96538 - 'Download or Execute' MIME dialog UI unusable for very long source locations

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 85173

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[guanxi]

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010801
BuildID:    2001080110

I tried to download a zip file, and file's the source location had an extremely
long name.  I tried a few times from the same page, and got the same results
every time:

Mozilla displayed this dialog:
You have chosen to download a file of type: "WinZip File" 
       [application/x-zip-compressed] from
http://spf.digitalriver.com/v2.0-bin/ec_drdown.pl/OID= . . . [very long]
[etc.]

The problems:
  a)  The dialog box, stretching to fit the digitalriver.com location address in
the second line, was displayed slightly wider than my screen (1024 pixels wide
if it matters).
  b)  The digitalriver.com location address was cut off at the right edge of the
dialog box
  c)  These buttons were missing, I presume because they are aligned with the
right edge of the dialog box:
        - Choose
        - OK
        - Cancel
  d)  If I'm right about the cause of c), above, it means Mozilla basically cut
off the right end of the dialog box.

The dialog responded correctly to ESC (Cancel) and ENTER (OK) on my keyboard.


Reproducing exactly what I did is a bit of a challange, since I had to pay for
the privilege of downloading the software.  Perhaps someone can provide a URL
with a similarly long address, or convince Digital River to allow free testing.
 Here's what I did:

1.   Go to
http://www.digitalriver.com/dr/v2/ec_Main.Entry?SP=10007&SID=21415&CID=0&CUR=840
2.   Click "Place Secure Order" (it should be SimCity Classic for the PalmOS,
$29.95).
3.   If someone actually wants to buy it, you enter your payment info here and
click "Submit" at the bottom (the game worked pretty well in 15 min. of testing).
4.   The first download screen didn't work for me:  It continually reloaded and
never quite completed (another bug?).  I clicked the link labled, 'if you're
having problems, use this http download'.
5.   Click the download button on the http download page, and you should see the
problem dialog box.


The same thing happened every time I tried.  I can't test with a nightly build
without paying Digital River again.
