247100 - [polish] Inconsistent expand/collapse UI in preferences dialog.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 191524

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[Patrick]

In the preference panel under PRIVACY, only one option is expanded at the same
time. Clicking another options expands THAT one and collapses the first one.

But under ADVANCED you can expand/collapse each individual category as you like,
independent of the states of other categories.

Screenshots coming up.

other options.

this UI is all bring reworked, the privacy panel as it stands won't exist for
much longer.

Then why not add a dependency so this comment is taken into account for the new
pref panel?

Comment 5

[Mike Connor [:mconnor]]

because the plan is already there, and addresses this indirectly.

Comment 6

[Patrick]

In all honesty, i didn't read through all 30 pages from the mozillazine link
mentioned in bug 191524 but i didn't find anything about expand/collapse
behavior there?

Not trying to be difficult here [it comes natural ;)] but i don't see how this
dupe could've been avoided from bug 191524 description. 

Also Ben's comment
  "OK, here's what I have so far. Look at the pref_* images in this dir on my
   site: http://www.bengoodger.com/software/mb/"
doesn't help, because there don't appear to be any "pref" images there. 

After some sniffing i found them at 
  http://www.bengoodger.com/software/mb/options/
but if anything

seems to indicate that there's no automatic collapsing planned?

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