User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.11) Gecko/2009060309 Ubuntu/8.04 (hardy) Firefox/3.0.11

The actual problem comes from scrollbox not scrolling automatically(or content not resized), when it is resized to have more space than before. One way to demonstrate this is with bookmark menu, since it is scrollable menu. This is done using N900.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Bookmark menu needs to have more than 6 bookmarks, so that it can be scrolled
in landscape mode, but less than the amount needed for it to be scrolled in
portrait mode. So 7 will do if you are using N900.
2. Open bookmark menu in landscape mode
3. Scroll down so that the end of the page is reached and bookmarks on top are
not visible anymore.
4. Rotate the device to get the portrait mode.
5. Notice how the view is the same that was in the landscape -> scrollbox wont
scroll automatically the content so that all content would be visible even
though there is enough space for all the content.
6. Try to scroll to the bookmarks left out to get them visible again.

Actual Results:  
Bookmarks that are not visible can't be accessed before going back to landscape
mode or before closing the menu and opening it again.

Expected Results:  
Scrollbox should scroll automatically so that all content would be visible when
there is enough space for it. Even if this would not happen, the content must
be accessible.

Again thanks for the bug report, if think this bug is a duplicate of bug 529331 where it appears that this happen only for a specific amount of bookmarks.

Could you just have a look at bug 529331 and confirm it is a duplicate?

Yes this seems to be duplicate of bug 559553. I didn't find it when I was making this bug, since I was looking with words scroll and resize. There is also bug 559553 which is at least quite close to duplicate of these bugs. When tested with that bookmark manager, I notice that you can get the list to unscrollable by simply scrolling the page down and removing the bookmarks until the bookmark items will fit to the page. Anyway marking as duplicate.
