Description

Opening new ticket and attaching test case as requested. In this test case, if the browser starts with a viewport of less than 1000px, then clicking the show button does not show the dialog.

This example is strikingly similar to the example featured in the dojo documentation, the main difference being that I am specifying the height in the style attribute rather than the width.

> Opening new ticket and attaching test case as requested.

My comment #17657 about opening a new ticket was to @ehood, not to you. @ehood claims that he has a case that fails even though he isn't setting the height in the Dialog.

This example is strikingly similar to the example featured in the dojo documentation, the main difference being that I am specifying the height in the style attribute rather than the width.

As I wrote in #17657, you shouldn't be specifying a height to the Dialog like that. When necessary, Dialog will resize itself to fit within the viewport, and you are interfering with that functionality. If you want to set a preferred size you can set it on a <div> inside the Dialog, like 

<div data-dojo-type=dijit/Dialog>
    <div style="height: 800px;">
         ...
    </div>
</div>

Sounds like the documentation needs to be updated though.
