Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 370737

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.7) Gecko/20070914 Firefox/2.0.0.7

When working with an elaborate folder structure, one can frequently have a structure like this
\folderA
 -- subfolder1
 -- subfolder2
 -- subfolder3
\folderB
 -- subfolder1
 -- subfolder1\subfolder1
 -- subfolder2\subfolder1
 -- subfolder3

If subfolder1 is in the favorite or recent list, one cannot tell, which of them is meant.

When using a recent or favorite folder, e.g. in "Move To -> Recent" the full folder path, not just the folder name, should be in some way shown/indicated, e.g. in a tooltiptext.

i.e. when hovering over subfolder1 in "move to -> recent" the tooltiptext would show "/folderB/subfolder1/subfolder1" (or similar) and it then can be distinguished from other subfolder1s.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
selecting a folder in moveto->recent (or in the folder pane) only the shortname of the folder is shown

Expected Results:  
hovering over the shortname of the folder should show the full folder path
