[Bug 274713] Re: After updating Firefox, dialogs open as tiny, empty windows

[Mackenzie Morgan]

** Summary changed:

- firefox opening minimum blank dialoge boxes wirh no content
+ After updating Firefox, dialogs open as tiny, empty windows

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
+ Steps to Reproduce:
+ 1. Start Firefox
+ 2. Install updates, including Firefox updates
+ 3. Try to open a dialog window such as Help -> About
  
- I Have just  updated my system as at 26 Sept 2008 at 0800 GMT.  
-  I cannot give you a screen shot of the about box because of the problem that has arisen.  
+ What happens:
+ A tiny, blank window appears
  
- The problem is that the 'about' dialogue and the 'bookmarks/organise'
- and other dialogues are opening as a small orange and white  rectangle.
- When resized the boxes do not contain any information.   This seems to
- be happening to any and all firefox dialogue boxes.
+ Expected result:
+ Dialog has text and is reasonably sized
  
- Have just tried running profile manager and a new inatance of firefox
- appears with a micro dialogue box - which is empty when resized.
- 
- I have attached 2 screenshots - screenshot-1 is the dialogue box as it
- first appears and screenshot-2 is after I have resized the dialogue box.
- 
- My system is Xbuntu 8.04 and is updated daily.
- desktop is Gnome 2.22.03
- Gnome apt reports the following:
- firefox-3.0  version 3.0.3+build1-nobinonly-Oububtu0.8.04.1
- xulrunner1.9 version 1.9.03+build1-nobinonly-Oububtu0.8.04.1
