329761 - Bookmark properties window is rather tall

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect, P3)

Description

[Tuukka Tolvanen (sp3000)]

Bookmark properties is >3x the height of my screen and, after resizing, leaves bottom buttons and part of the folder tree box cropped. (I have a bunch of crufty old bookmark folders from, uh, the 90s or something)

Does this also fix Bug 329607 ?

Comment 4

[Tuukka Tolvanen (sp3000)]

no, I don't see any evidence of size persistence with this patch

Comment 5

[Joe Hughes]

Ria:  No, size isn't currently persisted.  I've assigned 329607 to myself.

Though it does fix the upper-bound size problem, the patch as shown creates extra space in the dialog when the user has very few bookmark folders.

Changing my mind to approve the patch now; this tag-style display is going away, but the patch provides temporary relief for some nightly users until that replacement occurs.

Bug 451915 - move Firefox/Places bugs to Firefox/Bookmarks and History. Remove all bugspam from this move by filtering for the string "places-to-b-and-h".

In Thunderbird 3.0b, you do that as follows:
Tools | Message Filters
Make sure the correct account is selected. Click "New"
Conditions: Body   contains   places-to-b-and-h
Change the action to "Delete Message".
Select "Manually Run" from the dropdown at the top.
Click OK.

Select the filter in the list, make sure "Inbox" is selected at the bottom, and click "Run Now". This should delete all the bugspam. You can then delete the filter.
