I confirmed this bug on MacOSX10.2.8(BuildID of Mozilla-trunk: 2004030405). I'll take screenshot. I'll create a attachment.

Moz. 1.7x Pref Panel fails to display properly.

It did not reproduce. Mac OS X 10.3.2 Used New Profile Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040305

I did a build (updated from CVS) at 2PM EST and I'm still seeing it.

The checkin of the fix for the other bug was on 03/03/2004. And the other bug duped to this says "Stange thing is the first time I try a new build since 2004030308 it works the first time I try opening preferences but it fails redrawing it the next time I try it." So i think it's a checkin within 1-3 days before this date (also see the other build its mentioned in this bugs, these people were using/testing nightlies).

(In reply to comment #13) This previous comment seems to be "cut&paste" only: ignore it...

With Saturday build for PC linux samething. On first bring up Mozilla I can open Preference Window as many times as I want with no problem. Close Mozilla and reopen Mozilla in a short amount of time and it does not it will not render the Preference Window correct.If I close the session out and wait a while it may or may not on reopening of Mozilla display the screen correct it is a 50/50 gamble. This is a change because before Saturday's Linux build it would be everytime after the first time the Mozilla build would come up the Preference Window would not disply correct.Hope that helps.

I just tested; deleting XUL.mfl does the trick for me too.

There is a better workaround too. Delete XUL.mfl and create new file (text document, or any other), name it XUL.mfl and make it read only. That way, Mozilla won't be able to write and break stuff. This does the trick so far for me at least. I would like to QA this bug, it would be very nice if anyone could put me.

(In reply to comment #16) > I just tested; deleting XUL.mfl does the trick for me too. jrgm: Could you have a look at it ?

this bug is not limited to the preferences window. Many other dialogs are coming up with a bad width....for instance the progress dialog in mail compose after sending a message.

WFM Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040303 with new profile. This build was Mozilla-trunk-2004030305. In comment #1, I confirmed this bug on Mozilla-trunk-2003030405 with new profile. It seemed that this regression occurred between 2004/03/03 and 2004/03/04.

List of checkins between March 3rd and March 4th: http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsquery.cgi?treeid=default&module=all&branch=HEAD&branchtype=match&dir=&file=&filetype=match&who=&whotype=match&sortby=Date&hours=2&date=explicit&mindate=2004%2F03%2F03&maxdate=2004%2F03%2F04&cvsroot=%2Fcvsroot

This could very well be the same as bug 236619 for which i just checked in a fix. The problem affects any style-attributes loaded through fastload. So if the width is specified using something like style="width: 117px" then that could certainly break. The problem is not in the actual loading of the fastload file, but rather in serializing the prototype-document.

Still the problem with Moz 1.7b 2004030708 WinNT4 OrbitRetro Theme. (In reply to comment #0) > Reproducible: Always > Steps to Reproduce: > 1. Launch Moz. 1.7x > 2. Click on "Preferences" in "Mozilla" drop-down menu in toolbar. > 3. Preference Panel will display with its left pane blank. > 4. Click "OK" and panel closes. > 5. Repeat step #2. Panel will not be displayed. For me step 5 works like step 3. It is always displayed like in attachment 142926 [details]. Sometimes I see other dialogs with strange (to small) size like the download progress dialog. But there it works the second time and later during a session. Shouldn't this be a blocker or at least relnote?

Updating: +(F) blocking1.7b=? I'm not using nighlies, so I have not (yet) experienced this bug, but, based on comments, it seems to be a major UI regression.

I tested today's MacOSX build (2004030905), and this problem seemed to be gone. Mozilla displays properly its Preferences panel.

I don't see it either. Markng this bug as fixed since it looks like Jonas's patch did indeed fix it yesterday.

Same thing here on Linux PC with build id 2004030908 no problem. Working normal.

It appears that the problem still exists, at least with the 20040309 Mac version of Moz. Suite 1.7.

can others confirm on the Mac? jonas can you look at this?...

For subsequent downloads the dialog is ok.

Suite 1.7. Did you use the default theme(classic)? In comment #2, I used the default theme(classic). It seemed that you used Okhotska theme. Try the default theme. The last update of Okhotska for Mozilla suite is Jan. 18th, 2004. Perhaps, the current versions of third-party themes don't support for Mozilla-trunk yet. For example, Pinball theme has a few problems on Mozilla-trunk(20040309). When I click "Bookmarks" on personal toolbar, Mozilla displays weird bookmarks.

(In reply to comment #35) > Created an attachment (id=143500) > Same problem with "Classic" Theme: Pref Panel failure >

And we may have a problem.... at least for Mac users....? HOWEVER, with 1.6 I can open/close Prefs and then reopen and everything is OK! (I like to be complete)

Gordon, I realize that this was your bug originally but since it was morphed into the now fixed bug with dialogs (including prefs) being sized incorrectly, I've filed a new bug 237279 for your issue and I'm resolving this one.

Oops, meant WFM
