237738 - Dragging link to bookmarks sub-folder causes sub-folder to remain on screen.

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[JC]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113 MultiZilla/1.6.0.0a
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113 MultiZilla/1.6.0.0a

When dragging a link to the bookmarks into a sub-folder causes that bookmark
sub-folder to stay open on the screen until a previously saved bookmark (or the
newly added one) is clicked on.  The bookmark sub-folder stays open as if you
were looking at it.  The folder should normally disappear if you click elsewhere
on the screen.  This is not new to release 1.6 and also happens with standalone
mozilla (no plugins or addins like multizilla installed).  This has happened in
past releases as well, 1.4 and 1.5 as far as I can remember using.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Drag a link to the bookmarks menu into a sub-folder
2.  Drop it in the desired sub-folder.
3.  The location you dropped the link now stays open on the screen even if you
click elsewhere.

Actual Results:  
Bug reproduced.  Bookmark folder stays open until a previously saved bookmark is
clicked on.

Expected Results:  
Bookmark folder should close when mouse is moved off the menu and user clicks
elsewhere on the screen.

This happens with default theme as well as others.

highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
