278099 - Sidebar autoscrolls to a selected item when resizing

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 170045

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Percy Cabello]

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

If you resize the sidebar (tried with Bookmarks and History) while the focus is
on  an item currently not displayed, it will autoscroll to the focused item.

It's annoying because my main reason to resize is to read a complete title
whether it's focused (selected) or not.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select an item in History/Bookmarks sidebar
2. Scroll until the selected item is not displayed
3. Resize the sidebar

Actual Results:  
The sidebar autoscrolls to display the selected item.

Expected Results:  
Stay where it was

Do you mean resize the sidebar wider?

I suggest asking for a tooltip to how the the full title (and 
optionally the URL on a second line)

See Bug 170045 "Resizing sidebar scrolls Bookmarks/History to selected bookmark"
