Hi Philip,
This was first posted here: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... 65#3019865

Here is my repost. I have experienced that Console2 eliminates the resizing function of Searchbar Autosizer (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1172). It leaves a box which is practically impossible to enter text in. After disabling another extension (CleanHide: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3648) which I initially thought was responsible for this, I found that the condition persisted. So I then thought what else had I recently changed, and realized it could be Console2. Upon disabling Console2, I immediately had my searchbar back as it should be. Now, the crazy thing is that when I re-enabled CleanHide, the problem reoccurred. So I disabled it again, and the problem disappeared. I am now keeping both of them disabled.

I am using Searchbar Autosizer 1.3.7 and Console² 0.3.8 with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.5pre) Gecko/20070702 BonEcho/2.0.0.5pre. The autosizer seems to work as designed. The searchbox expands as I type more letters into it. In the second mode of operation as soon as I hit the box it expands to the width I set it to in the Configuration Assistant. Are you sure you didn't accidentally put it into the third setting which is for a fixed width searchbox?

Do you mean the "Revert to default search engine when query is submitted? I don't think so, because it is working now.

I have just disabled the revert feature. It is still working with that setting. I must not understand you.

I used the Configuration Assistant wizard not the advanced options. In the former there are three modes you can select. All three modes work for me. Try this: create a new profile. Install only Console2 and the Searchbar autosizer extensions. Do you still see the problem?

Please wait at least 12 hours for the mozdev mirrors to synchronize before downloading the Testing Version: Console² 0.3.8+ from http://console2.mozdev.org/. Thanks.
Phil


On the Mozdev page, the link says

Testing Version: Console² 0.3.8+

but it links to

console2-0.3.7+.xpi

Is this something to look at, or has it just not pushed out yet? Thanks.

Oh silly me I changed the text but forgot to change the actual link! Here, the next time I make such a mistake you can use this URL to get to the actual download mirrors: http://downloads.mozdev.org/console2/. Everytime you hit this link you'll be sent to a random mirror. Here is a direct link: console2-0.3.8+.xpi. I hope I get it right this time!

Thanks Phil. I see the new attribute in there. Thanks again for being willing to accommodate this.

BTW, on a separate topic, I just noticed this for Minefield and I thought it might impact you (maybe you've seen it already):

Bug 335383 - menu and toolbar accesskeys clash in suiterunner JS console

This one impacts the Error Console's toolbarbutton icons. For Fx2, the CSS selectors in global/console/console.css test the value of the "observes" attribute. For Fx3, broadcasters/observers are not used here, so id's were added to the toolbarbutton elements and the CSS needs to use id selectors.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the heads up. I actually had this in my bookmarks somewhere but I forgot to cc myself to this bug. I certainly need to fix the clashing access keys problem.

However, I will readily admit to be almost totally clueless with css managing mostly by trial and error. So if you could explain how the Console2 toolbarbuttons are affected as it doesn't use <code>chrome://global/skin/console/console.css</code> but the css from it's own skin directory <code>chrome://console2/skin/console-toolbar.css</code>.

I'll check it out.

BTW I'm glad to help with CSS any time. I'll email you with my address.

I don't know if this is what the earlier remarks about Console2 were referring to or not. But this is what I am experiencing with the latest version of Console2.

Notice my extension list in the sidebar. The gray text is actually for my disabled extensions. The text for my enabled extensions is barely visible.

Shingoshi, Your version of NNL probably doesn't have the right rules in it to match the attribute name we finally settled on for Console2. The next NNL version will likely fix that up.

In the mean time, if you know how to do so, you could locate the chrome.manifest associated with Console2 and delete or comment out the last two lines, the ones that say:

Code: Select all

override   chrome://global/content/bindings/richlistbox.xml   chrome://console2/content/global/richlistbox.xml
override   chrome://global/skin/richlistbox.css   chrome://console2/skin/richlistbox.css
