Comment (by mcs):

 Replying to [comment:94 gk]:
 > Thanks, 1) is fixed in v9. I tried the fix for 2) and it has actually
 only negative effects on all my Linux boxes I tested. As I said
 originally, there is probably not much we can do without having a patch in
 Mozilla itself.

 Thanks for trying our patch.  It is a shame that platform differences make
 it unusable, but the slider is OK as-is; the alignment issue is just a
 visual annoyance.

 > Re 3): Yes, but fixing the size risks that some translation strings are
 not properly visible which is why I chose this way. If there is something
 better we can do I am all for it.

 We will think about it and maybe experiment more if we have time. But this
 is also not a show stopper.
