203898 - Folders in Bookmarks Toolbar stay Expanded if menu was closed with right-click operation on content

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 203899

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, defect)

Description

[Atsushi Nakagawa]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030429 Mozilla Firebird/0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030429 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

If the dropdown menu to folder in the Bookmarks Toolbar is closed as a result of
a right-click operation on one of the bookmarks contained in that folder, the
folder, although the corresponding menu is no longer displayed, will remain in
an "Expanded" internal state.

[internal state = the state of an arbitary code layer beneath the GUI.]

An "Expanded" state describes the state that is the opposite to the "Collapsed"
state.

In the expanded state, the folder button in the Bookmarks Toolbar responds to
mouse-overs by altering its edges to make a button appear "depressed".  Upon
right-clicking directly on the folder name, a context-menu is presented with the
first item being the word "Collapse" in bold.  In this state, key presses are
stolen by an invisible focus.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start the browser [in a new profile].
2. Right-click on the Bookmarks Toolbar and select "New Folder".
3. Click OK to close the Properties window that popped up.
4. Fill the folder with at least one bookmark [or folder*].
5. Left-click on the newly created folder name to expand its menu.
(Note: "Click" as opposed to "Click & Hold".)
6. Right-click on any bookmark in the expanded drop down menu.
7. Click "Copy".  (It doesn't matter operation in the menu is performed here.)

*Works with folder as content instead of bookmark but harder to reproduce.
Actual Results:  
The folder is still "Expanded" even though the drop down menu is no longer
displayed.

Expected Results:  
Stay in sync with GUI.

Apparent "Connection Timeout", as reported by this browser, caused this 
duplicate.
