This bug is similar to TB Bug 302516.

If the Bookmarks manager is restored down (i.e., is not maximized) and the list
of bookmarks exceeds the window height, resizing causes the Bookmarks Manager to
scroll to the top of the list.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Restore down the bookmarks manager
2. Scroll down through the bookmarks list
3. Resize the height of the window
Actual Results:  
Bookmarks list scrolls to the top

Expected Results:  
Scroll position does not change as window is resized

Confirmed.
I see this also in Mozilla1.7, so no (recent) regression

More precisely, it scrolls to make the selected item visible.

Which I understand is by design even when the selected item was already hidden.

The bookmark manager is *supposed* to scroll (vertically) when you resize it (horizontally)?  I find that hard to believe.

The comment from attachment 96245 [details] [diff] [review] to bug 163404 just says "make sure that the current selected item is still visible after the tree changes size." I don't see any attempt to determine the direction in which the tree changed size.

Dupe of bug 170045, no?  Or dependent thereon.
