166409 - Long bookmark menus no longer scroll correctly

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 62377

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Steven Bush]

Build ID: 2002083108 win32-talkback.zip  (just upgraded from 20020731xx build)
operating system: Win98

I have a very long folder of bookmarks which when displayed exceeds the height
of my screen.  Consequently, a small arrow is added to the top and the bottom of
the menu when the bookmarks are displayed.  These two arrows are supposed to
scroll the menu of bookmarks when the mouse rests over them.  This was working
fine about a month ago, but currently when the mouse rests over them, the list
is only scrolled by one or two items before stopping.  moving the mouse causes
the list to scroll one or two more, but scrolling is choppy at best.  The result
is that long lists of bookmarks become virtually worthless.

This should be able to be reproduced by creating a bookmark folder and adding
enough bookmarks to it so that the menu no longer fits within the window.

The obvious workaround is to remove bookmarks until the list fits within the
screen, but this is a poor solution since it imposes an artificial restriction
on how he or she can use the bookmarks folders.

Dup of bug 62377.

Agreed on dupe.  However, from the comments in 62377, it sounds like 163104
might be the bug that will receive the primary for this.
