316093 - Bookmarks in menu are not selected until mouse hovers over text

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Andrew MacKinnon]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051107 Firefox/1.5

When I try to select bookmarks in the bookmarks menu of Firefox 1.5 RC2, the bookmarks cannot be selected unless the mouse is directly over the text outline (not over the box around it). This is annoying and does not occur with any other menu items or under Windows.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a Linux GTK2 version of Firefox 1.5 RC2.
2. Add a bookmark.
3. Try to select it. Notice that it is not selected unless you place your mouse directly over the text itself.
Actual Results:  
Bookmark does not appear selected and is not clickable unless you put your mouse directly over the text font outline.

Expected Results:  
Bookmark is selectable like any other menu item (just have to place the cursor on the correct line).

The bug seems to have suddenly disappeared. No explanation.

This seems to happen when I have been running Firefox for a while, but it disappears when I restart it.

Can you reproduce this with a latest release or nightly build of Firefox 2 or 3?

If not, please resolve this bug as WORKSFORME. Thanks!
