350347 - Editable trees don't work for RDF trees with flags="dont-build-content"

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: XUL, enhancement)

Description

[Nickolay_Ponomarev]

Only filing this because http://wiki.mozilla.org/XUL:Tree#Editable_Tree gives a faint promise to implement this in future.

STR:
1. Download http://www.xulplanet.com/tutorials/xultu/animals.rdf
2. Save the below text to a xul file in the same directory
3. Open the XUL file
4. Double click an item
5. Edit the cell's text
6. Hit Enter

Actual results:
The cell text is not modified.

Expected results:
The cell text is changed to the value entered in the input box.

I don't think anyone is going to work on this given the plan to remove the XUL "tree" widget (bug 1446335).
