The input field is displaying only upper half when Firefox isn't in full screen

[Yimga Yimga Salathiel Genèse]

As I' writing my plug-in, I use console to debug & see how my code is working. I may write some code the console to make sure of how a function is working.

But two days ago, I wonder I cannot see well the content of my command in the developer console. Just the upper half is visible. The lower half being hidden due to ... end of window boundary.

Just before I submitted this bug, I switched to full screen mode: what my surprise to see my console fully displayed. It even went up about 10px... and as I'm writing, I see the URL bar & add-ons of the same line displayed only lower half because of top window boundary.

Thanks in advance.

Yimga,

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Presumably this problem was a one time occurrence and/or is no longer an issue? Can this bug report now be closed?

If we do not hear from you the bug report will close itself in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.

Hi Mr Paul WHITE,

I vaguely remember that I reported this bug. I see it dates back to 2016.
In those days, I used to work on an HP ProBook 4540s (just as included in
the bug report)... But a very long story have I gone through ever since.

*I'm sorry I cannot tell you more about that bug.* The machine spoiled, I
sold it, had no PC for a while, worked on another all-in-one SAMSUNG at the
office for a year and now have myself another laptop - HP EliteBook 8470p.
I'm still using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and am waiting for convenience packages
which have been announced for end July 2018 to upgrade to 18.04. *But I
have not experience that bug on this machine nor I did on other machines I
worked on since.* I'm sorry I cannot help you reproduce the bug.

Kind regards,
Salathiel Genèse YIMGA YIMGA.

Thanks you for your reply.

As the cause of the bug was never confirmed I'll close this report by marking it as "Invalid".
