Details

See bug 41114.  I developed a work-around for that one by removing the flex 
attribute from the div tag.  But I didn't fix the more general problem which is 
why the flex attribute caused clipping of the buttons in the first place.  So 
I'm opening this report for the more general problem.

To reproduce, you first need to replace the flex=100% in the div tag of 
selectUser.xul.  Then follow the steps in bug 41114.

1) we do not generally allow html elements in our dialogs unless absolutely 
necessary (e.g. for <A> links)
2) divs, being HTML elements, are not subject to the same layout model as box, 
and flex is meaningless. furthermore content inside a div will be layed out in a 
HTML context.
