Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Jared Greeno]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9b5pre) Gecko/2008030904 Minefield/3.0b5pre

If you double click on a history window column header as if to change the sort order, the currently highlighted entry in the history seems to get loaded in the browser window instead.  A double-click event seems to be required; two single clicks will not cause the problem.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Ensure there will be some history in the history window (browse to some sites)
2. Open the history window
3. Double-click on a column heading, they all seem to do it
Actual Results:  
The highlighted entry in the history gets loaded in the browser and the browser window is brought to the foreground.

Expected Results:  
The sort order of the history should change twice, i.e. unset -> ascending -> descending.

Tested on both Mac and Linux with tonight's nightly build.
