323215 - Personal toolbar doesn't show overflow extension "chevron" icon after restarting

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Wolfram Rittmeyer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de-AT; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051219 SeaMonkey/1.0b
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de-AT; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051219 SeaMonkey/1.0b

I have a lot of bookmarks in my personal toolbar. So normally on the right side I get an icon indicating that there are more. Clicking on it opens a drop-down list of the bookmarks not displayable in the first row.

After restarting Seamonkey, I do not get this icon and its functionality. I first have to resize the suite before the icon reappears. This has to be done after all restarts!

This bug is reproducible on Windows and Linux using Seamonkey 1.0b.

A screenshot will be attached.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add so many bookmarks to your personal toolbar so that you get the "more items" icon.
2. Close Seamonkey.
3. Reopen.
4. notice the missing icon.
5. Resize and notice the reappearing icon.

Actual Results:  
after any closing, the icon and its functionality disappears until I resize again.

Expected Results:  
The icon should be visible as soon as seamonkey is visible.

Attachment: Picture of an overly large personal toolbar without the icon for "more items"

This screenshot show the relevant area of the suite. That is the right end of the personal toolbar where there should be an icon if there are more bookmarks available in the toolbar.

Wolfram,

1- can you try with a more recent build?
"be sure that you've reproduced your bug using a build released within the past three days. Our development process moves at lightning speed, and the bug you've found may already have been fixed."

2- "This bug is reproducible on Windows and Linux"
If this is still the case with a recent build, then please indicate OS -> All

3- The "more items" icon is like a ">>", right? Then its usual name is Chevron (also sometimes called extended personalbar): this will be useful if we need to search for a duplicate bug.

Duplicate of bug 310776?

I'll also pipe in and say that this has been showing up for me as well. This has been evident in pre-1.0 releases, the 1.0 release, and also now the 1.5b release that I just compiled from the CVS download today.

This has all been evident with GTK2 versions of the build in linux, specifically on debian systems.

Can you guys try with tomorrow's nightly build?

Bug 338803 was apparently fixed recently. Don't know if the patch was checked in though.

It was as of rv 1.8.0.6 (SeaMonkey 1.8.0.6). Maybe we can consider this one as "FIXED"?

Xavier and Wolfram:
I'm resolving this bug as FIXED thanks to the patch in bug 338803. If the problem still occurs, then make sure you're using a recent build, so that we are "sure that you've reproduced your bug using a build released within the past three days."

I've replaced "more items" with "overflow extension 'chevron'" in the summary to help finding this bug

Resolving as FIXED

Using the latest nightly this one seems to be fixed and works fine on Linux and Mac OS X. Thanks!
