69202 - Bookmarks field in sidebar broken

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Thomas.Renard]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.18 i686; en-US; 0.8) Gecko/20010214
BuildID:    2001021421

The Bookmarks tab in the sidebar seems to be broken. Right mouse menues are
empty (no functionality to edit, cut ...) and an import of an old bookmarks.html
let's the tab hang while loading the bookmarks. The tab hangs while loading, if
you change anything in the bookmarks tab and rerun mozilla too. This effect can
be found after (!) the daily build 2001012706 (this one is running the right way)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.right mouse click on any bookmarks entry
2.copying bookmarks.html from an old .mozilla setup into a new one (the same
with an original netscape bookmarks.html)
3.change the bookmarks entries and rerun mozilla

Actual Results:  1. empty menues
2. Bookmarks tab hangs while loading
3. (like 2) Bookmarks tab hangs while loading

Expected Results:  1. Opening popup with the bookmarks menue entries
2. load and display the bookmarks
3. save the bookmarks the right way and reload them the next time

Error can be found after build 2001012706. This is the last one which worked
right for me. The error is the same with importing netscape setups and with no
.netscape at startup of mozilla.

The problem with the empty popup is a dupe of bug 68018.

mass-verifying claudius' Fixed bugs which haven't changed since 2001.12.31.

if you think this particular bug is not fixed, please make sure of the following
before reopening:

a. retest with a *recent* trunk build.
b. query bugzilla to see if there's an existing, open bug (new, reopened,
assigned) that covers your issue.
c. if this does need to be reopened, make sure there are specific steps to
reproduce (unless already provided and up-to-date).

thanks!
