184650 - Bookmarks not highlighting when moving from a folder

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Brad Garcia]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021206
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021206

linux x86 2002-12-06-05

After left-clicking on the "Bookmarks" entry in the menu bar, I
highlight one of my bookmark folders.

If I then move the mouse to an adjacent entry (up or down), the new
entry will sometimes NOT get highlighted.

There is some timing involved here.  You have to move the mouse
pointer to the new entry and then stop moving the mouse BEFORE the
display of the previous bookmark folder's contents disappears.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
See above

Actual Results:  
bookmark entry is not highlighted.
If the new entry is a folder, the folder contents are also
not displayed.

Expected Results:  
Entry should always be highlighted.

unable to reproduce with Mozilla 1.7 beta.

I can still reproduce this quite easily with the latest nightly build.

Mozilla 1.7b
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040323
Build ID: 2004032308

Given the timing involved, it is probably easier to reproduce this on an older
machine.  I can easily reproduce this on a P-3 500MHz machine running Red Hat 9
Linux.  I just highlight  a bookmark item, then quickly tap the mouse up or
down.  Usually, the entry that it lands on will not get highlighted.

I also have a Centrino 1.3GHz machine running windows, and I am completely
unable to reproduce the problem there.  So please try to reproduce on an older
machine.

I have same problem with Firefox 1.5.0.1 (Windows XP. View, Go, partially Bookmarks (all under Firefox and Mozilla Information folder) and partially Tools menu (Adblock Plus and DownThemAll menu items) seems to be affected. Highlight blinks when you move cursor otherwise it is not shown at all, folders are not opened. Restarting Firefox corrects problem for a while.

This maybe related to memory usage, because it seems to show up when Firefox uses more than 50MB of memory and sometimes it disappears when memory usage goes down. I noticed this first time in 1.5 and it is not solved in 1.5.0.1.
