637149 - Window resize gripper should always be the right-most element.

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, defect)

Description

[Mark Straver]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b12) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b12
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b12) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b12

The add-on bar, when having icons placed in it by add-ons, shows the window resize gripper in an arbitrary location, while it should always remain the right-most element in the add-on bar (corner of the window).

Since the gripper and add-on icons cannot be positioned in the "customize" mode for toolbars either in b12, it can't be corrected.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. enable the add-on bar
2. install an add-on that places an icon in the add-on bar (e.g. adblockplus)

Actual Results:  
The gripper is put to the left of the add-on icon in the add-on bar

Expected Results:  
The gripper should be in the corner of the window, always.

This is not reproducible by simply following your STR on Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b13pre) Gecko/20110227 Firefox/4.0b13pre.

It is reproducible if you first install the Status-4-Evar addon, as in Bug 637154

@Alex: you are right!
Apparently if you had status-4-evar installed once upon a time, even if completely removed before installing anything else, it is broken. A factory-profile doesn't display this behavior. Since I didn't have anything else installed add-on wise when I wrote this bug, the STR didn't include this.

The fact that it can end up in any location but the end of the bar is, IMO, a problem; it should probably be forced in it's correct spot at all times.
