[Desktop-packages] [Bug 128932] Re: Google Suggest drop-down list too narrow in Firefox
@Amstrad this is not fixed its the same as it has always been. However there are workarounds such as customising the toolbar. The search and url bars can be placed in different rows. I think this is more of an issue with screen space on a users pc rather than a FireFox problem. If the suggestion to have a wider drop down list than the search box is implemented it would just look really unpolished, I don't think this is a real option. In conclusion as there is a way to get around this and its only a problem with small screens or low resolution, and because the only sugested solution is a hacky looking drop down box I'm questioning whether this is really a bug? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/128932 Title: Google Suggest drop-down list too narrow in Firefox Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Confirmed Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Triaged Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in “firefox-3.0” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox The Google Suggest drop-down list is too narrow by default in Firefox 2.0 (I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.5+1-0ubuntu1 from 7.04 Feisty).

I've just tested this on Ubuntu 11.10 with Firefox 8.0 and the problem is not presente anymore.
