pref("font.default", "sans-serif");
user_pref("font.min-size.variable.x-western", 14);
user_pref("font.name.monospace.x-western", "misc-fixed-iso8859-1");
user_pref("font.name.serif.x-western", "adobe-utopia-iso8859-1");
user_pref("font.size.fixed.x-western", 14);
user_pref("font.size.variable.x-western", 14);

alas, with a new profile and adding akkana's font prefs to prefs.js still
doesn't exhibit the problem for me. :(

or, perhaps the xul in the Fonts panel needs to be cleaned up? cc'ing ben and
blake there.

jag, have you perchance seen this?

This is annoying, marking nsbeta1+, p3, mozilla0.9, reassigning to mcafee

mcafee sez [over IM] that this should be mozilla0.9.1...

Comment 13

[Viswanath Ramachandran]

as discussed in team meeting, moving all Nav+ team members nsbeta1+ P3 bugs from 
mozilla0.9.1 to mozilla0.9.2. 

Comment 14

[Paul Chen]

nav triage team:

Does this still happen with recent builds? Pushing out to mozilla0.9.3

Comment 15

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

marking wfm since the panel has been rewritten [per bug 28899]. however, if this
is still a problem, do reopen!

mass verification of WorksForMe bugs: to find all bugspam pertaining to this,
set your search string to "IfItWorksForSlappyTheSquirrelThenItWFM".

if you think this particular bug is *still* an open issue, please make sure of
the following before reopening:

a. that it's still a problem with ***recent trunk builds*** on the all
appropriate platform[s]

b. provide clear steps to reproduce (unless a good test case is already in the
bug report), making sure it pertains to the original problem (avoid morphing as
much as possible :)
