407580 - overlong bookmarks list is invisible in fullscreen mode

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Benno Schulenberg]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071205 Firefox/2.0.0.11
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071205 Firefox/2.0.0.11

When the bookmarks list is longer than what fits vertically on the 
screen, hitting Alt+B while Firefox is in fullscreen mode won't show
the list of bookmarks.  The bookmark list is there -- because it is
possible to select for example the last entry with <Up> and <Enter>
-- but it is invisible.

After switching out of fullscreen mode (with F11), Alt+B shows the
bookmarks list fine, with tiny arrows at top and bottom.  After
deleting some bookmarks to make the list shorter than the vertical
size of the screen, Alt+B will show the bookmarks list also when in
fullscreen mode again.

Confirmed on Ubuntu Feisty, and on Gentoo.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Switch to fullscreen mode,
2. Keep adding the current page as a bookmark until...
3. Alt+B does not show the bookmarks list any more.
Actual Results:  
Invisible bookmarks list.

Expected Results:  
Bookmarks list should be visible, with tiny arrows at top and bottom.
