269963 - Bookmarks menu should remain visible after context-menu sorting

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 195031

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Ney André de Mello Zunino]

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

The "sort by name" feature works fine from the context menu, rearranging the
items on the current level. However, the bookmarks menu is hidden as the user
activates the command. This makes it rather annoying and cumbersome to sort a
couple of folders, particularly when they are deep in the bookmarks hierarchy.
In addition, letting the user see the change would make it a lot more intuitive.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the bookmarks menu.
2. Navigate to some folder you wish to sort, preferably one deep in the hierarchy.
3. Bring up the context menu and activate "Sort by name".

Actual Results:  
The chosen folder did get sorted, but the bookmarks menu (all the levels)
disappeared.

Expected Results:  
The menus should have been kept visible so that the user could spot the sorting
changes instantly and also be able to sort some other folder nearby, without
having to reopen all the menu levels once again.
