Tobias, the "empty" menu item is bug 79411.  Please keep it to one issue per 
bug report.  Thanks.

I think this may be related to bug 124542, check the comments in that bugs,
there are many more than in this one.

i don't think so. what i meant was, that arrows appear although i don't
need them to see all bookmarks. ->scrolling is not needed

i noticed this bug in 0.9.8 too. but in 0.9.8 the arrows function.

now, that the arrows don't react, i can't access all of the bookmarks,
because one is always hidden.

I'm saying that, because all scrollbars have an arrow down button even if you
are at the end of the list, these popups tend to do the same thing, and its
still there.

Its not really a problem for most, although it might just throw off a newbie
user thinking they had more bookmarks and thought something was wrong at that
point in the program as the bug here. :)

I have the same issue (unnecessary Up/Down scroll-arrows) with Mozilla
2002-02-26(03) on WinNT.

Even though it's a cosmetic error, I hope this doesn't get marked WONTFIX
because -- as the previous comment said -- it *is* confusing to newbies.

Works for me on Win98Se, mozila trunk build 20020307. Anyone still seeing this ?

Comment 10

[Tony Tovar]

Yes, it's better now on NT (using 2002-03-07-03) but there's still two 
problems, one of which may be a regression:

- When the scrollbars *are* needed, both Up and Down arrows appear even though 
only the Down arrow is needed.
- If you try to use the drag-and-drop functionality (without using the Manage 
Bookmarks dialog) the bookmark folders don't always close properly.  Maybe 
there's a separate bug already filed for this?

The bug I just duped was on Linux. This bug has mutated a little from
the original description, I think.

The problem I can reproduce on 2002-04-17 Linux is that for a submenu
with 10+ items, there are arrows, but they are not needed because my
screen is much bigger, and only the down arrow does anything (scrolling
down to show only one more bookmark).

Of course, without the arrows, it could easily fit all the bookmarks
on screen.
