In the Settings menu of one filter I have one setting where the value area is very short. Is appearing like this only in my computer or is it a bug?
I attach a screenshot and the filter.

The same thing happens with other filters too, no matter I close FF, switch off the PC, or close any other program.

This is kind of intended. It could be more neat but it works as expected.

If you enable the "Allow external images" flag for this control you'll see the image loading button is placed to the right of the input field. When this flag is disabled the button is not displayed and the input field is still there.

I see.
No way to make the input area a bit bigger?
The values can't be seen completely.

In my example, if I move the small lever from 0.60, I don't see any change until I reach 0.70, because the last value doesn't appear.
It makes the lever almost useless.
The only way to control it is to type the precise value inside.

What about making the button smaller instead of reducing the input field?
The button size doesn't matter so much. Even it was a little smaller, it would be still ok.

Someone else would need precision to the third or fifth or tenth decimal place, and any larger input field would be insufficient to show ten digits. And another user could set font size to 125%, and even two digits won't fit there.

Yes, it could be more neat but I'm afraid we can't please everyone.
