url bar bug with search

Unread post by fatboy » 2022-05-23, 08:42

Good Day folks,

I have been noticing a small bug with Pale Moon where the search suggestion box sits over the url bar.

To recreate the bug:
1) Go to Tools -> Preferences -> Tabs
2) Deselect "Always Show Tab bar"
3) Make sure you have two tab open
4) Type a search term in url bar

You will see the search suggestions window overlay on top of the url bar in attachment

Wait, so, you're having tabs on top AND "always show the tab bar" disabled? That's a really weird combination, since tabs in the title bar would prevent the tab bar from hiding anyway.

Works fine for me. You should try disabling some add-ons.

Well, I have the "always show the tab bar" disabled. I like it when the tab bar hides when there is only one tab active. However, when I have two tabs open, it seems that PM still thinks I have only one tab open and places the search suggestions (in this case bookmarks) where it would when there was only one tab open?

Yes I understand that, but since tabs when sharing space with other elements can't actually collapse the bar, I don't think it'd be compatible with that kind of operation.

Hey Moonchild,

Thanks for the reply. Do you mean that this behaviour I am seeing can not be changed? And I can thus consider this problem solved?

you may be able to fine-tune the placement with userChrome or an edit to the theme... but I'm not 100% sure if there is an easy solution to this.
