94572 - Mozilla doesn't handle font resizing well

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 99752

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[mozbug1]

Go to http://www.xtenit.com and hit <cntrl +>  The links in the lefthand frame
are jumbled together and the area to click on doesn't correspond to there the
new place the text is.  This isn't the only place where the problem is.  I have
seen it many places.  Dmoz seems to work fine, but our sites (xtenit.com,
targabot.com) don't. http://www.villagevoice.com/ also has this problem,
slashdot doesn't.  On quote.com the text doesn't run all over itself but it does
run over some graphics on the right.

There is also the problem of frames.  When you go to a page with frames after
you have already increased the font size, the font size goes back to normal. 
But if you hit <cntrl +> once the font size grows one setting past what it was
before.  If you bring down the view menu after you have gone to the page with
frames it will show the old percentage value it was at, but display the actual
page in %100 font.

Also as fonts in a drop down menu grows, the drop down box does not and the text
 gets cut off.  See http://www.altavista.com/ for an example, or even this
bugzilla page.

This is *not* a dup of 54504.  That bug refers to the <select> element, this bug
is a more general layout problem.

[S. Malling]

well, it sure is a dup of this one (among others)
