401470 - no scrollbar in Firefox bookmarks sidebar

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: XBL, defect)

Description

[Bill Gianopoulos [:WG9s]]

The vertical scrollbar no longer appears in the Bookmarks sidebar.

This has been verified via backout to be a regression from the check-in for bug 345711.

Comment 1

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

In that case, this is almost certainly in the wrong product (and has the wrong flags).  This should be in Core, and have the milestone set to M9 and blocking1.9? requested.

Comment 2

[Bill Gianopoulos [:WG9s]]

Since changing the product, it is no longer obvious that it is the Firefox bookmarks sidebar that is broken.

Comment 3

[Martijn Wargers (dead)]

The tree now has hidevscroll="true" still set even when content is overflowing.
hidevscroll is set here:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/toolkit/content/widgets/tree.xml#30
And the attribute should be removed during an overflow event:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/toolkit/content/widgets/tree.xml#880
So my guess would be that the tree doesn't get the overflow event for some reason.

As a workaround for the moment, I've discovered that if you close a folder (for example the Bookmarks Toolbar Folder) and then open it again, the scrollbar reappears.
