121219 - Screen redraw issues with Customize Sidebar for International folder

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: Sidebar, defect)

Description

[Jay Farrell]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)
BuildID:    20020114

There seem to be multiple issues with re-freshing the screen for
the Customize Sidebar window when you expand the International folder
and the various country folders in it.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click  Tabs | Customize folder
2. Leaving the window the default size, expand the International
  folder to see Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Spain,
  Sweden, UK.
3. Start with Brazil and open/close each contries folder to see if
  there are links within. (Note: Canada doesn't have a link, that's
  another bug that I'll open next)
4. When you get to Germany, you'll notice that the size of the list
  has grown to need a scroll bar on the side. Scroll down to see
  all links associated with Germany (It now says Deutschland, which
  refers to another bug that's already opened Bug 77348)
5. When you close the folder for Deutchland, the screen does not
  refresh properly.
  


Actual Results:  SCreen is not refreshed properly

Expected Results:  The screen should redraw/refresh properly

I saw this on both OpenVMS as well as Linux, but it has to do with
the size of the "Customize Sidebar" window. If you increase the size
of the window before you expand the folders, there is no problem.
If you shrink the size of the window, lots more issues pop-up
with window refresh.

confirming. I see the bug...screen glitch after expanding all folders, then
closing one of them. workaround is to scroll up and down to refresh screen.

I'm being pulled off of Mozilla testing and put on other tasks, so I don't have
time for this issue, sorry.  I'm not sure why your not able to reproduce this
problem everytime following the original steps because I could. As I noted 
before, if you have increased the size of your "Customize Sidebar" window then
the problem may not occur. I suggest making the "Customize Sidebar" window 
smaller before expanding the sub-folders, that way your sure to get a "scroll 
bar" added to the window, and I belive the problem occurs only AFTER the
scroll bar shows up in the window.
Good Luck!

I could not reproduce this problem on the latest OpenVMS release, 20020513.
The folders have changed from when this front-end test was originally written,
but the refresh seems to work alright. The other bugs mentioned in the original 
bug entry (empty canada folder, names change of Germany) are still a problem.

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.
