build id: 9199052408 platform: red hat linux 5.2 to reproduce: select open from the file menu. result: the dialog box that is presented is way too huge; it's something like six times as tall as need be.

reassign it to don for later fixing. cc german to make sure the spec of dialog box also covers linux

Peter, your folks do the file open dialog, right?

reassigning to sdagley

We're bringing up the standard GTK file selection dialog without specifying any particular size (I don't even know if there's a version that takes a parameter for the dialog dimensions). Looking at the file open and save dialogs on akkana's system the dialogs don't appear to be excessively large.

Using the 1999061508 build on my Linux machine, the dialog displayed is still incredibly huge. The content takes up no more than 20 per cent of the available space. Reopening. (Is there more info I can give you that would help you?)

This is not a problem with the file picker dialog, it's a problem with the intermediate dialog that allows you to either type in a URL to open or pick a file. Reassigning to Bill Law whom I believe added this feature.

Bill, didn't you fix this already?

The width and height are apparently being specificied properly via attributes on the <window> tag in openLocation.xul. I'm resetting the component to "XP Toolkit/Widgets." I think it's a gtk thing, since this works OK on Windows and Mac.

i can't see this happening. my work would not have effected this as the gtk file selection dialog is automagically sized in gtk and doesn't take any kind of size specifications for this.

intrinsic sizing issues. now fixed.

chris or german, what do you think? it's sort of clunky, but definitely not as big as it used to be. (perhaps now a xul issue, not xptoolkits.)

pavlov showed me the dialog after he checked in his changes, and it's acceptable now (not ideal, but acceptable). i'm going ahead and marking this one as verified fixed.

Hello, I see this bug is opened since 1999, but actually I have it :P When I put my mouse en the "+" tab, the black infobox is displayed very big (but the text "Open a new tab" has the right size, only the container is too big). Tell me if you want a screenshot, it's not a big issue but it's ugly. And after that, I saw that it's exactly the same issue with the infobox of the "refresh icon" and the "stop loading icon" (which replace the refresh icon when clicked). The About of my Firefox indicates "25.0" + "Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical -1.0" and I'm running under Ubuntu 13.10 (32 bits). Bye, Nicolas
