424727 - Dragging to Bookmark toolbar, tooltip overlay covers drop target

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 312852

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, defect)

Description

[Paul Tran]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-GB; rv:1.9b4) Gecko/2008030317 Firefox/3.0b4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-GB; rv:1.9b4) Gecko/2008030317 Firefox/3.0b4

When dragging to the bookmark toolbar, a tooltip appears which persists and covers drop targets, such as bookmark folders. This forces users to do their drag to add bookmark operation quickly before the tooltip appears.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go some website via the location bar, ie. www.google.com
2. Drag the website's favicon to the bookmark toolbar.
3. A tooltip will appear: 'Drag and drop this icon to create a link to this page'.
Actual Results:  
A tooltip overlays the area in which the mouse hovers over the bookmark toolbar, thereby covering potential drop targets such as bookmark folders within the bookmark toolbar.

Expected Results:  
Tooltip appears as expected, but impedes usability.

Confirmed; I see this too.

What I see on Windows may not be the same bug for I see a different tooltip: "This website does not supply identity information" but annoying as well because you have to wait until the tooltip disappears.

This bug may be a duplicate of bug 312852, which is Mac-only.
