Additional, some windows like Download-manager should have a minimum-size (a size which is the minimum to which user can size that window, because smaller sizes would hide elements in that window!) This looks much more professional. Reproducible: Always
(In reply to comment #0) > image properties dialog and other dialogs should have a fixed border. What do you mean, have a fixed size ?
(In reply to comment #1) > (In reply to comment #0) > > image properties dialog and other dialogs should have a fixed border. > What do you mean, have a fixed size ? Border is fixed - window can't be changed in size. In some cases, it's not necessary to change size - because the content isn't bigger. I hope, you understand me :)

I hope, you understand me :) You can change it, it's just not that obvious. Put your mouse in the bottomleft corner , leftclick and drag.
> You can change it, it's just not that obvious. > Put your mouse in the bottomleft corner , leftclick and drag. Yes, I know that I can change it. But I don't want to change it, because it is not necessary in some cases. So, border should be "undragable" in these cases. But I think, you guys will do this in next weeks without this bug-report

I'm not sure why, you can do no harm with it
(In reply to comment #8) > I'm not sure why, you can do no harm with it these small windows make no sense and don't look very well... :-(
*** Bug 307861 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
image properties dialog should be resizable so that the user can see long URL/alt text change summary from "fixed border of image properties dialog, minimum-size for other windows"
Summary: fixed border of image properties dialog, minimum-size for other windows → resizable dialogs/windows should have minimum size/dimension

Ever confirmed: true
any news about this enhancement ?
If anything, this would improve platform integration on GTK. Every other GTK program has a minimum size which arises naturally from the contents and layout of its widgets, ensuring that nothing is ever cut off or hidden.
while looking for a solution to this, I found http://www.mozdev.org/pipermail/project_owners/2005-November/006357.html hopefully that helps the next guy looking for a solution. neil, should we make this a toolkit bug?
additionally, http://www.mozdev.org/pipermail/project_owners/2005-November/006368.html (thanks to brian king and Philip Chee for their solutions.)
Depends on: 357725
No longer depends on: 74940
The feature to allow dialogs to do this has been implemented (see bug 357725), and the image properties and downloads windows have gone, so marking as INVALID. Please file new bugs if there are specific dialogs that are still problematic, and reference bug 357725. Thanks!
