No scrollbar in location bar results

[kilara1988]

I am sorry if this is not the correct place to post about Release Builds.

I just got FF updated to FF 56 and now when i type an url in the locationbar and i have many results i no longer get a scrollbar on the right side of the dropdown window with the results.
It just shows the top 10 results and nothing more.
In FF 55 it had scrollbar to see more results(after the top 10).
Is this a bug or it is by design?And if it is by design is there a pref to bring back the old behavior?

@kilara1988 that's by design, no pref, unfortunately.

I just tried to go back to 55.0.3 to check if it had a scrollbar and take a screenshot,but 55.0.3 had no scrollbar too.
Maybe i haven't noticed it before?When did they remove the scrollbar?

The scrollbar was removed by Bug 1264988

Split from the nightly build thread.

This code in userChrome.css works for me on Linux:

Code: Select all

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

#PopupAutoCompleteRichResult > richlistbox > scrollbox {
  overflow: auto !important;
}

That looks to be something different, no?

Anyhow, is that what FF does!
The make a dropdown that is hugely wasteful, ugly, cover up ~1/2 of my screen.
And then to top it off, they only show 10 results, with no manner to view, scroll to others.

Par for the course, I suppose.
(And I'm sure they can point to metrics that say of the times the dropdown is used, 99% of the time it is the first 3 results that matter, otherwise a user simply does use [the dropdown]. Sure, right!)


@dickvl, .css code not working here either, XP, FF 52.



1. FF 52
2. FF 38
3. SeaMonkey 2.49.1




Appears the .css code shouldn't be needed in FF 45 as it does have scrollbars?
(I hope I'm looking at the right dropdown...)

Some rules to try out here:

It might probably be better to specify the height as 'em' units instead of 'px' to avoid breaking things with font changes if it isn't working without specifying the height.

Code: Select all

#PopupAutoCompleteRichResult > richlistbox > scrollbox {
  overflow: auto !important;
}

#PopupAutoCompleteRichResult > richlistbox {
  max-height: 30em !important;
}
