Large bookmark folders: while drawing, the upper half of the menu flashes for 2 min. or so. and blocks the complete UI (all of X11). Mozilla seems to try to draw all of the menu on the screen, which of course fails. We have to figure out, how many items will fit on the screen and draw only them. For test cases see bug #14540.
Summary: Test available screen space → Test available screen space: huge menus
clarified summary to fit with description. also added claudius, as he might see this while working on bookmarks...
Summary: Test available screen space: huge menus → Test available screen space: huge menu redraw probs
more clarified. ;-)
Target Milestone: M13
This is a side effect of the implementation for bug #9454 . Moving my bug report from that bug to here: With extremely large root menus (such as a bookmarks menu with 100 items), or for any other root menu that has been moved up because it would run off the screen, moving the mouse over a submenu causes the root menu to move up & down, disappear and flash.

BULK MOVE: Changing component from XP Menus to XP Toolkit/Widgets: Menus. XP Menus component will be deleted.
Component: XPMenus → XP Toolkit/Widgets: Menus
adding a couple mailnewsqa folks into cc: since we have an issue with cascading large folder submenus in Move or Copy messages. (ref: #15091 and #26151)

Problem still occurred on Mac9.0, for Mail folders..I cannot create new folder (1st level folder) from the server itself since it is out of the window....Cc: Seth.
eli or claudius: could you email me or attach a sample Huge Bookmark file so that this can get verified soon? thanks!
Keywords: verifyme
i'm having problems verifying this one, on all 3 platforms --pls lemme know if i should reopen this (or not), or open new bugs. this is what i've seen using today's opt comm bits, 2000022808. what i did to test this is copy over trudelle's big bookmarks file as bookmarks.html. winNT & linux: because XPmenus aren't scrollable, the length (and therefore content) of the bookmarks menu is limited by the monitor's screen size. i've added a dependency on bug 11586 because of this --but lemme know if that's truly relevant to this bug (i feel it is, imho). mac: unlike winNT and linux, i can scroll further down the list...until i get to the bookmark for "Map of Eric's Home Web" --after which subsequent bookmarks just appear as "a" or "b". new bug?
Depends on: 11586
yeah, I'd say the mac issue was a new bug (i've seen it) but I wanted to verify it with some other large bookamrks file in case the one we've all been using is somehow corrupted. So if someone with a large enough bookmarks file wants to do that, that'd be cool. other than that new issue it sounds like this bug, as originally reported, is verified, no?
hokay, so verification of this is blocked by bug 11586. as for the new mac issue --claudius, could you file that one once you get a better large bookmark test (i only have what you and eli sent me, which is the same thing :-)? thx!
Keywords: verifyme
sairuh, bug #11586 is related, I don't think there's a dependency. claudius, there's a testcase attached to bug #14540.
this bug, as originally described, is fixed --ie, when trying to view a huge bookmark list, i don't see menu flashing/etc. gonna verify this puppy --any other problems w/large menus should be opened as separate bugs.
