27538 - Bookmarks without a title look terrible in menus

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect, P3)

Description

[David Hyatt]

Make a bookmark with no title.  It shows up as being only 2-3 pixels high when 
used in a menu.

We should probably create a title, e.g., (untitled), for any empty bookmarks and 
show that in the menu.

Wait, I was proposing a fix in the back end, not the front end.  The bookmarks 
look stupid in the tree view too.  I'm proposing that the RDF layer make up a 
title, e.g., (untitled), and then it would show up everywhere.  I don't think 
slamm should have to do this in the front end.

I'm not against seeing this fixed. However...

I believe that this should be fixed with CSS to ensure that menu items don't 
become 2-3 pixels high, instead of hacking the backend.

Why?  Due to aggregation, a user could end up aggregating in data (say, search 
results, or related links, or ...) that didn't specify a name, and we'd have the 
same problem.

A weak yet valid argument is that 4.x allows bookmarks without a title.  
Personally, I think having "(untitled)" has no more value than no title.

So, in terms of fixing the bookmark's menu being only a few pixels high, seems 
like CSS is the right answer.

David, opinions?

bookmarks with no title now have -->no title, but at least they don't screw up the menus.
