197802 - Useless menu items when right-clicking on an empty zone of the Bookmarks toolbar

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Sébastien Delahaye]

When right-clicking on an empty zone of the bookmarks toolbar, the following
context menu pops up:

New Folder...
----------
Cut
Copy
Paste
----------
Delete
----------
Properties

4 menu items (cut, copy, paste and delete) and 2 menuseparators are useless in
this case. The context menu should only contain

New Folder...
----------
Properties


David, can you reproduce it on Linux too?

Comment 1

[David P James]

Seen in Linux too. I'm not sure those items should disappear but they should
definitely be greyed out at the very least (only paste is sometimes greyed out).

Comment 2

[David Tenser [:djst]]

Paste should still work.

Comment 3

[Sébastien Delahaye]

Yeah, paste can be useful, I forgot that. However, it should be greyed out when
there is no bookmark in the clipboard.

I am not seeing this. When the bookmark sidebar is open, there is always a
bookmark, separator, or folder selected. Right clicking anywhere on the sidebar
tree panel causes the context menu for the selected item to come up. WFM.

WFM with a 20040131 build on W2K.
When I click on an empty zone in the bookmarks toolbar the Cut, Copy, and Delete
context-menuitems are greyed out. The New Folder, Paste, and Properties items
are active.
