new window height is aftected by bookmarks toolbar with icons

    • Closed (moved) Issue created by Trac @tracbot

    — Platform: MacOS desktop computer

    — Change the default Tor Browser 8.0.1 window size on MacOS desktop platforms to match the default Tor Browser 8.0.1 window sizes on Linux and Windows desktop platforms so that the default Tor Browser 8.0.1 window size is identical on MacOS, Linux, and Windows desktop platforms.

    — In the Tor Browser 8.0 upgrade from version 7.5.6, the Tor Browser team decreased the default Tor Browser window size on MacOS desktop platforms from 1000 Wide x 1000 High to 1000 Wide x 0998 High.

    — In Tor Browser 8.0 and 8.0.1, if the default Tor Browser window size on MacOS (1000 Wide x 0998 High) desktop platforms is smaller than the default Tor Browser window size on Linux (1000 Wide x 1000 High) and Windows (1000 Wide x 1000 High) desktop platforms, an adversary more easily can identify, track, and deanonymize Tor Browser 8.0.1 clients that are using MacOS desktop platforms.

      Does this happen with a clean, new Tor Browser 8 (you could drag one to your desktop and start Tor Browser from there for testing purposes? And previously, with Tor Browser 7 this was a non-issue? Which macOS system are you on?

      When Tor Browser 8.0.2 is using preferred configuration:1, described below, the browser window size is width:1000 x height:998. However, when Tor Browser 7.5.6 is using the same identical preferred configuration:1, the Tor Browser 7.5.6 window size is 1000x1000. I think Tor Browser 8.0.2, using preferred configuration:1 should not have browser window size:1000x998, but instead should have browser window size:1000x1000, as in Tor Browser 7.5.6.

      Tor Browser 7.5.6, using the following preferred configuration:1, has browser window size:1000x1000:

      1. In the Customize page, Bookmarks Toolbar Items is visible in the space between the dotted lines.
      2. Horizontal Bookmarks Toolbar is visible beneath Address Bar.
      3. Saved bkmarks and bkmarks folders are visible in horizontal Bookmarks Toolbar beneath Address Bar.
      4. All other browser settings affecting browser window size have original default configuration.

      Tor Browser 8.0.2, using the same identical preferred configuration:1, has browser window size:1000x998:

      1. In the Customize page, Bookmarks Toolbar Items is visible in the space between the dotted lines.
      2. Horizontal Bookmarks Toolbar is visible beneath Address Bar.
      3. Saved bkmarks and bkmarks folders are visible in horizontal Bookmarks Toolbar beneath Address Bar.
      4. All other browser settings affecting browser window size have original default configuration.

      Tor Browser 8.0.2, using the following alternative configuration:2, has browser window size:1000x1000:

      1. In the Customize page, Bookmarks Toolbar Items is visible in Overflow Menu.
      2. Empty horizontal Bookmarks Toolbar is visible beneath Address Bar.
      3. Saved bkmarks and bkmarks folders are not visible in horizontal Bookmarks Toolbar beneath Address Bar.
      4. All other browser settings affecting browser window size have original default configuration.

      Tor Browser 8.0.2, using the following alternative configuration:3, has browser window size:1000x1000:

      1. In the Customize page, Bookmarks Toolbar Items is visible in Address Bar.
      2. Empty horizontal Bookmarks Toolbar is visible beneath Address Bar.
      3. Saved bkmarks and bkmarks folders are not visible in horizontal Bookmarks Toolbar beneath Address Bar.
      4. All other browser settings affecting browser window size have original default configuration.

      Desired result:

      Tor Browser 8.0.2, using the aforementioned preferred configuration:1, should have browser window size:1000x1000 and should not have browser window size:1000x998.

      In the top line of ticket #27845 (moved), the term needs_information appears. Does this mean I need to provide more information in addition to the new information in comment:5? If the answer to this question is, "yes", what specific additional information should I provide?

      It seems there is a regression in case you have the bookmarks toolbar enabled, putting it on our radar.

      In Tor Browser 8.0.3, the same identical regression present in Tor Browser 8.0.2, as described in comment:5, still persists.

      Tor Browser 8.0.4 (Apple MacOS) has default screen resolution 1000 Wide x 1000 High with all browser settings affecting screen resolution in their default-standard settings.

      After selecting View/Toolbars/✓Bookmarks Toolbar, the screen resolution changes to 1000 Wide x 0990 High.

      I first noticed a similar regression, 1000 Wide x 0998 High, in Tor Browser 8.0.

      Neither the previous regression 1000 Wide x 0998 High, nor the current regression 1000 Wide x 0990 High existed in Tor Browser 7. See comment:5

      Screen resolutions in Tor Browser 7 and Tor Browser 8 with identical configuration View/Toolbars/✓Bookmarks Toolbar:

      1000 Wide x 1000 High — Tor Browser 7.5.6

      1000 Wide x 0998 High — Tor Browser 8.0, 8.0.1, 8.0.2, 8.0.3

      1000 Wide x 0990 High — Tor Browser 8.0.4

      Let's fix this regression so that when Tor Browser has configuration View/Toolbars/✓Bookmarks Toolbar, the screen resolution will be 1000 Wide x 1000 High, identical to screen resolution 1000 Wide x 1000 High in Tor Browser 7.5.6 with the same configuration View/Toolbars/✓Bookmarks Toolbar.

      Platform: Mac OS X 10.10.5 Yosemite on Apple iMac24 Intel desktop pc.

      After installing and using Tor Browser 8.0.4 for a short period, the height of the Bookmarks Toolbar and/or the height of the Address Bar and/or the height of the Tab Bar apparently contracted by a combined total of 10 pixels with no configuration input from me, resulting in a most ideal change in the browser screen resolution, changing from 1000 Wide x 990 High to 1000 Wide x 1000 High, with configuration View/Toolbars/✓Bookmarks Toolbar.

      I suspect gk, boklm, and/or the tbb team might deserve credit for this screen-resolution fix/correction. Whoever might deserve credit, I respectfully and sincerely thank you all.

      Glad that it works for you. We did not implement a fix directly. But maybe switching to the Rust based style system somehow solves that? Closing this for now. Please reopen if the problem comes back/still persists. Thanks.

      The problem recurred after upgrading from TB 8.0.4 to TB 8.0.5.

      With neither bookmarks nor bookmarks-folders appearing in the enabled Bookmarks Toolbar, the screen size is wide:1000 x high:1000.

      However, dragging "Bookmarks Toolbars Items" from the Customize panel or the Overflow Menu panel into the Bookmarks Toolbar changes screen size to wide:1000 x high:0998.

      Desired result: with bookmarks and bookmarks-folders visible in the Bookmarks Toolbar, screen size should be wide:1000 x high:1000.

      I reopened fixed defect #27845 (moved) because the problem recurred after I upgraded from TB 8.0.4 to 8.0.5.

      I didn't realize this had been closed.

      The problem is not MacOS specific. It has been happening in Windows7 as well in all 8.* versions. The problem is not the toolbar per se, it is the height/padding/spacing/margin of any icons.

      It's been happening since FF57 and Quantum's redesign - see https://github.com/ghacksuserjs/ghacks-user.js/issues/297

      After upgrading from Tor Browser 8.0.5 to 8.0.6, the problem recurred.

      Initial screen size was wide:1000 x high:1000 with Bookmarks Toolbar not enabled.

      Screen size remained wide:1000 x high1000 after enabling Bookmarks Toolbar, but with no bookmark-folders with text and no individual bookmarks with text appearing in the visible but "empty" Bookmarks Toolbar.

      Currently, screen size is wide:1000 x high:0998 with Bookmarks Toolbar enabled and with bookmark-folders with text and individual bookmarks with text appearing in the Bookmarks Toolbar.

      Chronological log of steps that caused the following weird behavior in TB:

      Upgraded from TB 8.0.5 to 8.0.6 and started TB 8.0.6.

      Initial screen size was wide:1000 x high1000 with Bookmarks Toolbar not enabled.

      Screen size changed to wide:1000 x high:978 after enabling Bookmarks Toolbar, with bookmark-folders with text and individual bookmarks with text appearing in Bookmarks Toolbar.

      Screen size changed to wide:1000 x high:998 after quitting and restarting TB, with bookmark-folders with text and individual bookmarks with text appearing in Bookmarks Toolbar.

      Screen size changed to wide:1000 x high:1020 after disabling Bookmarks Toolbar.

      Screen size changed to wide:1000 x high:1000 after restarting TB, with Bookmarks Toolbar disabled.

      Screen size changed to wide:1000 x high:998 after enabling Bookmarks Toolbar with bookmark-folders with text and individual bookmarks with text appearing in Bookmarks Toolbar.

      Desired result: screen size wide:1000 x high:1000 with Bookmarks Toolbar enabled, and bookmark-folders with text and individual bookmarks with text appearing in Bookmarks Toolbar.
