361397 - Twitching occurs in window if window width is less than critical width

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 247116

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, defect)

Description

[bugzilla]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20060601 Firefox/2.0 (Ubuntu-edgy)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20060601 Firefox/2.0 (Ubuntu-edgy)

With the bookmarks toolbar enabled, if the window is sized to a width smaller than the width of the first bookmark, the entire browser window twitches repeatedly. Easier to observe if the bookmarks toolbar is on the same row as the menu (File, Edit etc) as then critical width is larger - the window only has to be sized to less than total menu width + 1st bookmark.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Customize toolbars
2. Move bookmark toolbar items to same row as window menu
3. Reduce window width until all bookmarks on toolbar are clipped

Actual Results:  
Window twitches as firefox repeatedly attempts to create space and then fails.

Expected Results:  
Placed the >> button on the right hand side of the bar, and populate it's menu with all the bookmarks

Bug reproduced on latest nightly with default theme. Also reproduced on Ubunutu Edgey Eft and Windows XP SP2
