211743 - Some left (double) clicks on the bookmarks toolbar folders are ignored

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Stephane Chauveau]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030630 Mozilla Firebird/0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030630 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

Clicking on a folder name in the bookmark toolbar does not always open or close
the corresponding menu.  The problem seems to be related to the double click
detection. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a bookmark toolbar with a least 2 folders
2. Open the menu of the first folder
3. Click on the second folder name. This should close the first menu
4. Immediately click a second time to open the second menu. 

If you are faster than the 'Double click Delay' then nothing happens. 
You may have to click a third time or even a fourth time to finally 
open the menu. I find this anoying because it gives the impression that
Firebird is not responsive. 

This behavior is easier to reproduce with a high 'Double-click Delay'.









My system characteristics are 
  Linux 2.5.67 - Debian Unstable - Gnome 2.2 - XFree86 4.3 - Sawfish

WFM on win2k builds, even with mouse delay slowed way down.  Can this be
reproduced on Mozilla trunk builds?

I just downloaded the latest nighties for Mozilla and FireBird (2003070408)
and the problem appears to be gone so I consider it resolved. I will check
Firebird 0.7 as soon as it is released.  

For the record, I was also able to reproduce this on Mozilla 1.3.1 (Linux).

It may not be solved after all! The Debian version of Firebird 
uses gtk2 while the nightlies are still built with the outdated 
gtk1.2.  
I cannot consider the problem solved unless I can verify it on 
a recent build using gtk2.

Stephane, try a nightly build from the timeframe that was failing (i.e. 0630)
and see if the problem exists in that build.  If so, the bug is indeed fixed.

On the other hand, if that is not the case and you cannot replicate this with
older nightly builds, please provide as much information about the build
options/environment for the failing builds.

I could not reproduce it with the nightly 0630-17.

I don't have a lot more information about this build. This is
the current official Debian package mozilla-firebird_0.6-8_i386.deb

you can get more information about this package at
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/web/mozilla-firebird.html

My opinion is still that this related to gtk2.

PS: dont bother to ask more info during the next 2 weeks! I am out :-)

I just installed the latest Debian package for Mozilla 1.4 (not firebird) 
and the problem is still there:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030704 Debian/1.4-1

This is also a gtk2 build!
I reopen.

taking QA contact, sorry about the bugspam

Comment 9

[Mike Connor [:mconnor]]

Confirming for now, GTK2-specific

Comment 10

[Mike Connor [:mconnor]]

Definitely can confirm using Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5b)
Gecko/20030825 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1+ official GTK2+XFT build

Odd little bug...

sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs, filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change

Some time in the intervening 3.5 years, we seem to have started opening toolbar menus on hover, so it's not possible to click on the second to close the first, what with the way the first closes and the second opens as so as you come near it.
