Bug 12710 – REGRESSION: Buttons on Yahoo! Mail search results page set line-height too large

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Evangelism

[David Kilzer (:ddkilzer)]

Summary:

Delete, Spam, Mark and Move buttons are ginormous (humorously large) on Yahoo! Mail search results page.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Safari/WebKit.
2. Log into URL:  http://mail.yahoo.com/
3. Search for mail.

Expected results:

Delete, Spam, Mark and Move buttons should be the same size they are when viewing the Inbox.

Actual results:

Delete, Spam, Mark and Move buttons are ginormous.

Regression:

This is a regression from shipping Safari 2.0.4 (419.3) on Mac OS X 10.4.8 (8L127).  Tested with a local debug build of WebKit r19497 with the aforementioned software.

Test case

[David Kilzer (:ddkilzer)]

Opening the test case (Attachment 13125 [details]) in Firefox 2.0.0.1, the line-height on the button is ignored.

In ToT WebKit r19565, Opera 9.10 and MSIE 6.0, the line-height on the button is not ignored and the button renders larger than it needs to be.

Thus, this is an evangelism issue.  This style rule needs to be adjusted for ToT WebKit:

div.taskbar button.button {
    line-height:2.5em;
}

The rule may be found in this file:

[David Kilzer (:ddkilzer)]

In shipping Safari 2.0.4 (419.3) on Mac OS X 10.4.8 (8N1037), the test case (Attachment 13125 [details]) button renders with a line height, but the actual search results page on Yahoo! Mail doesn't have the larger buttons.

The only conclusion I can come to is that either shipping Safari gets different styles, or the styles don't apply the same way as ToT WebKit.

I've tested the reported issue in the latest WebKit and I can say that the bug is fixed in Yahoo! Mail Classic.
