The issue is that select elements may contain some non-Latin characters that
need extra block-size to display than the one line-height calculated by using a
Latin font spec in the style.
Before this patch, when a control has an unconstrained block-size, we set
the element's block-size to one line-height in Reflow(), which is intended to
properly initialize `BlockReflowInput::mMinLineHeight` since it uses
`line-height:-moz-block-height`.
However, this simply prevents the display from choosing a larger block-size
after the reflow occurs. Previously, this discrepancy was absorbed by the extra
padding present to make select elements the same intrinsic size as buttons, but
since we did away with that, we're losing the extra space and the font glyphs
get clipped.
This patch fixes the issue by carrying the computed line height over to the
element's display so that its computed block-size is still unconstrained.
This way it can accommodate taller characters in the display text.
After this patch, a <select><option> containing non-Latin characters should have
the same block-size as <button>, and no characters should be clipped.
This repository holds the code for a unified application platform for XUL-based
applications. It is a hard fork from the Mozilla code repository (mozilla-central)
with an ESR-52 fork point.
In addition to further development based on the Mozilla upstream code, and
selective cherry-picking of directly-applicable patches, this repository has its
own development and holds the base for a maintained platform to be used by XUL
applications.
