109726 - folders in the Personal Toolbar should behave like menus

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 48574

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Basil Fritts]

Folders in the Personal Toolbar should behave like menus. More specifically,
they should respond to mouse events like menus do. See bug 73245.

From comments #9 on that bug:
If bookmark folders in the personal toolbar menu behaved like menus, that might
be less confusing. In fact, I tend to forget that they are /not/ supposed to
behave like menus and get irritated when they don't.

Specifically, the behavior I'm thinking of here is:
1. Click event to access the first bookmark folder on the toolbar.
2. Mouseover event to access subsequent folders.

Once again, the original bug has some more context if that's not exactly clear.
Cf. also mpt's comments #10.

Confirmed. The personal toolbar folders don't currently act like Basil 
describes.

I question whether folders should behave more like menus. With the 20011108 
nightly I believe they may already be too much like menus. For example, click 
and hold on a folder and drag should allow you to reposition the folder on the 
bar. At the moment it just opens the "menu" and doesn't let you drag it like 
you can bookmarks. (Ok, should that be a new bug? Is this a windows vs mac kind 
of difference?) I can see that in the general case, click and release on the 
folder should open the menu and then moving to a new folder should open the menu 
on mouseover. There could be a kind of "menu activated" mode for the PT.
