Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create new profile and run Firefox.
  2. Create a bookmark.
  3. Open bookmarks Library window ("show all bookmarks") and create a folder.
  4. Click the "bookmarked" star and change the bookmark location to the new folder.
  5. Click the "bookmarked" star multiple times.

Expected:

  1. The Edit This Bookmark window appears under the "bookmarked" star and points to the star.

Actual:

  1. The Edit This Bookmark window appears too far to the left. See the attached screen shot

Maximizing the window resets the state and the Edit This Bookmark window will then appear in the correct place.

I can reproduce this on Ubuntu, not on Windows or Mac. It looks like when we expand horizontally the panel to make space for the folder picker, we also somehow remember the left position of it, and reopen at that left position even if now the panel is smaller.

I'm seeing if I can find a regression range.

Apparently this is not a recent regression, I tested up to Firefox 58 and it was still reproducible.
The bookmarks code only uses
this.panel.openPopup(this._anchorElement, "bottomcenter topright");
So there may be a bug somewhere in widgets that is only present in the Linux implementation.

I was hoping that we could easily workaround this by collapsing the folder tree before hiding the panel, but it doesn't work.

Severity: -- → S4
Flags: needinfo?(mak)
Priority: -- → P5

I am no longer able to reproduce this issue using my Steps to Reproduce in .0 and I haven't seen it in regular browsing recently.
