Using recent builds (currently using 2001032809), certain items in the Preferences menu stretch beyond the right side of the window. You can increase the width of the window, but this shouldn't be necessary. The b0rken items are: Navigator: History Bookmarks Smart Browsing -> Location Bar Autocomplete (actually stretches a bit *below* the "allowed" area, instead of to the right) Mail and Newsgroups Message Display This is most critical in the Navigator -> History menu, where certain widgets are actually pushed too far out of the menu to be clicked, and some are only half-visible.
yes, I see this on w2k.

Attached patch Re-wording text so things fit (deleted) — Splinter Review
Fixed the history pane by re-wording some of the text. I think this will read better anyways. Other panes to follow.
hm, i coulda sworn there was a meta bug for these "prefs panels content too wide" --for example, bug 70296. however, i couldn't find one. cc'ing some folx, in case they might know... i'd be happy to make this the meta bug. it'd be great to track these issue as separate/individual bugs [which would block this one] --namely since the panels within the Preferences dialog are owned by many people in several different groups.

sr=ben, but I suggest changing 'Filing Bookmarks' to 'Adding Bookmarks' to sync better with your change to the bookmarks checkbox.
Navigator patch checked in, over to putterman for mailnews part. Adding mailnews to summary.

just checked on Mac OS X with 2001.08.29.05-comm with both modern and classic themes: the contents of the mailnews panels do fit now. i'll vrfy later on 9.1...
testing on mac os 9.1 [emul over os x], 2001.09.04.11-comm: the mailnews pref panels all look fine in modern. however, in classic the Send Format panel still spills beyond the bottom border. i'll go see if there's an existing/open bug for that before reopening this one...
methinks bug 80415 would cover the Send Format panel. vrfying this one; will add screenshot in the other.
