329507 - Can't drag link to bookmarks-menu

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect, P2)

Description

[Ria Klaassen (not reading all bugmail)]

Since Bug 329065 is fixed, I can drag a link into the bookmarks-menu, but not onto the Bookmarks-menu.
The usual behaviour was, that a link, dragged onto the Bookmarks label, became a bookmark automatically. You could find the new bookmark on the bottom of the main menu. Now I can only drag the link inside the menu.
With the current behaviour I get a 100% CPU usage as long as my mouse stays on the Bookmarks label and I can see that the browser tries to draw the menu but it fails.

The part with the 100% CPU usage and the menu not drawing correctly only happens on trunk for me, not the branch.

This was fixed by the patch for bug 329733.

Bug 451915 - move Firefox/Places bugs to Firefox/Bookmarks and History. Remove all bugspam from this move by filtering for the string "places-to-b-and-h".

In Thunderbird 3.0b, you do that as follows:
Tools | Message Filters
Make sure the correct account is selected. Click "New"
Conditions: Body   contains   places-to-b-and-h
Change the action to "Delete Message".
Select "Manually Run" from the dropdown at the top.
Click OK.

Select the filter in the list, make sure "Inbox" is selected at the bottom, and click "Run Now". This should delete all the bugspam. You can then delete the filter.
