Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Toolkit :: Autocomplete, defect)

Description

[Kevin Cox [@kevincox:matrix.org]]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:13.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/13.0.1
Build ID: 20120616002110

Steps to reproduce:

var sc = document.getElementById("search-container");
var w = sc.width;
sc.width = 0;
sc.boxObject.width; // I'm amusing this causes it to render.
sc.width = w;


Actual results:

This causes the autocomplete popup to move to the end of the searchbar on Windows. (Works fine on Linux).


Expected results:

The popup should remain in the proper place.

I just wanted to provide some additional feedback if it helps.  I also have this issue on 2.0.5, FF 14.0.1, Win7 x64.

I have SA setup as a search button, click on it to expand the search box to a fixed size (400) with a fixed suggestion size (400) as well.  After clicking the search box and type my first character ("1" in this case), everything looks good.  (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/855/8232012115133am.png/)  

As soon as I type the 2nd character, the suggestion box left justifies under the magnifying glass and stays there until the search clears and this process repeats. (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/515/8232012115210am.png/)
