Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050703 Firefox/1.0+

In Tools > Options > Downloads > Download Actions > View & Edit Actions, clicks
on column headers are misinterpreted:

Right-clicking acts as a left-click and sorts by the column's contents; should
show a menu of available columns

Double-clicking or double-right-clicking, including on the choose columns icon
above the scroll-bar, opens the Change Action dialogue for the first item in the
list; should act as two single clicks

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Tools > Options > Downloads > Download Actions > View & Edit Actions
2. Right-click a column header
3. Double-click a column header
4. Double-right-click a column header
5. Double-click the choose columns icon above the scroll-bar
6. Double-right-click the choose columns icon above the scroll-bar
7. Right-click the choose columns icon above the scroll-bar
Actual Results:  
2. Sorts by the column's contents
3. Sorts by the column's contents, reverses the order, opens the Change Action
dialogue for the first item in the list
4. Sorts by the column's contents, reverses the order, opens the Change Action
dialogue for the first item in the list
5. Shows the list of available columns, opens the Change Action dialogue for the
first item in the list
6. Opens the Change Action dialogue for the first item in the list
7. Nothing

Expected Results:  
2. Show the list of available columns
3. Sort by the column's contents, reverse the order
4. Show the list of available columns
5. Show the list of available columns
6. Not sure; Thunderbird interprets this as a (double-)right-click on the first
item in the list but that doesn't seem quite right; should probably show the
list of available columns
7. Not sure; Thunderbird interprets this as a right-click on the first item in
the list but that doesn't seem quite right; should probably show the list of
available columns

Confirming. The sort feature by clicking on any of the column headers seems to
be totally borked. If you click on them multiple times you elimitate certain
types of extensions/filetypes.

Several issues in this bug will be fixed by bug 301204.

Comment 3

[Adam Guthrie]

Yep. The patch for bug 301204 did fix this. Resolving as fixed.

Comment 4

[Caleb]

The patch for bug 301204 only fixed the issue mentioned in comment 1, yet the
issues mentioned in comment 0 are still present.

I'll see if I can figure out what's going on here..

Comment 5

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

we'd consider additional changes but not going to block on it. 

Comment 6

[Jeremy M. Dolan]

Since this is a tracking bug of sorts, thought I'd mention this here. Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1

In the download actions window, if I add the MIME-Type column header, it is not resizable. It is added with a very large width, and thereby prevents the "Action" column from being viewed as all.  The first two resizers work fine, with or without the MIME-Type header being displayed. If anyone can reproduce, file a new bug perhaps--301296 doesn't look set to fix this issue.

Comment 7

[Adam Guthrie]

Jeremy, the issue you mentioned is bug 299594, which is fixed on trunk.

Comment 8

[Tyler Downer [He/Him]]

I don't belive this dialog even exists anymore in Firefox 4 does it?

Comment 9

[Myk Melez [:myk] [@mykmelez]]

No, it doesn't exist anymore.  It was replaced by the Applications pane.
