296761 - after deleting an item from the bookmark menu, the menu disappears.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 195031

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Tony A.A.]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-GB; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-GB; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

When manipulating the bookmark menu items using the mouse 'right-click' context
menu (tested only with deletion), the bookmark menu disappears. The menu should
stay open ready for more commands.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. click 'Bookmarks' menu
2. highlight an item with the mouse pointer
3. right-click on the highlighted item
4. select 'delete' from the context menu

Actual Results:  
The selected item is successfully deleted. However, the bookmarks menu is closed
and recuires reopening.

Expected Results:  
After the selected item is deleted, the menu should remain open to allow for
commands. The user did not request a change in context (e.g., left-click on an
item to change to the page it points to). The user is still operating in the
Bookmarks context, so there is not reason to close the context, and it is very
inconvenient.

Often, while searching for a bookmark item in the bookrmarks menu, I find an
item that I no longer need (or it's a deadlink). I'd like to delete it right
there, without opening the bookmarks manager, and then continue with looking for
my item. This bug (or feature?) makes the above senario inconvenient.
