Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1471546

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Steps to reproduce:

The bookmark library (Ctrl+Shift+B) will resize the vertical height of bookmark list and bookmark information frame below it depending on what kind of item is selected. If a bookmark link is selected or if a folder is selected both frames are resized.

For example if a bookmark is selected, detailed information for Name, Location, Tags and Keyword are shown. However, if a folder is selected then only the Name is shown. The information frame vertical height changes depending on this context.

When transitioning from a selected folder to a selected bookmark, the information frame resizes vertically and culls the bottom three bookmark links. This causes loss of functionality of the user being able to double click the bottom three bookmarks when also transitioning from a selected folder to said bookmarks.

The cause of this is that the first click causes the bottom three bookmarks to be culled as the frames are resized, and thus the second click of the double click will trigger the mouse click event in the information frame and not on the bookmark.
