940452 - Inconsistent line spacing in bookmarks menu

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 969584

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Gian-Carlo Pascutto [:gcp]]

Attachment: inconsistentspacing.png

The bookmarks menu uses a very wide line spacing, much more so than a normal Windows application.

Even if this was a conscious decision, other parts of the bookmarks menu use normal line spacing, making the result quite awkward and inconsistent. See screenshot.

this happened after the decision to use the Australis buttons styling, though we should wait for the flat style (bug 878065) before taking a decision.
I also think retaining the original style would have been a better idea, in this case.

bug 878065 now landed. The difference is probably still there and I think that in-panel UI style consistency trumps submenu UI style consistency.

Madhava, what do you think?

Also note that the bookmark menu from the menu toolbar->bookmarks is completely different, and with a more useful spaceing.

Forward-duping to the bug where the discussion is happening.
