76986 - Fizilla can't create menus more than 4 levels deep

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Andrew Thompson]

Use the bookmarks menu in the personal toolbar (XPMenus).

Go Mozilla Project->Technology Demonstration->Smart Find Queries->Bookmarks
starting with 'M'->Mozilla Project ... ie, you can get an infinitely deep tree.

Now try the same in the main menubar, with native menus. You can get 4 sub menus
but no more.

Are changes needed or is this a limitation for Mac OS 9 that's accidentally
being used on Mac OS X also?

this is so trivial, it's almost not worth worrying about, but i think this 
restriction has been removed.

Comment 2

[Andrew Thompson]

Its still there in the 4/17 build I tried last night. Oh, or do you mean "the
restriction was removed from the OS in Mac OS X"

If its trivial to fix point me in the right direction and I'll do it. 
Sure its a pretty trivial problem, but you know how people get if they can't
organise their bookmarks just the way *they* want them...

[Patrick C. Beard]

I can't get an infinitely deep tree in the personal toolbar either. I don't this 
bug is reproducible any longer.

Comment 4

[Andrew Thompson]

Clearly one could expose this bug - just use the bookmarks manager to make > 4
levels of nested folder in your bookmarks. Its not a question of infinitely deep
trees, just trees with a depth greater than 4.

beard and i were able to repro this with current builds...i've fired off an email 
to apple asking about limitations. i don't see anything in the OSX menu code that 
restricts us like with os9.

lordpixel, do you see anything?
