88716 - Text doesn't fit in certificate window with "large fonts"

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Security: UI, defect, P3)

Description

[Johannes Schmid]

When navigating to a page (https) of which the certificate was not signed by a
CA accepted by Mozilla, the "Unknown CA" dialogue pops up.

If you have set up Windows 98/NT to use "large fonts", the dialogue window is
too small to see the "OK/Cancel/Help" buttons below the "View Certificate"
button, so you actually can't click on the OK button (you can still do it by
keyboard).

It's even worse with the popup that opens when you want to install a new CA file
(mime type "application/x-x509-ca-cert"). On this popup, the "OK/Cancel/Help"
buttons are missing, too, and I even failed in navigating to the OK button using
the keyboard.

It is really annoying having to switch to "small fonts" (and rebooting) just to
fill in Mozilla's popup dialogues. If you can't/won't fix it, it would be OK if
you could just add a scroll bar if a popup's content doesn't fit in the popup
window.

<q class="ot">fwiw it is possible to switch from small fonts to large fonts w/o 
a reboot, it requires using the quickres indicator. however you'll probably 
need to restart moz.  basically you show the indicator, switch font res, say no 
to the reboot. use the systray item to switch resolutions/colordepth, the font 
change is recognized.  switch the resolution back (if necessary) and you'll 
still have the new font size.</q>

Confirming that when accepting a new CA, pressing enter does not activate the OK 
button. http://junruh.mcom.com/sstests/hardobject.cacert
