Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Just found this today. In FFB4 sorting my bookmarks by name doesn't work if mouse is hovered folder contents.

Steps to reproduce.
1. Open FFB4
2. Open bookmarks that contain folders for organization.
3. Right click in the area where the links are and try to select "Sort By Name". I cannot do it, the mouse just moves over from Properties to Delete.

But it does work if you move the mouse back over to the main list and right click on the folder name. This now will give you the option to "Sort By Name" and it works.

Thank you for filing the bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The 'sort by name' works on folders containing bookmarks and not when clicking on the bookamarks itself. 'sort by name' is to be applied on a bookmark folder containing bookmarks to sort it contents by name. For example, if you have a top level bookmark folder A and some bookmarks plus another sub-folder B. sort by name works by right clicking on either folder A or folder B. but not when you go to the drop down containing the links and right click on any of them. As the reported problem is not a bug, am hereby closing this bug as invalid. Feel free if you can confirm otherwise.

Changed in firefox-3.0:
