Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Description

Hi,

I just tried to delet an item from my bookmark folder. I tried to select it and
press [del] which did not work. I have to use the context menu to delete it.

René, please include your build id when logging bugs.

Also, does this problem only occur with the one bookmark, or for any bookmark?

Comment 2

[René Stach]

1.0.1 RC2 and release. It happens with any bookmark. I click a bookmark in the
sidebar (the page is loading) and press [del] and nothing happens. I click
somewhere in the sidebar to give focus to the bookmarks, press [del] and nothing
happens. To me it seems that somebody forgot to add keyboard shortcuts to the
bookmarks sidebar. The context menu offers me a "delete bookmark" which works fine.

Please test with 1.2alpha (about to be released).  1.0.1 is very old...

Duplicate of bug 73343?

Comment 6

[René Stach]

No, no duplicate. This is just mising support for the [del] key in the bookmarks-sidebar. bug 73343 is a malfunction in the mail&news window.

this is highly annoying. is anything hapenning with this bug?

Comment 9

[denis]

Sorry. I just realized that I was seeing something else - in 0.9.1
branch/windows xp: I can't right-click or use [del] only if search field is not
empty, meaning that results are filtered in some way. This is probably a
different issue. Sorry for the traffic.
