whoops, forgot to change component.

Yep, should appear in the status line of whatever component they are being accessed from. If from the Bookmarks window itself, then the status bar of the Bookmarks window. If from the Bookmarks menu of a browser window, then the status bar of the browser window. Etc.

I agree that it would be useful for this information to show up in some form, but it's important to differentiate what behavior triggers a rollover and what doesn't. For example, in the bookmarks window, selecting a bookmark already shows the URL in the status bar. Changing that to a rollover would imply that a single click would activate it, not select it. Thus, it would be more useful to do a tooltip when rolling over the URL column or something similar. In menus, whichever bookmark you click (or release), you'll activate. You also don't want to draw tooltips in a menu, nor require a hover before displaying information. Thus, a rollover with text in the status bar would be appropriate. The sidebar is a different case, in between the menu and the Bookmarks window. The status bar in this case isn't necessarily associated with the sidebar content and bookmarks are still selectable, requiring a double-click to activate. A tooltip might be appropriate. Since these are all separate issues with separate solutions, I'd say they should really be separate bugs. I'm going to narrow this report to request that the bookmarks window display URLs in a tooltip on hover when the entire URL cannot be displayed in the URL column. For the other cases, please file separate RFEs.

this bug sounds like 'title tips' a moderately high priority feature (I believe) for mail. You rollover the truncated subject of a message and immediately see the entire subject. This bug will surely depend on that work. Finding that bug will surely get oyu coser to getting this implemented.

Filed bug 45570 about bookmarks menu, which is IMO the most important one.

Reassigning 79 Bookmarks bugs to Ben. I was told this was going to be done shortly about two months ago, but it clearly hasn't been. I think that's long enough for all these bugs to remain assigned to nobody. Feel free to filter all this spam into the trashcan by looking for this string in the message body: ducksgoquack

Same as bug 23460 or did I miss something? Fabian.

No, see Brendan's comment: > > I'm going to narrow this report to request that the bookmarks window display > URLs in a tooltip on hover when the entire URL cannot be displayed in the URL > column. Bug 23460, on the other hand, is covering the Bookmarks menu in the Navigator window itself.

Netscape Nav Triage team: marking as dup of 23460 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 23460 ***

Missed the point, read mpt's comments. This should be reopened. Stating it clearly : this is about the Bookmarks Manager window (Bookmarks|Bookmarks Manager). Bug 23460 is about the bookmarks menu.

reopening

Changing subject to more closely match new focused point of this bug report.

I suggest to refocus (again, sorry) on: [RFE]Show truncated Bookmars Name or URL as tooltip on hover in Manage Bookmarks These two items are so closely related that they could be fixed in one "swoop". Depending on whether one were hovering over the name or the URL collumn, a tooltip would appear showing the whole Name or URL.

Any objections to duping this bug against the more general bug 32157? bug 32157 [feature] title tips (tooltips for cropped texts)

I have no objections to moving this bug to bug 32157?.

I object. I guess it depends on how it's finally implemented but I'm not sure that once the capability is created to do this you just get it for free in all of your apps that want to use it (like mail, sidebar, bookmarks, history, etc.). I'd rather leave this as a depends relationship and wait to see what happens.

Title tips.

Paul Chen is now taking Bookmarks bugs. For your convenience, you can filter email notifications caused by this by searching for 'ilikegoats'.

I am not going to get to this any time soon, marking mozilla1.1

mass reassign of pchen bookmark bugs to ben

I have filed the related, if not conflicting, bug 135962: [RFE] Show description field in tooltip on hover over bookmarks.

*** Bug 158111 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

This has been fixed, don't know when but probably a long time ago. Its definitely WFM in Moz 1.5b, hovering over a truncated URL in the manage bookmarks screen shows the tooltip. Marking as WFM.

Verified fixed on: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030830 PS. is a bug is known to have existed, and now doesn't, but the fix-patch is not known, is the resolution WORKSFORME or FIXED? I would think FIXED.

Resolving FIXED

Verifying FIXED. (sorry all for bugspam)
