Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[hugo van woerkom]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030712
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030712

If there is no internet connection and you start Moz. it will put up a message
that so-and-so could not be found. After clicking "OK" the personal toolbar will
not have the '>>' to extend the selection.

I looked for a bug like this and could not find it, but may be I looked wrong.
I apologize.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Do not connect to the internet
2.start mozilla
3.warning message will show
4.acknowledge warning

Actual Results:  
personal toolbar is not extendable

Expected Results:  
Show the '>>' at the end of the personal toolbar like it does when it comes up
without a warning.

This also happens with Mozilla 1.4 Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US;
rv:1.4) Gecko/20030731.
The behavior is: (with no internet) mozilla comes up, draws the Personal Toolbar
with only 'home' and 'bookmarks' then puts up a warning popup that it cannot
find the home page. When this is acknowledged it paints the rest of the personal
toolbar but without the '>>'.
The problem seems to be that there are 2 ways of painting the personal toolbar:
after a warning popup and without such a popup.
Hugo.

-> All, as I´m seeing this on Win98, and the dupe in WinXP.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8a2) Gecko/20040714

At first, I thought there is no relation to having an errormessage at start, as
I and the dupe don´t see one.
But JS-Console shows three erromessages from chrome, line 766, 782 and 786:

Warning: redeclaration of var column
Source File: chrome://global/content/bindings/tree.xml
Line: 766, Column: 18
Source Code:
              var column = tree.columns.getColumnFor(sib);

Line: 782, Column: 20
                var column = tree.columns.getColumnFor(sib);

Line: 786, Column: 16
            var column = tree.columns.getColumnFor(targetCol);

Attachment: 6 kb screenshot, no chevrons before first resize

I´ve got 18 folders in my PT, 4 more in the overflow, and some bookmarks and
groupmarks. Notice the half cut folder icon at the edge.
I´ve been browsing for some time, as you can see on the size of the tabs.

one and a half folders are gone, replaced by the chevron.

I cannot reproduce 2004101706-trunk/Win98.
WORKSFORME?

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041016

When I loaded this bugpage in a new window by clicking on the link in gmail, the
bug was shortly seen in the Personal Toolbar, but the chevron restored, when the
bug page fully loaded.
When I opened Help->About Mozilla, to cut&paste the version string, the chevron
was missing again. Deleted the window, repeated, bug seen again. Could reproduce
for some retries, then I failed to reproduce. Will investigate further.

still seen
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041031

Used zip build unzipped into new directory, used new profile, opened some
mozilla links from the start page, and dragged them into the PersonalToolbar
until the chevron was seen.
Closed browser and reopened, chevron wasn´t seen, but JS console was showing a
warning, Mozilla 1.7 start page shows a warning when used with a current 1.8

I made startpage a blank page, closed browser and reopened, bug still seen, so
this bug doesn´t depend on a warning.

In a Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8a6) Gecko/20050111
version, the bug is still unsolved...

Does the profile manager count as a "warning message"?  Does *anything* in the
javascript console (i.e. comment #4) count?  I experience this bug 100% of the
time (I think...), and I can think of a few hackish ways to fix this, and have a
guess at what the correct fix is.  I don't see any warning messages though.

right side of personal toolbar before resize

No warning message is needed: just a long personal toolbar. 3 steps always
needed for startup maximized:
1. startup
2. resize
3. maximize

If this is because of a maximized window, then there is already a bug filed for
that. Otherwise, I don't see any effect of the warning message.

This problem occurred after 1.8a4, which does not have the problem

Comment 20

[Tom Schneider]

As was noted by some comments on this bug, it doesn't have anything to do with
warnings (for my cases, anyway).

May I suggest changing the title of this bug 214007 to that of bug 309471?
Bug 309471's title is '"Personal Toolbar Folder" chevron missing' is more general
and descriptive.

Reassigning as per Bug #32644

Comment 22

[Chris Thomas (CTho) [formerly [e-mail] [e-mail]]]

Should this be duped to bug 338803?

Comment 23

[Philip Chee]

Probably fixed by moving to Places bookmarks.
