This bug is an offshoot of bug 24129.  All of the major problems reported in
that bug report have been fixed but these few minor anoyances remain.  Seems
like they are all related to the pref panel UI


SIGNON VIEWER AND THE PREFERENCE PANEL

1. Press view-signons from pref panel (edit/pref/wallet) and button jumps to
   a new location.

2. Press view-signons from this new location and the viewer comes up fine.
   Close the viewer.
   The rectangle around "single signon" on the pref panel is now distorted.
   However if you move some other window over it and then return to the
     preference window, the distortion is gone.

WALLET EDITOR AND THE PREFERENCE PANEL

1. Press view-wallet-entries from pref panel.  The viewer comes up but the
     window that it is in is much too large.  Furthermore the viewer is only
     in a portion of that window and that portion is much too thin.

COOKIE VIEWER AND THE PREFERENCE PANEL

1. Press view-stored-cookies from pref panel.  Viewer comes up but the
     rectangle on the pref panel around cookies suddenly became larger.

How can you release a beta with a preference panel that contains a jumping 
button (the view signons dialog)?  I strongly urge you to reconsider this for 
M14.  Doesn't sound like the changes should be difficult to do.

Oops, I just realized that I'm supposed to be adding the [beta1] notation to the 
keywords field and not the summary line.  Correcting this.

Per today's PDT mtg, setting to PDT-.  It is our understanding that 
wallet/single sign on is not in for beta.  Plus, this is an annoyance. 
Whiteboard: [PDT-]
Removing PDT- designation for further consideration.

There seems to be some confusion here.  It's my understanding from dp and from 
jar that single signon is in for the beta.

Furthermore, even if single-signon were out, this bug is is more than an 
anoyance -- it's an embarassement.  There's a humorous program being floating 
around which displays a button called "press-me".  Every time you press it it 
jumps to a new location on the screen.  Very funny, also very silly.  But that 
is exactly what this bug is doing.  Go to the pref panel and press the 
view-signons button and it jumps to a new location forcing you to run after it 
and press it again.

this is related to fieldsets. here's the bug:

This is not mine (unless some XPToolkithead finds I've written horribly bad XUL 
and can tell me how to fix it ;)

I don't believe that we would really hold the beta for this, but under protest 
I'm reassigning to evaughan as p3 for m14. Eric, it sounds like this should be 
broken out into multiple bugs, please work with Morse and Sairuh to ensure that 
we have one defect per bug report.

You seem to have forgotten about the cookie glitch.  The cookie button no longer
cries 'Chase Me' after being touched up but the etched border surrounding the
controls drops a bit, making the box larger.
As of tonights build this bug became worse.  Now the jumping button trick is 
being played not only by the signon viewer but by the cookie viewer and the 
wallet editor as well.
I currenly have fixes for these. It involves a new tag called <titledbox> its 
like a fieldset but xul based. I'm currently fixing up the preferences. Hope no 
one minds...

these are all fixed. Currently testing on all platforms will checkin soon.

With the changes that were checked in today, all the symptoms reported here are 
now gone.  Excellent job.  I'll leave it to evaughan to have the honor of 
closing out this report.
All fixed. Buttons should not shift. Although I do think the width of the prefs 
dialog should be larger by default or have scrollbars or something.
