90162 - Browser has no scrollbars when Quicktime loads a TIFF file larger than the current window

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Jacob Kjome]

Using build 2001071004 on Win2k (SP2) with Quicktime 5.02 plugin

Normally, Mozilla doesn't support the loading of TIFF files ( bug 88692
discussed this ), but with the quicktime plugin installed and having its setting
set to handle the image/tiff mime type, Quicktime successfully loads TIFF images.

However, Mozilla doesn't seem to recognize the space being taken up by the
plugin.  If the plugin is larger than than the current window, Mozilla still
won't display scrollbars to allow the viewing of the whole image.

Steps to reproduce:
1. load:  http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=41313
2. This image is pretty huge.  Do some resizing of the browser window see this.
3. Notice that Mozilla *never* displays scrollbars so that you can see the
entire image within the context of the plugin.

Actual: no scrollbars even when content inside plugin is larger than the window

Expected: scrollbars should show up when content inside plugin is larger than
the window

Just a couple side notes:

1. You may noice that the quicktime plugin has a gray background.  This is
convered by bug 88995.

2. If you just click on the testcase link without opening it in a new window and
you  have a second browser open, Quicktime and the TIFF image are loaded in the
other open browser window rather than the current one as I would expect.  Not
sure if this is a known bug, or if it is expected behavior.  I'll leave that to
someone else to decide.

Something weird is here. On attempt to load a tiff file I see multiple browser 
windows appearing and it is really hard to stop them growing.

Andrei,

You are seeing bug 88692 which is fixed in today's builds.

Download the latest nightly and you will see this fixed.  After that, get the 
Quicktime 5.02 (and I really do mean 5.02 or newer...older plugins had 
problems) plugin and try the testcase out.

Hm... I applied the patch from bug 88692 to my two days old trunk build and got 
QT 5.02, but still see those multiple windows. I am using NT. Does it mean 88692 
is not fixed for Windows and should be reopened or that patch is not enough and 
I have to do something else?

Hmmm.... maybe I'm not experiencing the problem because I set Quicktime to 
handle the image/tiff mime type thus bypassing Mozilla's bug with handling (or 
not handling, in this case) TIFF files.

Make sure you open the Quicktime applet in the control panel ( I assume you are 
using windows????) and choose the "Browser Plug-in" option from the combo-box.  
Now click the "MIME Settings..." button.  Click the plus sign ("+") on the 
images tree.  Make sure that the box next to "TIFF image file" has an "x" in 
it.  Now just hit "Ok".

Make sure you have all the required plugin files in you Mozilla plugins 
folder.  Now open the testcase.  Quicktime should run and load the TIFF file 
and you shouldn't be experiencing the multiple windows bug and you will now see 
the lack of scrollbars behavior that I reported.

You might want to mention that the fix from bug 88692 doesn't seem to work for 
you.  Maybe they didn't entirely fix it???

Looks like I have everything you mentioned. In my Mozilla plugins folder I have 
five numbered dll's with npqtplugin*.dll name style, and yes, tiff option is 
checked in the QT control center (or whatever it's called).

Full-page plugins will be completely changing soon to be more like embeded
plugins. This bug will probably be fixed with that.

I'm more concerned about the repeating windows, however.

I should have removed component.reg after applying the patch. Multiple windows 
thing looks fixed then.

Tiff file is loaded and there is no scrollbars, but I don't see any problems 
with that: the picture is fully visible and if I try to make the window smaller 
it scales down, so no scrollbars actually needed.

Yep, I think Andrei is right.  It just seemed like I couldn't see the full 
picture.  This might have to be resolved as invalid.
