I'm very surprised not to see a bug on this. Since I can't find one, I'm filing what may be a duplicate. But I think it's important... DESCRIPTION: It is often impossible to scroll to the bottom of a tree. Sometimes resizing the window up and down a bit will make it possible, but sometimes it won't. STEPS TO REPRODUCE: * load ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/ * scroll to the bottom ACTUAL RESULTS: * the newest builds are not visible EXPECTED RESULTS: * see the newest builds DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY ON: * Win98 mozilla 2000-06-21-08-M17 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: I am nominating this bug for *dogfood* because it prevents me from using the browser for: * downloading a new build of the browser (as described above) * using the browser for reading mail, since I can't see the newest messages, which are the ones I most want to see

tested on mac and win2k on 6/26 builds, this works just fine for me. the entire tree is visible. note the bug was reported with a 6/21 build, so this may have been fixed by more grid bug fixes that landed later in the week. marking WFM, pushing back on dogfood+ characterization in case it's reopened.

Reopening and putting back [dogfood+]. I can reproduce this pretty reliably (but not 100%) in my Win98 2000-06-26-09-M17 release build. If you want to see it, come down to my cube (right at the bottom of the stairs near the bridge of soda cans) tomorrow. I'm pretty sure I see it in my Linux debug build too (my Win98 debug build is somewhat out of date).

I do see this, on a hit-and-miss (~30%) basis, on win95 with today's comm. opt. build, when I drag the thumb to the bottom. However, I cannot reproduce it on today's mac or linux builds (all tested using ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/). I can workaround on windows by scrolling back to the top, and then clicking below the thumb to move to the bottom of the tree. Removing [dogfood+] as I think Mike's point was that "if reopened, I want another assessment by PDT as to whether this is dogfood".

This affects aim buddy list as well in commercial. AIm tets case is : -start browser -Tasks|Instant Messenger -Add some buddy groups and buddies (enough so that you need to scrol down) -if you try and scroll down you can't completely do it
BTW, I also see this in AIM on Linux build 2000-06-27-20M17 and Mac build 2000-06-27-11 M17. setting platforms to All. In most cases you can't scroll down to the last buddy in the list using the test case for AIM.

Seems to happen in MailNews as well, cannot scroll to the bottom of the list of messages in the thread pane. Also the scroll bar occassionally disappears in the thread pane - reappears if you resize - do I need to file a seperate bug on that? Thanks, Vishy

No. The disappearing scrollbar is bug #43467

we're hoping that the fix for 43169 might fix this one too. we're having a hard time reproducing it to fix it, although we've all seen it enough to know it's for real. hyatt and I both contest that since (with a bit of wrangling) it is always possible to get to the row you want to see, that this isn't dogfood, perse, but pdt seems to think it is. due to the fact that we're having a hard time reproducing to fix, if the patch for 43160 doesn't fix it, it probably won't get fixed until at least 7/11 when hyatt returns from vacation.

hyatt is stumped, the fix for our other dogfood bug didn't help at all. bryner is helping on it, but...

I should say also that with the specified URL (the FTP site), I was unable to reproduce the bug. I can reproduce it in mail, but not reliably.

I just put entered a comment to bug 39710, which looks similar to this one.
Comment 16•24 years ago

Bug 35560 also looks similar to this one and might be related. Not sure if it's a dup or not. That bug is 100% reproducible.

I've been looking at this with evaughan... I think I have an idea what's going on. It's possible for the tree's preferred size to be too small, which causes the scroll frame to only scroll part way down. The fix is rather involved but I have some progress.

Thanks bryner! Fixes an AIM bug in bugscape that depends on this as well. Vishy

I can still see this on occasion for bookmark manager, ftp, and mail 1) only on win32 (not on mac or linux) 2) only by grabbing the thumb, dragging up, and then sharply snapping down to the bottom of the tree. 3) I can always recover by going back to the top of the tree, and then dragging the thumb at a normal speed to the bottom of the tree again Reopening, but removing [dogfood+] -- I am not prevented from using the product to do these tasks, only slightly inconvenienced. Nominating nsbeta2, as it would be good to finalize this fix for PR2, but I would concede that this is not a 'pull off the wire' bug. (IMHO. If others (perhaps mailnews|aim people) have a stronger opinion, they should add their argument here).

It's much better in Aim, but it did happen to me once on Winnt build yesterday for Aim,...In my case trying to scroll up. Resizing the Aim window corrected it though, where before that did not have any effect.

Putting on [nsbeta2-][dogfood-] radar. Not critical to beta2. There's a workaround right?

I, um, er, can still reproduce this, with the same caveats noted 7/12 (only on windows, mailnews|ftp|bookmarks, only with a scrollup then sharp scrolldown, can always recover and get to the bottom). Sorry (maybe general perf work will cure this somewhat).

I think hyatt's changes for fast tree scrolling fixed the last remnants of this bug.
