1796875 - The "Add bookmark" menu (star in urlbar) flickers when showing/hiding all the bookmarks folders

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1247925

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[tgn-ff]

Attachment: bookmark_star_button.webm

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:108.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/108.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Visit a site and click on the Star button in the urlbar.
2. In the Location section, click on the right-most arrow to show all the bookmarks folders.
3. Click again to hide it.
4. Repeat as necessary.

Actual results:

The menu flickers. If you go frame-by-frame in the video it seems the menu moves around.

Expected results:

Curiously, this isn't a (recent) regression at all. The build from 2020-01-01 is affected, and in the build from 2019-01-01 I can't open the star menu at all, I presume due to the GTK version.

:tgnff242, if you think that's a regression, could you try to find a regression range using for example mozregression?

Hi,

I am able to reproduce the issue in release 106, beta 107.0b3 and the latest nightly 108.0a1 (2022-10-24) using Windows 10 and Ubuntu 20. This is not a regression since I can reproduce it in Fx 66 as well.

Thanks for your input.

The fact that the intermediate state makes it to the screen feels like a layout/xul issue.
