I'm filing this as a follow-up to bug 2012358 as the discussion has fizzled out there. IMHO, https://hg-edge.mozilla.org/comm-central/rev/7ef394bc86a2#l3.12 should be reverted as it makes for an inconsistent and "not to pretty" display, especially given that the tooltip is the same as the display itself. See attachment 9545353 [details] and attachement 9545363. It should be noted that in most other parts of the system, folders are displayed as "folder on account" and not a path. This is true for "Run selected filters on" or also folders shown in the account manager. In fact, everywhere where `displayformat="verbose"` is used: https://searchfox.org/comm-central/search?q=%22verbose%22&path=&case=false®exp=false As far as I can see, no UI review was done for the UI change. Alessandro, what's your take on the UI change? It looks like the UI was changed to cater for the need on one particular user without keeping the overall system appearance in mind. Furthermore the "folder -- account" string doesn't work for RTL locales because there "folder on account" becomes "tnuocca no redlof".
