96849 - full scrollbox shows scrollbar widget improperly

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect, P4)

Description

[Jeremy M. Dolan]

Go to m-w.com and search for 'dub'. It returns 6 possibilities, in a box 6 lines
high. The scrollbar widget looks as if there are many more (the slider is very
small) when in fact there are none. Searching for something with 7 entries
('in'), the scrollbar displays as it should.

Er, the slider isn't very small; there is none and the scrollbar is disabled.
That's what should happen if you have a "<select size=6>" and 6 or fewer 
child <option> elements.

[John Morrison]

Although, yes, IE implements this as "if 6 or less, then allocate space for the 
scrollbar, but don't draw it". Chaque un a son gout.

Er... on linux 0.9.3 i'm pretty sure that's a scrollbar with a tiny slider I'm
looking at. Dont have time to do a screenshot tonight/tomarrow, but I'm quite
sure that's a scrollbar I'm looking at. I've seen this elsewhere in the past, too.

Can someone V with linux 0.9.3 and compare that to current linux builds? could
have been fixed, I suppose.

.

Comment 5

[John Morrison]

Um, yeah. That is a small scrollbar thumb with the gtk scrollbar on Linux.
It shouldn't really be there. 

-> HTML Form Controls.

(Sorry, I didn't do the three platform check before I marked this invalid.)

Comment 6

[John Morrison]

Attachment: simple test case (plus option to append more elements to select)

Comment 7

[Jeremy M. Dolan]

Shows another bug as well...

when a <select> receives an appendChild, it should redraw its scrollbar.

Comment 8

[Jeremy M. Dolan]

better URL, under Sizing Tests, the last two should have no scrollbar, or a
scrollbar that consumes the entire slider groove thing.

Comment 9

[R.K.Aa.]

dup of bug 45731? (there's also bug 53803 - looks like a dup)

Comment 10

[Martijn Wargers (dead)]

Is this still an issue? The bugs which probably were the same (mentioned in
comment 9) are fixed.

Comment 11

[Jeremy M. Dolan]

yes. seems fixed now.

Comment 12

[Jason Bassford]

No specific bug / patch referenced as the fix.
