confirmed Windows Server 2003 2003081515 trunk
to reproduce keep the "Managed Stored cookies" window opened with a cookie
highlited while you open a web site that sets a cookie
notice that the scrollbar looses its position

Also when deleting a cookie in Cookie Manager, the scrollbar resets to the top.
 The proper next cookie is still highlighted, and the scrollbar will reset to
the proper position when you use the up/down arrow keys.

Better fix for this whole problem would be to just leave the scrollbar entirely
unchanged no matter what updates are being made to the cookie database.  Just
home the scrollbar when you open the Cookie Manager window and that's it.

One more bug:

1.  Highlight one or more cookies
2.  Change sort order or sort column
3.  The wrong cookies are now highlighted

What happens is that the highlights remain in the same position rather than
following whatever cookies were highlighted (i.e. highlight cookie #5, abc.com;
change sort order and now the new cookie in position 5, xyz.com, is highlighted).

slightly different symptom to the other similar bugs, so not marking as a dupe
(just in case anyone else was thinking about it... ;)

this behaviour is also present on linux (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US;

a related bug: if you select a number of non-concurrent cookies to delete, they
look like they get deleted - they are greyed out and the text disappears, but in
fact the cookie manager fails and the cookies remain. this has been observed on
linux, mac, and windows.
