337734 - Wrong bookmark opens when Ctrl+T is pressed

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Carsten Otto]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.13) Gecko/20060418 Firefox/1.0.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.13) Gecko/20060418 Firefox/1.0.8

Whene I press on the ">>" button at the end of the toolbar the one missing bookmark pops out. If I then move the mouse at a certain part of this bookmark (so that it is highligted) and press CTRL+T (new tab) a totally different bookmark is opened. This does not always work, as I have to move the mouse around and press CTRL+T many times, but I can reproduce this very fast.
The overlapping bookmark is a single bookmark, whereas the opened site belongs to the first entry in a bookmark folder (which is several places to the left, even after another bookmark folder).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Fill the toolbar so that one item does not fit.
2. Move the mouse over this link (after pressing on ">>")
3. Press CTRL+T and move the mouse around until a new tab opens (with a different bookmarked site)

Actual Results:  
A bookmarked site opens (in the same tab).

Expected Results:  
An empty tab should open I guess.

I can provide a screenshot of my toolbar or perhaps even the actual bookmarks file if needed.

This particular bookmark folder begins with "t" and is the only one with that letter. Another users has the same experience. I can open my single Bookmark starting with "f" by pressing CTRL+F, but CTRL+S opens the save dialog.

Can you reproduce this with an official build of the latest version of Firefox? (1.5.0.3)

Comment 3

[Carsten Otto]

Yes, I just checked with Windows-FF 1.5.0.3.

Comment 4

[Philip Withnall (unavailable)]

Can you provide a screenshot of your bookmarks toolbar please?

Comment 5

[Carsten Otto]

I can, but I won't, because the bug appears on any system (that I know) and can be reconstructed very fast. As a sidenote, a picture of my toolbar won't help at all.

Reporter, do you still see this problem with the latest Firefox 2? If not, can you please close this bug as WORKSFORME. Thanks!

Bulk closing all UNCONFIRMED bugs dealing with places that haven't had any bug activity in over 120 days, have no votes, and are not enhancement requests.

If you are still experiencing this issue in Firefox 3.0 or later, please re-open the bug with steps to reproduce (if they were not part of the original comment).

This does not occur with my current FF (Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092814 Iceweasel/3.0.3 (Debian-3.0.3-3)), so I am fine with that.
