383007 - for folders (and livemarks) in the personal toolbar, show the full name of the folder in the tooltip, if the name is cropped

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 445000

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

for folders (and livemarks) in the personal toolbar, show the full name of the folder in the tooltip, if the name is cropped

we do something similar for tree cells.

spun off of bug #382896

note, after the fix for bug #382896 lands, we will not show any tooltips for folders, which is what firefox 2 does.

Is this something that still needs to be fixed, since bug#382895 is fixed?

Attachment: wip

this is laying around on my disk, what does do:
- add tooltip for LivemarkContainer and Folder
what does not do
- check if they are open (containerOpen is mantained true for perf reasons so you can't rely on that)
- check if folder label is cropped (not sure how this can be done)

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.
