18851 - disapearing sidebar grippy when resising sidebar

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Sidebar, defect, P3)

Description

[phil]

On Win NT 4 SP5 nightly built 110809

1 open mozilla (all default settings)
2 click on bookmarks
3 click and drag the light blue 'grippy' to resize
 the sidebar to the left: do not reduce the size
 after the final 'd' in "What's related".
4 click and drag the light blue 'grippy' to resize
 past the final 'd' in "What's related". Observe that
 the grippy and the dark blue vertical sidebar window
 separation line, disapears.

If you start that with your browser window short enough
to make visible the vertical scrolling bar (in the sidebar)
window, you see that when you resize down the sidebar
window, the scroll bar will not move after the point
where the grippy disapears.

My guess is that if the final 'd' in "What's related"
triggers that it is because it's the longest title.

A workaround might be to have a minimum width be the size of the longest title,
if that is indeed the cause.

I guess this is a box bug perhaps? The splitter doesn't extend all the way down
the sidebar at a certain minimum width.

For your workaround; the manual resizing could be
limited to the longuest word, but the collapsing
should still be possible (by clicking the grippy).

Making the sidebar resize as you drag is slower than molasses.
Marking wontfix. Sorry. I would like this too.

Comment 4

[Paul MacQuiddy]

slamm, should this be marked later, instead of won't fix? This seems like
something that should be fixed eventually.

Comment 5

[Steve Lamm]

You are right, LATER would be a better resolution.
