Re: [Xsltforms-support] Firefox rendering issue - anyone know a workaround?

[Stephen C. <ste...@gm...>]

Bug is correct.

I assume this is simply because the zoom factor is being ignored, but then
when you force a repaint by resizing the window it gets correctly used.

I'd like to think that with Mozilla it should be possible to get something
like this (it seems trivial) fixed!

Do we sign a petition or something?
