AutoFitTextAreaItem Regression

[stonebranch2]

Hi Isomorphic,

After upgrading from "v10.1p_2017-08-10/Pro Deployment (built 2017-08-10)" to "v12.0p_2018-08-28/Pro Deployment (built 2018-08-28)" there appears to be regression with AutoFitTextAreaItem using FirefoxESR 24.8.1.

The text is being clipped, as shown below.

v10.1 Firefox ESR 24.8.1

v12.0p Firefox ESR 24.8.1


v12.0p Internet Explorer 11

v12.0p Chrome 68.0.3440.106

Regards

Can we reproduce this with an unmodified framework skin? If so, which one?

Can you reproduce this on any supported version of Firefox? As of the end of this month, Firefox ESR 24.x will have been end-of-lifed for 4 years.

You should be able to reproduce it with Enterprise skin.

We tried it with the following newer releases of FF ESR, and were not able to reproduce it.

ESR 45.9.0, ESR 52.2.1, and ESR 60.2.0

OK, we are not currently planning to address the issue in that long since end-of-lifed Firefox ESR. It's likely an old browser bug with a tricky workaround required, and we can't imagine that even a single end user will see the issue.

Understood.
Thank you

If your motive for using FF24ESR is using GWT "Classic" DevMode, you may wish to review the "Development modes in GWT" overview in the SGWT Debugging Help Topic.. As noted there, IE11 is still under support from Microsoft and seems to have better support for Classic DevMode.than FF24ESR.

Hi Isomorphic,
Thanks for your input, however, I am no longer using FF24ESR at this time, so I am fine. I happened to spot the change in behaviour and wanted to report it in case it was more widespread, which wasn't the case, so all is good.
