96488 - [size] Preferences window need to be bigger

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[Yuying Long]

Build: N6.1 RTM Macintosh and Linux Japanese build.

If you go View | Preferences, you will find the preferences window is not big
enough, and Japanese string has been cut-off in many items dialog window - I'll
attach screen shot later.  Although this window can be resized, but it will give
user bad first impression.  And l10n team can not change the window size for
Japanese build.  

We don't see it on Windows though.

Please change component if it is not belongs to preferences.

Re-assigning to ben, who is responsible for shrinking this (for good reasons).
Y'all can now argue whose reasons are better...

The preferences window size is localizable. Edit the size of the dialog in
"pref.dtd" for your language only, if you find it needs to be larger. 

marking INVALID.

I'm not contesting this, I just need to know how to do it. There is no "height"
entity defined in prefs.dtd. Please explain what needs to be done or point to
documentation.

This bug has been fixed.

We actually can change the windows size by modifying the data in file pref.dtd 
<!ENTITY  prefWindow.size             "width: 52em; height: 41em;">

Since the same file used for different platforms, we need to resize in windows 
build in localization.

Marked it as fixed.
