Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 176244

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Attachment: Date cut-off

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; fa; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20090219 Minefield/3.2a1pre ID:20090219020624

Selecting any folder in the tree pane which shows up a couple of bookmarks, the date column is too narrow to fit all the content. The date is cut-off and you will only see the time.

Steps:
1. Open the Library
2. Check that the date column is shown
3. Select any folder in the tree pane which contains bookmarks

See the attachment for the results you will see.

That happens not only for dates. The left-most column is affected by this at any time.

Hmm, can you reproduce this on a new profile?  IINM the date column shouldn't show by default.  Is it possible that you have resized this column too narrow?

You have to add this date column or any other date column. After that try to make this column wider. It will not be possible. You cannot drag the head separator to the right. Probably we should update the summary or there is already a bug about not being able to resize columns in RTL mode.

I thought that this bug is mentioning the width of the column.  If it's the resizing issue, then it's a dupe of bug 176244, and will be fixed by my patch in that bug.

It's a problem with the resizing, yes. It's not possible to drag the column separator to the right. Marking as dupe.

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.
