If you do this, the menu simply closes, when it should open your bookmark. This applies to any menu on the personal toolbar, but not the bookmarks menu or any of the other items on the menubar.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 324963 ***

no, this isn't a dup of that bug. That bug is about the menu highlight, this bug is about menus that don't work at all.

Bug was filed against Build ID: 20060126 trunk. Please retest with that build and report the difference in behaviour.

I think you just misunderstood; they're pretty similar. I have a trunk build from 20060310 and see this bug. Stephend saw some other, similar bug with a trunk build 20060126. This bug involves menus on the personal toolbar, bug 324963 involves the menubar. The effect of this bug is that when you click and drag down a menu, the menu closes without loading the bookmark you selected. Bug 324963 involves the menu highlight not showing up when you click and drag down a menu. Fwiw, I don't see bug 324963 in my build, but maybe that's because I'm on Linux and not Windows.

I don't think this is a places bug. This is broken for all menus, e.g. File, Help, etc. Regression? Daniel, can you tell me if this works for you for other menus like help, etc?

Hmm. It appears that the problem has been fixed since I filed the bug.

Bug 451915 - move Firefox/Places bugs to Firefox/Bookmarks and History. Remove all bugspam from this move by filtering for the string "places-to-b-and-h". In Thunderbird 3.0b, you do that as follows: Tools | Message Filters Make sure the correct account is selected. Click "New" Conditions: Body contains places-to-b-and-h Change the action to "Delete Message". Select "Manually Run" from the dropdown at the top. Click OK. Select the filter in the list, make sure "Inbox" is selected at the bottom, and click "Run Now". This should delete all the bugspam. You can then delete the filter. Gerv
