323668 - "Choose Folder" box in Manage Bookmarks doesn't remember settings when resized.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 300988

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[David Radnedge]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

The box/window I specifically refer to is "Choose Folder" at Bookmarks -> Bookmarks Manager -> [select bookmark or folder] Move -> Choose Folder.

With other boxes/windows it is a simple matter of placing the mouse cursor on the box perimeter and resizing. For example the boxes/windows "Exceptions" and "View Cookies" at Tools, Options, Privacy, retain their resized values.
 
With the "Choose Folder" box, resizing by this method doesn't "hold" - the new size is not remembered. The next opening of the box finds it to be the original [default] size again. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Bookmarks -> Bookmarks Manager -> [select bookmark or folder] Move -> Choose Folder.
2.  Resize "Choose Folder" box.
3.  Close "Choose Folder" box.
4.  Repeat step 1.

Actual Results:  
The "Choose Folder" box which appears at step 4 is the same [default] size as the box which appeared at step 1. 

Expected Results:  
The "Choose Folder" box appearing at step 4 should have been the same size as the resized box at step 2.

My Firefox 1.5 installation is basically standard, with the following extensions installed:

FLST 0.8.5
Download Manager Tweak 0.7.1
Copy All Urls 0.5.0
BBCodeXtra 0.2.5.4
All-in-One gestures 0.17.3
SwiftTabs 0.3.2.3
Bookmark Backup 0.3.3
Add Bookmark Here 0.5.5
Titlebar Tweaks 1.7.0

WFM. Probably the localstore.rdf in your profile is corrupted. If you delete the
file it will be regenerated automatically.

Seems to be only in 1.5
Works in trunk - Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060116 Firefox/1.6a1 ID:2006011606)
Fails in 1.5 - Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5 ID:2005111116)

(In reply to comment #2)
Yes I see the same. I'll try to find out when it happened for the first time. In a 12 Aug build I see a parsing error.

The parsing error Bug 305216 has nothing to do with it but it fixed probably this resize problem in trunk (was fixed on 27 Aug).
It regressed between 1.8b2_2005061606 and 1.8b2_2005061706.

Probably Bug 214754.
