71579 - GTK widgets do not resize with text

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect, P2)

Description

[Moses Lei]

GTK native widgets do not change size on text resize, and the text inside them
does not change size either.

Note that if a native widget in question is off the screen when the resize
occurs, you can scroll up to it after the resize and see that the font is
correct. The widget is still the same size as before, though, and was not
resized to accomodate the text.

To reproduce:

Go to the top of this or any other bug report that has cc addresses. Watch the
cc: box carefully.

1. Change your text size to 200%.
   - the widget still uses the same size font, and is still the same dimensions
as before.

2. Change back to 100%.

3. Scroll so that the cc box is off the screen.

4. Change text size to 200%.

5. Scroll back up to see the cc box.
   - the widget is now using the new size font, but the box itself is still the
same size as before (i.e. too small).

I'm seeing this with build 2001-03-12-05 on Linux.  Make sure you use a
multi-line <select>.  A single-line <select> seems to resize properly...

Those aren't native, they are gfx.  ->html form controls

Attachment: Screenshot of the listbox I'm talking about. The scrollbar is GTK at least, it seems native... (but i might just be wrong)

I am seeing something very similar on 2001041704 on WinNT.  Changing the text
size does not affect the control height of single line <selects>.  The text
inside the control changes correctly, but the control does not resize to
accomidate the larger/smaller text.  Clicking refresh on the page fixes the problem.

Do I need to file this as a seperate bug?  My case fits the summary, but the
discussion is about multi-line <selects>.

Is there a tracking bug for View->Text-Size?

Might be a dup of bug 47275, `Text Size' should also change size of widgets in 
document.

Ths single-line <select> issue is a different bug.

This bug, as initially reported, is worksforme with linux trunk build 2003-11-08-05.
