Description Abhishek Mishra 2009-03-07 07:04:13 UTC 
Hi,
I'm using Firefox 3.0.3 on Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit Intrepid Ibex
and... I came around this -
http://i41.tinypic.com/2q1auld.png

Should the width of 'select file' dialog box used for uploading files, depend on the width of 'list of file-types' ? This surely makes it fill up my screen whereas it would've been more comfortable if "file-type" box would show a trimmed summary and on dropping it down, the whole list of filtered types would appear, making the "Select File" dialog little less wider and comfortable.

I'm very new to all this, so I'm not sure if I should report this under gnome or firefox.

Thanks

Filters are being ellipsized here. Not sure what you are seeing...

Flickr windows import on Win XP

We are seeing a windows longer that the screen because of the long file type enumeration. I think attachment 1 [details] show it clearly.
For instance, I'll attach of how Windows XP display the same windows.
