Moving this to theme, I am not sure if it should have filed there to begin with.

You don't have to resize the dialog to see this behavior. Simply choose "Show All History" and you will see it. I think that I will have the regression range soon.

Regressed between following builds:

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9b3pre) Gecko/2008012904 Minefield/3.0b3pre

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9b3pre) Gecko/2008013004 Minefield/3.0b3pre

There is a huge amount of patches within this time:

It happens for new profiles. You only have to open the Library and select an entry under History. It looks like that unnecessary elements aren't hidden.

[Mike Beltzner [:beltzner, not reading bugmail]]

I wonder if this is related to bug 407541?

Comment 7

[Mike Connor [:mconnor]]

Its very related, and both are likely to be fixed at the same time...

Comment 8

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+1]]

Also happens with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9pre) Gecko/2008032705 Minefield/3.0pre ID:2008032705

Fixed in bug 407541.

Asaf, what about the more/less button? In the current state it is useless. Nothing can be expanded/collapsed. Could it be also hidden? Should I file a follow-up bug?

The tagging feature looks great and saves some time when trying to tag a history item.

Yes, please do.

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.
