88859 - file browser and bookmarks look and feel differ

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 71768

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:

Both the bookmarks component in the sidebar and the filebrowser are tree 
components, they should have a consistent look and feel. Unfortunately the look
and feel differs in numerous ways:

Opening a folder requires a single click on a triangle in the file browser and a
double click in the bookmarks browser. Double clicks in the file browser are
interpreted as two clicks, leaving the user with a closed folder.

The "folder" icons are different.

Single click on the folder name opens the folder in bookmarks but not in the
file browser.

I have a patch to make file use html, but it has major issues, and so won't be
checked in for some time, I suspect.

um. think carefully, there were multiple 'issues' reported here (note to 
reporter: don't do that, it leads to bugs which can't be properly resolved).

hrm, i'll let claudius verify

I suspect there is only one bug: Mozilla includes two implementations of a tree
control. This is what I ment when I reported the bug and it also is what
Bradley's first comment seems to suggest. However, I am not a Mozilla develper
so I don't have the technical expertise to make such a statement in the
bugreport summary. The look and feel differences I reported are just the user
visible effects of the bug.

If there have to be two implementations of a tree control for technical reasons,
their UIs should be absolutely equivalent. They are not, even after 71768 is
fixed. At least the "different folder icons" problem is remaining.

Claudius, please consider reopening.
