702986 - pop-up menus not sized large enough to hold contents

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Attachment: screenshot showing problem

Two different users of my "Send Later 3" Thunderbird add-on have reported that the pop-up menus in my compose window toolbar items are not being sized wide enough for the contents of the menu to be visible. I cannot reproduce this issue. I've attahed an image of the problem sent to me by one of the users. The other is viewable at http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/8126/161120111708.png .

One of the users is using 32-bit Windows Vista with Thunderbird 8.0. The other is using Windows 7 Professional SP1, also with Thunderbird 8.0. Personally, I do not see this problem in Linux, Windows XP, or Windows 7 Enterprise, neither in TB8 nor in TB 11.0a1 (nor did I see it in any of the intervening versions).

Here's example XUL code for one of the pop-up menus, captured with DOM Inspector (it actually has more "menuitem" nodes than I've listed here, but it doesn't seem useful to clutter the bug by including them all):

<menulist xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul" label="12" id="sl3-hourvalue" style="margin: 0px;" sizetopopup="pref" value="12"><menupopup id="sl3-hours"><menuitem label="00" value="0"/></menupopup></menulist>

Also, one of the users the problem first showed up in TB7.

Is this still an issue?

Comment 3

If this is still an issue, it's a totally different bug at this point, since very little if any of the code which was being used to display those menus back when this issue was filed 14 years ago is still in use.
