269311 - "Open containing folder" in the download manager not selecting object

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

[Richard Aspden]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Whilst the "Open containing folder" option on right clicking a downloaded file
actually opens the folder the file is in, it does not select the item. Right
clicking the object again in the download manager and re-selecting "Open
containing folder", the item is selected. Should this behaviour not be the default?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click a file in the download manager, clock open containing folder.
2. Repeat.

Actual Results:  
The first time, the folder simply opened.
The second time, the item was selected within the folder.

Expected Results:  
The folder to open, and the item to be selected.

This may be an optional thought, but as the file is selected upon doing it a
second time, I thought it may be a bug. It's a nice feature to have regardless.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
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.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
