Preferences dialog too small for widgets

[James "Doc" Livingston]

With a freshly installed Flight 1, using /home from my Breezy install, the
preferences window for Firefox is too small. As can be seen in
http://www.ids.org.au/~jrl/ffdp-screen-prefs.png several of the widgets are
partially out of the window. The window can also be resized smaller.

By default my pref windows are now rendering at a size large enough to display the contents of the chrome without clipping any overflow. But the ability to resize the window below the point where all of the preferences can fit with out being clipped is present and is a bug imo. Closing the pref window and repoening through edit > prefs clears out my resizing and configures its size correctly again. Tested on multiple installs at multiple resolutions all with same results. Should I open a different bug to reflect the difference from the original report or is this considered NOTABUG? -mf

I see the same thing in dapper beta; several widgets are slighly clipped. I've changed the default fonts used in gnome (to bold), which is probably part of the cause. Ideally Firefox should cope with that though. (I did test on a fresh account with no changes to the font, in which case it looks nprmal).

Closing this bug as a duplicate of bug #36985 because that bug contains more usefull information, please post further information there.
