well, ask, and we shall let you either know about its already known bug 
issue, and hopefully we can give a bug # for your issue.  If its site 
related, post it here.. and ask also if it seem like mozilla is just not 
rendering like you think it should.  And then if something you saw in a 
build that worked in yesterday's nightly and not today's post the build 
id and your platform/OS and we shall see what to make of it.  Maybe file 
a bug or find one that is reported today, and again post a bug # if 
possible.

True, true.  I am new to this moz. thing so I was not sure what to
do/say and where.

I was wondering if I was the only one experiencing these, and if I
should say anything about them or not.  Pointless bugs in bugtracker
are a real annoyance I would assume.  And since I did not see any
*really* clear guidelines, I wasn't sure what I should say or not say.

Newsgroups seemed like a better place to ask these, see if they were
valid and if they were recognized and going to be looked into at a
later date.  

OT, but I have experienced a number of non-reproducible bugs :(  One I
posted, but the others I have held off on.

Thanks!  Guess it's just what yer used to.  I looked in the menu and
that was the shortcut key listed :) 

Ctrl-L works just fine, but I think it would be nice if it were ctrl-o
(like in IE) so I don't have to learn a different keystroke.  Maybe
that's heresey, but why not use what most ppl are used to? And
considering ctrl-o opens a file, which is a bit odd.

Ctrl+shift+L opens the advanced panel, if you only want to type a web
address, you should type Ctrl+L.

I find this annoying as well. I think the problem is that the table code 
doesn't make allowances for the vertical scroll bar.





Simple things (visual, usability bugs) ?

2001-11-26 Thread Andrew Backer

list of locations that match (As it should).  The problem is that this
list will expand horizontally to take up the entire screen width based
on the length of the url.  This is very unsightly and annoying, what
with the popping back and forth of the width, etc.

2.  In the list boxes inside preferences (those with 2
colums), the grid seperating the data cells does not match up with the
header cells.  The column divider is offset to the left by a few
pixels.

*3.  WHY! Why Ctrl-Sift-L to open a web location, and ctrl-o
to open a normal file?  I can't think of one time *ever* that I have
wanted to open a file from inside mozilla/ie/opera/etc... but about 20
times a browsing session i would like to ctrl-o->www.nothing.com !  

Are these worth reporting as bugs?  Do they happen to anyone
else?  I am on Win2k.

Thanks,
Andrew BAcker
