Hi All,

Re: Labels wrap on Firefox/Mac

I spent some time on this problem today and narrowed things down to a
specific problem of bad values being returned from the offsetWidth
property in certain circumstances on Firefox/Mac. I built a test page:
http://simile-widgets.googlecode.com/svn/timeline/trunk/src/webapp/examples/test_example/firefox_mac_test_case.html

And filed an official bug with the Firefox folks:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=458617

The offsetWidth property appears to be about 1% too small. Increasing
it by the larger of [1% of the reported width, 1px]  solves the
problem. Eg a short label of "Test 1" has a reported width of 28px on
FF/Mac and 29px on Safari/Mac. The text wraps in FF. Increasing the
width to 29px stops the wrapping.

I'll add the workaround (for FF/Mac only browsers) to the source
sometime relatively soon.

We'll see what the Firefox folks do with the bug report. If you want
to be notified when the bug is changed, you can add yourself to the
bug's cc list.

Regards,

Larry
