Two probs with latest build downloaded 10 am GMT 18/5/1999 1) Dragging the left side of the main frame to the right has the effect of moving a bar across the page instead of shrinking the page. In other words the content of the page remains unchanged and still at full size whilst the frame bar moves across it. 2) Go to a site with rollover button effects. If the page is not in your browser cache you will see broken image signs when you mouse-over a button. Sometimes these disappear as though the browser hasn't loaded the image until a good while after the mouse-over.
I'm Reassigning to Dave, since the 1st point doesn't show up in Viewer. I'm not sure what the 2nd point is. Dave, if you are planning to use framesets for apprunner's main viewport then I or Eric Pollmann needs to fix the bug where streching a frame border and then resizing the viewport uses the original proportions. Please let me know if you are planning to use framesets.

Summary: Error dragging main frame to the right and rollover button error → Constrained boxes should shrink flexible content to fit rather than clipping it.
Yes, framesets are used in apprunner. Yes, the bug you mentioned is occurring, but that isn't what dgabol is reporting. What he's reporting is a problem with boxes that should be fixed. Eric, this has to do with the fact that currently if the toolbars are too long they cause the iframe in navigator.xul to be too wide (since the iframe assume it can be as wide as the toolbar, which is too wide for the window). This will be solved when Eric lands some new box changes that we talked about (namely enabling stuff to shrink smaller than the minimum size it reports by making the item flexible and by constraining the box). Reassigning to Eric and renaming the bug.
We may not be using framesets in apprunner if we can come up with a way to use iframes and boxes to achieve the same effect. slamm is exploring this. Adding him to cc list.

Boxes constrain their children correctly. The child does have the option of refusing to be contrained which is probably what is happending here. Hyatt not sure what to do with this.
