336098 - Often cannot select extensions or EM scrolls to the wrong position

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 330073

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[Dave Townsend [:mossop]]

This is an issue with the new Add-ons UI that makes it quite difficult to work with. Basically if you try to select an extension when the previously selected extension is scrolled out of view you seem to hit problems.

To reproduce:

1. Have the Add-ons open with a number of extensions so the scroll bar appears.
2. Select the first extension.
3. Scroll down to the bottom and select the last extension.

At this point the EM scrolls back to the top and the first extension is still selected.

4. Scroll down to the bottom and select the last extension.

Now the last extension is selected, but often the EM scrolls to a different place about half way down so the newly selected extension is no longer visible.

I could be wrong but I suspect that this is the same issue as with bug 334765.

I don't see this with the patches applies to branch and am quite sure what you are seeing is bug 330073
