900 - Listbox size overrun for font preferences

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(MozillaClassic Graveyard :: Windows FE, defect, P5)

Description

[Bryce Harrington]

One of the fonts installed on my system is called SPW.  This font consists of
sheet music symbols, like treble cleff, half note, etc. etc.

In the font preferences page, there are a pair of list boxes showing the
different fonts as they actually appear.  For some reason, SPW is listed as a
font, and it appears to be forcing a resize of these controls.  Both listboxes
are increased height-wise, and this causes the top font listbox to slightly
overlap the lower font listbox.

It would look better if the spacing between the two listboxes was doubled, of if
a better filter mechanism could be found to weed symbolic fonts out of the
listing.

An interesting problem, but it involves the "classic" Mozilla codebase.  We're
in the throes of completely replacing the "classic" UI code with all new,
completely different stuff.  You (Bryce) might want to keep an eye on the
problem and let us know if it reappears in the new UI code when that's
available.  But for now, the issue is kind of moot.
