[Bug 1383012] [NEW] Online account authorization window for Facebook too small, cannot authorize because of it

 

Public bug reported:

When I was trying to add my Facebook account, it looks like loaded HTML
viewer inside of the window where facebook login/authorize box appeared.
After logging into Facebook, Facebook displays a prompt that "GNOME"
wants to access my Inbox, Friends, Messages, etc. But I was unable to
click OK to authorize, because Facebook drops overlay on top of
OK/Cancel buttonsthat complains that window for this popup is too small,
and asks me to resize it.

In Russian facebook error read something like this (screenshot):
"Popup window is too small to display this page, please resize it to continue"

* This popup is not resizable on Ubuntu desktop. See screenshot.

- I believe it's because perhaps due to my Russian locale on Facebook, popup is bigger then developers (perhaps in English) were testing it with.
- Quick solution is to make this resizable when creating this popup window on desktop.

I hope this is correct place for this bug, if not plz move it, I'm not
that familiar with the system here.
