149985 - Bookmarks pulldown menu fails with sub-folders

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 144195

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

From Bugzilla Helper:

This is a rather involved bug, but it winds up making the Mozilla bookmarks far
less friendly than other browers(ie. IE).  After some aggravation, I finally
figured out the problem: 

When pulling down the Bookmarks menu, selecting a folder, and then swinging your
mouse out of the menu (for a fraction of a second) and over to another
sub-folder, and menu colapses all sub-folders.

Mozilla behaves correctly when you swing the mouse over to a link, rather than a
sub-folder.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a sub-folder in your list of bookmarks (ie OuterFolder).
2.Put a sub-folder in the sub-folder (ie InnerFolder).  (Making it a
sub-sub-folder).
3.Create a link (ie InnerLink) beside InnerFolder for comparison purposes.
4.Open the Bookmarks menu, and move the mouse down to the OuterFolder menu.  At
this point, the OuterFolder menu opens up, revealing InnerFolder and InnerLink.
5.If you swing your mouse over to InnerLink (leaving the menu for just a second)
the OuterFolder menu does not collapse.  Correct behavior.
6.If you swing your mouse over to InnerFolder (leaving the menu for just a
second) the OuterFolder menu collapses.  Incorrect behavior.

Actual Results:  The menu collapsed.

Expected Results:  The menu should have stayed open.

I believe that the bookmark menu system is failing to distinguish between
sub-menus and sub-sub-menus.  It could be fixed by assigning a level counter to
each folder.  

This is only a UI bug, but it really make Mozilla feel sloppy.  Should be fixed.
