264730 - Must click twice to close a Bookmark Toolbar folder after dropping a bookmark on top of a folder inside of it

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041016 Firefox/1.0

Must click twice to close a Bookmark Toolbar folder after dropping a bookmark on
top of a folder inside of it.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Drop a bookmark from the root of a Bookmark Toolbar folder (or from another
Toolbar folder) on top of a folder within it.
2.  Move the mouse up to the depressed folder button fast enough as to not
activate another folder inside of it.
3.  Click once to close it.

Actual Results:  
The Toolbar folder doesn't close.  Click it again to close it.

Expected Results:  
The Toolbar folder should have closed after the first click.

You can also reproduce this if you drop a bookmark somewhere inside the folder
(instead of dropping it on top of it), as long as you then move the mouse below
the root dropdown menu and then directly up it to the Toolbar button.  If you
instead follow the hierarchy backwards in the correct order, you will not see
the bug.

This bug is minor, but very annoying when rearranging bookmarks inside the
Bookmark Toolbar a lot.

Note that when you drag from the Address Bar to a place within a Bookmarks
Toolbar folder, or drag bookmarks from the root of the Bookmark Toolbar to a
place within a Bookmarks Toolbar folder, the dropdown listing IMMEDIATELY
closes.  When dragging from the Bookmarks Menu to a place within a Bookmarks
Toolbar folder, the dropdown listing DOES NOT close.  

Just FYI.  I don't know if this is the preferred behavior, or if the code is
just inconsistent.  I would rather it be more predictable,  e.g. have the
dropdown ALWAYS stay open after dragging to it, until I click away.

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

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
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.

sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs, filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change

Now that Bug 337761 has been fixed, I have noticed this buggy behavior again.
Btw, this bug behavior seems to be similar to Bug 96504, except this bug only occurs when dragging already existing bookmarks within folders, and not when creating new bookmarks by dragging them from the address bar.

Comment 7

[mmortal03]

This bug is again temporarily not producible, because it depends on the regression of Bug 395176.

Comment 8

[mmortal03]

This may also depend on, or in fact be a duplicate of Bug 225434, because the depressed bookmark/folder behavior is very similar to the results of this bug...however, I am not going to mark it as such, as I can't prove this.

I think this was, in fact, a duplicate of some other bugs, that don't seem to be present anymore.  I am marking it as WFM.
