Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3

If you delete all bookmarks from the bookmarks toolbar folder, the main browser
window goes up and down continuously. Like it's locked inside an event loop with
wrong co-ordinates, trying to move the main browser window to the correct
position in order to ocupy the space of the bookmarks toolbar folder place. The
problem is resolved if you hide the toolbar. However if you show the toolbar
again, it comes back on. If you add at least one bookmark, it is resolved again.
I am using WinXP in a CLEVO D470W system. It's specs can be found at the
following URL:
http://www.clevo.com.tw/products/D470W.asp
I have not installed SP2 for XP.
We tryed to simulate the problem at a compaq vc6000 machine with XP SP2 and the
problem does not exist. Also something that might help is that this bookmark was
imported by explorer, however any bookmark I create from Mozilla and delete it
afterwords, has the same effect.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have only one bookmark in the bookmarks toolbar
2. Right click, click delete
3. Same behavior, if you delete from manage bookmarks, bookmarks toolbar folder

Note: Bookmarks Toolbar must be visible.

Actual Results:  
Main browser window jumps up and down in the height of the bookmarks toolbar.
Even if you close and reopen Mozilla. The problem persists.

Expected Results:  
Main Browser window shouldn't be repositioned at all, because I did not hide the
toolbar, I only deleted all it's contents.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that

highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
