177266 - Chevron appears when the last item on the toolbar is a bookmark folder

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, defect)

Description

[David Tenser [:djst]]

If you place a bookmark folder as the last item on the toolbar, the overflow
chevron will appear.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new profile.
2. Customize the toolbar by removing the Search Bar and place the Bookmarks
Toolbar Items there instead. (The Bookmarks Toolbar will now be empty, feel free
to hide it.)
3. Notice that the chevron does not appear now. So far so good.
4. Remove the preinstalled bookmark and create a bookmark folder there instead
(using Bookmark Manager).

Actual results:
The overflow chevron appears, even though there is plenty of space to show the
whole bookmark folder. Note also that if you have a very high resolution (say
1280x1024), the chevron will not appear if you maximize the window.

Place a new bookmark (not a folder) to the right of the folder that causes this
chevron to appear, and the problem will be solved. The problem only appears when
the last item is a bookmark folder.

Attachment: Screenshot of the problem.

In the screenshot, I've clicked on the chevron to show you that there's only
one bookmarks folder named "New Folder". It should not cause the chevron to
appear.

David, can you still repro this, or was it fixed at some point?

David, do you still see this problem? Just tried with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U;
WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030504 Mozilla Firebird/0.6 and it WFM. Will
try again with one of our XP boxes.

I don't see this problem anymore. I just discovered another problem though, the
chevron sometimes appear behind the last bookmark item. I'll attach a screenshot.

Attachment: Chevron behind the bookmark folder

Here's a screenshot of the problem. The bookmark folder that has the chevron
behind it is named "Daily". It should not be shown.

So now this bug is a dup of bug 180156, if only because that bug has a patch
awaiting review. :-)

Sorry, didn't know it was already filed. Backing summary change and resolving as
WORKSFORME.

I guess this should have been resolved as FIXED when pch checked in the new
bookmarks code.
