[Bug 128932] Re: Google Suggest drop-down list too narrow in Firefox

[Alexander Konovalenko]

Unfortunately my hardware doesn't support any resolutions higher than
1024x768.

And no, having the resolution set to 1024x768 or perhaps even to 800x600
is not a valid reason to truncate useful information on the screen and
not even make horizontal scrolling available. There is plenty of free
pixels on the screen at 1024x768 which can be used by the Suggest drop-
down list (see the screenshot). Perhaps there are some technical
limitations in Firefox or in its widget library that prevent making it
wider. If that is the case, those limitations should be fixed as well.

One way to make the UI look better with a wider Suggest drop-down list
is to dynamically widen the search box when the list is displayed and
shrink the address bar correspondingly. Or at least allow the user to
resize the search box manually.

I reported this issue upstream and linked this bug to the bug in the
upstream Bugzilla.
