125375 - unexpected scrolling in "Manage Bookmarks" window

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

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

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020204;
BuildID:    2002020415

Reproducable: Always
Steps to reproduce:
[1] Open the "Manage Bookmarks" window (CTRL+B)
[2] Make sure it contains enough entries for a vertical scrollbar to appear
[3] Select the last bookmark of the list (through clicking it or clicking on
another one and scrolling to the last on using the arrow keys - it doesn't seem
to matter)
[4] Delete the last bookmark by pressing the "delete" key (or button on top)

Actual results:

The selected bookmark is deleted and no further bookmark is selected.
Pressing the "down" arrow key makes the bookmark window scroll half-way. Ooops!
By clicking on another bookmark or the scrollbar normal operation is resumed.

Expected results:

After deleting the last bookmark, the new last item (ie. the bookmark on top of
the last one) should be selected (to be deleted as well or moved or anything).

(using Mozilla 2002-02-26(03) on WinNT)
I'm unable to reproduce this problem though I do find that the Manage Bookmarks
window does not work properly.  

After deleting the last entry, pressing the down-arrow causes the window to
scroll down ... into blank screen-space!  It appears that the window no longer
recognizes the end of the bookmark list.  On Linux, apparently, it jumps to the
middle of the list, while on WinNT it scrolls into the void.

This is exactly what I described. I also confirmed it on win2k so "OS" should be
changed to "All".

Confirming on 2002022503 on WinXP.

I'm also seeing the following errors in the JavaScript Console:

Error: this.parentNode.parentNode.view has no properties

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 
0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE) [nsIOutlinerView.isContainer]"  
nsresult: "0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE)"  location: "JS frame ::

Reproducible on Mac OS X as reported in bug 129211 which I just marked duplicate. Build 2002030508. Should change platform field to All.

Confirming on 

Mozilla 1.2a

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:1.2a) Gecko/20020910

Exactly as the original report.

This is occuring in many other ways that originally reported, and it is VERY
annoying. This is a very longstanding bug.

Ben, have you seen this yourself? It's way past 1.1a. Do you think 1.3a is
possible to address this?

This seems to happen even if you simply rearange bookmarks that are past where
the scroll point would be. Since I normally use the keyboard for the bookmarks
menu, everytime I rearange or delete a bookmark I have to restart Mozilla so the
menu is usable.

What I mention may instead be bug 156942. If that bug isn't a dupe of this one,
I have no clue what this bug is about. The description doesn't seem to match the
summary.

The summary should be something more like "Bookmark Manager allows invalid
down-scrolling with the down arrow after last bookmark has been deleted using
delete key", depending how many characters are allowed in a summary.  :)

I confirm that this bug occurs in 1.4 RC3 on my Win2k SP3 machine.  In addition,
regarding comment #8 (hi Jeremy!), this bug does not appear to be a dupe of 156942.

I confirm this is still (and also) happening in Mozilla 1.4 on MacOS X.

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

The minor difference is since there is no "del" key you have to press the
"Delete" button on the Bookmarks Manager top toolbar, in order to trigger the bug.

This appears on the javascript console:

Error: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80070057
(NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE) [nsIXULTreeBuilder.getResourceAtIndex]"  nsresult:
"0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE)"  location: "JS frame ::
chrome://communicator/content/bookmarks/bookmarksTree.xml#bookmarks-tree.getRowResource()
:: getRowResource :: line 2"  data: no]
Source File:
chrome://communicator/content/bookmarks/bookmarksTree.xml#bookmarks-tree.getRowResource()
Line: 2

Perhaps we need to change hardware (platform) -> all and retarget ?
