Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

[Dan Crow]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050506 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050506 Firefox/1.0+

In the 20050506 nightly build on Mac OS X its very hard to open sub-menus of a
menu of Bookmarks in the Personal Toolbar. This is *not* a problem with
sub-menus of menus attached to the main menu bar: these work as expected. I have
a number of bookmark menus on my Personal Toolbar. Most of these menus have
sub-menus. In Firefox 1.0.3 I can open these sub-menus by mousing over the name
of the sub-menu (which highlights) then moving the mouse right into the
sub-menu. In nightly build 20050506, I open a bookmark menu and highlight the
sub-menu name as before, but when I mouse right to open the sub-menu what
normally happens is the sub-menu I am trying to get to disappears and the name
of the menu on the Personal Toolbar is highlighted (i.e. focus is lost on the
main menu). I can sometimes get to the sub-menu, but this is extremely hard to
achieve, often taking 10-20 attempts. I never had this problem in 1.0.3.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In the Manage Bookmarks dialog, create a folder in the Personal Toolbar
Folder. Create at least two sub-folders within that folder and add bookmarks to
both of them. Close the Manage BookMarks folder.
2. The new folder has appeared as a menu on your Personal Toolbar
3. Attempt to navigate to and open one of the bookmarks in the second
sub-folder. The first sub-folder is often accessible.

Actual Results:  
Very difficult to open the second sub-folder of bookmarks

Expected Results:  
Should be as easy to open the second (and subsequent) sub-folders as it is to
open the first.

Vanilla install of nightly build 20050506, but with AdBlock extension installed
(I don't believe AdBlock is the culprit)

I see this behavior occasionally, but cannot pin down the cause at this time.
Verifying since it does happen.
