67942 - Creation of new bookmark folders doesn't work

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 68539

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Matthew Cline]

Build 2001020708, Linux 2.4.1 i686, RedHat 6.1

When trying to create a new bookmark folder, a "NewFolder" items
appears with a textfield for changing its name.  I can go and change
the name like I want, but when I press ENTER, the name reverts back to 
"NewFolder"; additionally, when I exit from the bookmark manager and
enter it again, there is no new folder.

Looking at the Mozilla output when I try to create a folder, I see
this:

************************************************************
* Call to xpconnect wrapped JSObject produced this error:  *
[Exception... "[JavaScript Error: "field.select is not a function" {file:
"chrome://global/content/treeBindings.xml#treecell-indented-folder-inline-edit-base.setMode()"
line: 17}] [nsIController::doCommand]"  nsresult: "0x80570021
(NS_ERROR_XPC_JAVASCRIPT_ERROR_WITH_DETAILS)"  location: "JS frame ::
chrome://global/content/globalOverlay.js :: goDoCommand :: line 71"  data: yes]
************************************************************
An error occurred executing the cmd_newfolder command

In the "setMode" method of treecell-indented-folder-inline-edit-base
in file chrome/toolkit/content/global/treeBindings.xml, the variable
"field" is set as following:

Line 79:
              var field = document.createElementNS(kXULNS, "textfield");

And then select() is invoked on "field" several lines later.

I can confirm this on windows also with

reporter, do you reproduce this as described in bug 68539? if yes then it's a
dup (I know this bug is older but we have a tracking bug already tracking bug
68538). If not please give us exact steps to reproduce. It works for me if I
don't have to scroll before changing the name and hitting ENTER.
