Platform: Mac, OS: 9.0 (Build: 2000-10-19-08-MN6). Steps to reproduce: 1. Launch Netscape 6. 2. Go to Edit/Preferences/Themes/Modern 3. Go to Edit/Preferences/Smart Browsing Notice the part of "Location Bar autocomplete" is missing. It works fine in classic though. Screen shot will attach.
Just want to modify for this bug. Actually, this error occurs on all three platform, Mac, windows, and Linux (2000-10-19-08-MN6). For Mac and Windows, the part of the "Location Bar autocomplete" is missing in modern skin. It works ok in classic skin (2000-10-19-08-MN6). For Linux only, the part of the "Location Bar autocomplete" is missing in classic skin. It works ok in modern skin (2000-10-19-09-MN6). In order to see the "Location Bar autocomplete", go to Edit/Preferences/Navigator/Smart Browsing. Overall, I combine them into this bug.
Summary: Mac(Modern skin)--part of the "Location bar autocomplet" is missing → (Modern skin)--part of the "Location bar autocomplet" is missing
The problem here is that the pref window is too small for the contents of some panels when in the Modern skin. Sending to Ben, ccing some marketing folks in case they want to see this fixed for rtm.

The issue here is that the smart browsing pref panel has too much stuff in it, which becomes a problem if your fonts are a certain size. This is really a UI design issue, so re-assigning.

Appropriate fixes would include: * putting the addition of domains into its own dialog (invoked by pressing `Add ...') -- with the current UI, users will instinctively press Enter when they've finished typing a domain, and this will close the entire preferences dialog without adding the domain at all; * abolishing the Internet Keywords feature (which is a UI nightmare and does not belong in Mozilla), using the sidebar search panel for the tools which are currently invoked by Internet Keywords; * removing the useless description text from the `Location Bar Autocomplete' box.
Chaning the qa contact on these bugs to me. MPT will be moving to the owner of this component shortly. I would like to thank him for all his hard work as he moves roles in mozilla.org...Yada, Yada, Yada...
