Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
I want to add a bookmark, open the bookmark menu, select 'add bookmark' (Lesezeichen hinzufügen [de_DE]) and where in former times a window opened a very much too small window opens.
And isn't resizeable. Why?
I liked to take a screenshot, but it vanisches when I hit something else. Why? To annoy me? What's wrong with resizeable dialogs? You may open it as far as you like.
You could use an unresizeable window if you use this algorithm (pseudocode):
y = bookmark.size * fontheight < height ? bookmark.size * fontheight : Desktop.getHeight
This way you may resize the window so that it will not be bigger than it needs to be, and not bigger than the Desktop.
When you like to add something to the bookmarks, there is much sense in concentrating on that task, and to give the user as much information as possible - not to restrict the user, as if you like to discourage the user from using the bookmarks.
