* TITLE/SUMMARY [PP] Resize browser window to short heights -> corrupted vertical scroll bar (split out of bug #5548) * STEPS TO REPRODUCE 0) Launch Apprunner 1) Using any web page (I used www.mozilla.org), reduce the height of the browser window to the minimum allowed. * RESULT - What happened The vertical scroll arrow gets replaced with either a horiontal scroll arrow, or two miniature scroll arrows. Sometimes, you may need to shrink the width of the browser window to see it. - What was expected Ultimately, we shouldn't be allowing users to shrink the window on Mac beyond a certain size. It can take a minute to reproduce; for examples, see the screen shots attached --- PICT format to save time, and since anyone trying to fix this will have a Mac. ;) Other Mac apps don't allow this --- when we did the Mac OS 8 Appearance Manager way back in 1996-1997, I don't think any consideration was given to the effects of shrinking a window to the dimensions at which scroll arrows don't fit. Certainly, we didn't test it, as no applications in use invoked that behavior. (It was possible --- I forget how --- within the Finder due to a bug, but that was fixed in 8.5.) * REGRESSION - Occurs On Mac OS Apprunner (1999102211 Mozilla build & 1999102109 Commercial build [Mac OS 8.6]) - Doesn't Occur On Win32 Apprunner (999102208 build [NT 4, Service Pack 5]) Linux Apprunner (1999102208 build [RH 6.0/GNOME]) * CONFIGURATIONS TESTED - [Mac] Beige Power Mac G3 (266 MHz PowerPC 750), 96 MB RAM (VM on; 1 MB of VM used), 1024x768 (Thousands of Colors), Mac OS 8.6 - [Win32] Vectra VL (233 MHz P2), 96 MB RAM, 800x600 (True Color), NT 4.0 SP5. - [Linux] Vectra VL (266 MHz P2), 96 MB RAM. Red Hat Linux 6.0 (GNOME).

I can't reproduce this on my PB3400, 8.6, same build & page. I can get the lower arrow to disappear if I resize to minimal height, then expand width until horizontal scrollbar is gone. reassigning to evaughan as p4 for m14
Eli's bug reproduction clinic is always open if needed; walk-in hours are 9:00 AM - 6:00 M-F. ;)

We currently aren't putting restrictions on window min size. We should. But currenly the scrollbars just dissappear if they get too small to render. When we get a new feature called flexdepth into boxes we will actually be able to make squeeze into tiny little arrows. But a min size on the window would be nice eventually.

Still no minimum size in 20030311 OSX. And 20030306 Win98 exhibits equally bad behavior. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 48798 ***
