Search window won't resize

more options

Shift-Ctrl-F brings up a search window. The window defaults to an overly wide width. I can resize it, but the fields won't resize, making the +/- buttons extend past the window edge.

Anyone know how to fix/workaround this bug?

FF 40.0.2 and Win 7

What's your screen size/resolution?

Just looked at it here on a 1366 x 768 size 96 DPI screen and yes, that search window only just fits.

1920 x 1080

So that's a "bigger" screen than mine. Do you know the dpi figure for it? Have you scaled up text Suze significantly?

No, and no.

Does anyone have any ideas how to fix/troubleshoot this?

My screen size is 1280X1024 with the same problem. Release 38.2.0 The only workaround I've been able to do is to grab the box at the bottom, pull it up slightly to shrink the box, this causes the top header to show. Then you can grab it at the top and move it to view/click the full screen button, which then sizes correctly.
