1679632 - Avoid covering last bookmark in Bookmark Manager after selection

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1471546

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement)

Description

[Peter Steiner]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:83.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/83.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Bookmark Manager
2. select in the bookmark folder tree on the left side a folder with many bookmark entries. The folder should contain more bookmarks than the list on the right can show at once

Short note about the current view: Below the bookmark list a grey pane is shown with ONLY the entry field "Name:"

3. Now proceed: click on the last visible bookmark in the list on the right side

Response from Firefox:
The grey pane at the bottom below the bookmarks list is automatically expanded and extended with now the 4 entry fields
Name:
Location:
Tags:
Keywords:

Unfortunately the just selected bookmark entry is covered by this pane.
User have to manually scroll down the list to see the just marked bookmark.
Thats the only way the user can drag the bookmark into another folder in the tree on the left side.

Actual results:

See above

Expected results:

The auto-expansion (after bookmark selection) of the entry field pane at the bottom should either shift the bookmark list up so that the just selected bookmark is still visible.
Or - alternatively - the 4 entry fields should always be visible.
