419930 - dropmarker (insertion point) of bookmark/history sidebar is not erased

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Masayuki Nakano [:masayuki] (he/him)(JST, +0900)]

I confirmed 2008022704-trunk/WinVista.

1. Open bookmarks or history sidebar.
2. Drag an link or bookmark item to over the sidebar. (you can see the feedback line between the items.)
3. Drag it to out of the window and drop it on there.

The feedback line is not erased. This cannot be reproduced on Library. On the Library, the feedback line is erased at the cursor moving to out of the widget.

STR:
- open the bookmarks sidebar so that it does not have scrollbar
- drag a bookmark to the right into the content

expected: the dropfeeback is erased
actual: dropfeedback persist

what i see is that nsTreeBodyFrame::handleEvent does not get a NS_DRAGDROP_EXIT event in this case, while it gets if you drag exit toward other chrome content. so it does not call invalidateDropFeedback

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.

I've just tested on FF 58 nightly & FF 56. I can't reproduce this on Windows or Mac. I suspect it was fixed sometime in the last few years.

Please feel free to re-open with updated STR if you can still reproduce it.
