From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: Changing text size in Netscape 7 increases drop down text nicely but the window does not increase in size. So you cannot see the big text. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. From Netscape menu, select View, then Text Zoom 200%. 2. In back-end Folder Browser, look at the Create new: window size. 3. Actual Results: Cannot read window contents. Expected Results: Window is big enough to show all of the letters. Additional info:
Automatica resizing of browser windows is not something well behaved applications should be doing. For a start the user can quite easily resize it manually as required & they are in by far the best position to do it, since they can visually see when it is the correct size. At best we could guess at what a resonable size might be to display all content, but more often than not it would be wrong, since there are so many variables to consider & thus automatically resizing would just annoy users.
Created attachment 98454 [details] screen shot of the Create new: window It is certainly possible I am simply unaware of how to resize it manually. But I wonder, are we talking about the same thing? Here is a picture of the "window" I mean.
