Linux downloads bar layout and z-ordering problems

Project Member Reported by msw@chromium.org, Oct 20 2016

Issue description

Linux downloads bar layout and z-ordering problems

On Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with Chrome 55.0.2883.18 (Official Build) dev (64-bit):
1) Start a download that causes a prompt, eg:
   http://symless.com/download/file/?file=synergy-v1.8.4-stable-a6ff907-Linux-x86_64.deb
2) Shrink the browser window vertically as short as possible.

Expected: Minimum size includes download bar, or some reasonable layout.
Actual: Downloads bar and buttons overlap bookmarks and omnibox with odd z-ordering. See attached.

If we can't enforce minimum dimensions for the window, perhaps we can selectively hide UI elements that we can't fit. Clearly the size in the screenshot doesn't make it possible to have a download shelf with a dangerous download warning on it.

Or perhaps overlay everything with a "Please make the window bigger" banner :)

if you make the browser window too narrow, it also looks ridiculous and broken. On platforms where we can enforce a minimum size, we do. On platforms where we can't, we don't worry much about it because there's no way the browser window would be useful at that size anyway. I don't think I'd personally be in favor of adding any complexity to better handle this (e.g. code for a banner).

Agreed, but it might make sense to fix z-ordering or clamp the download bar height or something.
