275712 - dragging icon into folder to create bookmark causes tooltip text to appear over folder

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Vlad Beffa]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

If you hover the mouse over the icon in the address bar, you get the tooltip
text "Drag and drop this icon to create a link to this page." If you drag the
icon above a folder in your bookmarks toolbar folder and drop it there, the
bookmark is successfully created. However, after the bookmark is created, if you
don't move the mouse but leave it above the folder, the tooltip text appears
again, this time directly above the folder you just created the bookmark in. If
you try to now click on this folder to see the bookmarks in it (including the
bookmark you just created), you can't. It doesn't respond. You have to wait
about 5 seconds until the tooltip text goes away, or move the mouse away and
back in order to be able to expand this folder. Since the bookmark has already
been created, the tooltip text shouldn't appear, especially since it gets in the
way of expanding the folder.

Yes, I can still reproduce it.

My experience is similar, but not exactly as described.

When dragging a bookmark from the address bar to the bookmark folder, if the link is dragged below the bookmark folder bar and then back up to it, the bookmark can be dropped and will be added.  However, if the link is dragged from the address bar directly to the bookmark folder, the tooltip text hovers and you are prevented from adding the bookmark.

If this still happens for you after testing a trunk build*, please reopen with new comments

It is helpful to state your release

If you test a trunk build and this happens, please comment in a matching existing bug (or if not exists, file a new one).
