8266 - [PP] bottom scroll arrow is hidden in chromeless browser window

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: XUL, defect, P3)

Description

[Simon Fraser [no longer active]]

If you bring up a chromeless browser window on Mac, it is not possible to access
the lower scroll arrow of the scroll bar, because it is hidden behind the
window's grow box.

Currently, double-clicking on a bookmark in the Bookmarks window opens a
chromeless browser window like this.

Note that on Mac, the window content frame is not rectangular; it has a 15x15
bite taken out of the lower right hand corner for the grow box. It would seem
that we need some platform-specific XUL and/or CSS to deal with this.

Note that you have to make the window wide enough so that the horizontal scroll
bar is hidden for this problem to show up. When the horiz scroll bar is present,
everything is pixel perfect.

Scrollbars will be replace by GFX ones in m8 this should fix this problem

Comment 3

why would a gfx scrollbar not have this same problem?

Comment 4

[Eric Vaughan]

this will get fixed when gfx scrollbars land in m9

Comment 5

[Eric Vaughan]

I'd still like to hear why gfx scrollbars will magically fix this problem.

what's the status on this one? Do we need some "corner view" mechanism on boxes?
maybe with some platform css and a new property?

upping the priority and placing on the beta list.

we can probably fix this by makeing a pseudo element that held the size of the
grow box and then make the tree control and anyone else look for this pseudo
element.

tree:-moz-grow-box {
   width: 10px;
   height: 10px;
}

Is this still a problem? I don't know how to reproduce this now that bookmarks
bring up a chromed browser window.

I believe it still is; the bookmarks window has a grow box, right? that obscures
the lower scroll bar arrow.

yes, this is still a problem(1999110309). Reproduce by selecting Bookmarks|Manage Bookmarks
as that window itself is a chromeless window. It also uses a gfx scrollbar - which does
not affect the problem.

fixed by adding a 16px high status bar to the bookmarks window. i'm sure we can
find something cool to do with this area.

i know this doesn't _really_ fix this problem, but it's the best (and easiest)
short term fix. maybe we should address this on a case by case basis since there
is no real easy solution.
