Re: Gmail textareas

Hi All,

I'm not sure whether Google changed things or I forgot the scope of my
work-around.  Here's a different one (still a .gdbinit) that's equally
crude but possibly more robust:

--------------
break CSS_CREATE_LENGTH(float, CssLengthType)
cond 1 (t==CSS_LENGTH_TYPE_EX)
commands 1
        print t=CSS_LENGTH_TYPE_PERCENTAGE
        print v=100
        cont
--------------

Regards,
James.
