Open stored cookeis in mozilla:
Task->Privacy and security->Cookie manager->view stored cookies
I select first cookie press shift and hold down cursor.
When mozila starts to scroll selected cookies it STOPS to select new ones and
select last only?
Every cookie listed should be highlighted insted only first 5 and last one is
selected (highlighted) ???


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Open stored cookeis in mozilla:

I select first cookie press shift and hold down cursor.
When mozila starts to scroll selected cookies it STOPS to select new ones and

Every cookie listed should be highlighted insted only first 5 and last one is
selected (highlighted) ???


Actual Results:  Only first 5 and last one is selected instead?

Expected Results:  all cookies should be selected 'cos i start at first cookie
and hold down "down cursor" til last cookie.

this looks like minor GUI problem

What cursor?

How do you scroll selected cookies?

I can select the first cookie, but I cannot hold shift and scroll down,
selecting new cookies as they are found. Maybe this is a win32 thing?

Damir, I tried your procedure and saw the same results.  However, after I let go
of shift and down-arrow, I used the mouse and the scrollbar to scroll back up
the list and saw that all the cookies are selected!  So this is possibly just a
drawing problem, not a selection problem.

i suspect this is a dupe, and i'm guessing this is widget toolkit land

Comment 5

[Peter Trudelle]

Adding real summary.  Trees are deprecated, and since this is only a cosmetic
defect in an edge-case scenario, resolving as wontfix. Fix is to convert to
outliner.

I don't think wontfix'ing this is a good idea.  If there is another bug filed to
convert the cookie manager to outliner, let's dup against that one.

At the moment, not everybody is using outliner, so fixing that wouldn't be a bad
idea either.  (I could reproduce this problem in today's branch bookmark manager
and history window.)
