When I goto customize menu to drag Flexible Space, I draged it right to the
toolbar in between the address bar and the search bar. After I press done, the
flexible space is disabled, I cannot resize the search bar, It's too short.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. I right click on the toolbar and choose customize
2. I drag flexible space to the toolbar in between the address bar and the
search bar.
3. I press done

Actual Results:  
Nothing happened, It didabled the flexible Space, and id disappears after I
press done in the customize menu.

Expected Results:  
It needs to be fixed, because the search bar is too short.

AFAIUI you can't have a flexable space in such a position, since the URL bar is
already flexable (in that it resizes to as big as it can). So this is expected
behaviour.

The search bar is too short, it needs to be longer.
It needs more room... That was the reason I wanted 
to put it there. I cannot resize the searchbar..

There's an extension that allows you resize the search bar. Placing flexible
space between the location and search bar wouldn't make search bar resizable.
What exact behavior do you expect in that case?

Is this still a valid bug? Try to confirm it with a nightly build
http://www.mozilla.org/developer and report back whether this issue is still
pertinent.

Otherwise, this bug will be marked INVALID for for inactivity in excess of 60
days (pre-1.0.4). I am self-assigning to track this bug and will reassign to
original owner if this bug is still valid.
