95052 - [DUP?]text cut off in drop-down menu on webelements.com

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[Niels Aufbau]

Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.webelements.com/.
2. Click on sulfur (the 16th element).
3. Look at the drop-down menu just under the big yellow "Sulphur".
Actual result: the bottom of the text in the menu is cut off and not visible.

Expected result: the text should be smaller (like it is in the expanded menu),
or the collapsed menu should be large enough to hold the larger text.

worksforme linux build 2001-08-12-06.  Windows-only?

WFM 2001081108 in Win98SE, Win98, and Win95.

Comment 3

[Niels Aufbau]

Doesn't work for me on build 2001081303 (still on Win98).  For what it's worth,
I was using build 2001080904 before.

The problem is the css specifies "FONT-SIZE: smaller" which the options do
inherit and the select itself sizes uses that font, but the text display does
not inherit the style for some reason.

I think this may be a dup.

I have this problem too, on Windows 2000 with 1.2beta.  I don't see any
drop-down at the given URL, but it happens at http://www.netbank.com/login.htm .
 This seemed to have been fixed in 1.1.x and returned in 1.2.

Is this still an issue?

Attachment: testcase

Comment 8

Jesse, that testcase worksforme with a current linux build (both with and
without a minimum font size set).  Are you seeing a problem with it?

Comment 9

[Jesse Ruderman]

Yes, I am seeing the same problem the reporter saw: the bottom of the text is
cut off.

OK, sounds like this is indeed Windows-only -- I don't see a problem on Linux....

WFM, SeaMonkey 2006-08-09-01 trunk on Linux
WFM, SeaMonkey 2006-08-09-10 trunk on Windows XPSP2
WFM, SeaMonkey 2006-08-09-06 trunk on MacOSX
I tried both with/without a minimal font size in Preferences.

Jesse, do you still see this?

The last post confirming the problem was five years ago. On current trunk build Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20090321 Minefield/3.6a1pre, I do not see the problem occurring. The text is visible. 

Confirming testcase works correctly. 

This must have been fixed at some point. 

Consequently, resolving WFM.
