This is a pretty small amount of space, for something as complex as a tree view. To truly use the tree view effectively, we need to show more lines. How many lines? I do not know. Internet Explorer shows 10. However, what factor we should use to determine how many lines to show as default, I am not sure. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

The dialog is resizable...

Ah... I see... and it even remembers the size after closing it -- good. Still would you think it a good idea to at least increase it's size by a few more lines as the default?

You dont want the window too large. You want it to be elegant and non-intrusive on your web browsing experience. Plus, the average and beginning user does not have that many folders to begin with. If you dont like it you can resize it and it will save your size, and you wont have a problem again. I don't see this as a problem.

The only problem that I see is that average users dont get that you can resize this dialog, I mean, how could you? Usually when something is draggable you see it on the bottom right.

Hmm, nice clean look vs too much information.... I can understand a little bit of where you are coming from. However, I don't think that it would hurt the non-intrusiveness of the dialog to expand it. Since the tree view is not expanded when you first use Firebird, that is one plus for it being non-intrusive. Second, people who want the tree view will probably want the wealth of information it can provide. In that respect, here was my reasoning: The purpose of the tree view was for the wealth of information it provides. It allows the user to quickly see the organization of their bookmarks and find the right folder quickly. The drop down method, on the other hand, is somewhat limiting when you are trying to put your bookmark in the right spot. Considering that the tree view is used for such organizational purposes, I see limiting the number of lines as counterproductive. (You need more space so you can see everything -- that's one reason the drop down was so limiting.) On another note, José Jeria also brought out a good point in that a number of people will not even think about resizing it. Perhaps someone could file another bug/enhancement report: "Add resize control widget to Add Bookmark dialog."

Adding a resizer widget wouldn't look right for a dialog, and besides that every single dialog in Firebird (excepting alerts/confirmation dialogs) is already resizable. However, the usability with 8-10 lines is greater within a treeview, so I'll confirm this for pch's review

well i resized and there was a problem some space started appearing between the tree view list

Fareed: that's bug 233759.

I think this is just the right height. It's roughly equivalent to IE's add tree and if you need more, open the bookmarks sidebar or bookmarks manager and add there. recommend wontfix.

sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs, filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change

actually the treeview is about 8 lines, and the dialog changed completely so i'm marking invalid (though i second Asa's idea to wontfix), if this is still an issue for anyone a new bug specific to places implementation should be filed.
