I cannot modify the order of my bookmarks (or even the default bookmarks after a fresh install) in the "manage bookmarks" window in any way: A mouseclick selects the bookmark, but any drag-and-drop attempts are silently ignored. Any attempts to re-arrange bookmarks by cut and paste are also silently ignored; there is no way to modify the order of bookmarks, put bookmarks into folders etc.. The bookmarks are not read-only, it is possible to modify bookmark texts etc.. Mozilla bugzilla has an issue 64768, which says rearranging bookmarks is impossible if the bookmark view is sorted, but mine is definitely unsorted. However, comments 7 and 13 in that issue seem to have problems similar to mine. First of all, I want to find out if this is a problem specific to my installation, to the gentoo linux port of mozilla, or if it is a general mozilla issue. mozilla 1.0-r3, compiled with gcc 3.1.1-r1 with -O3 for a P3, use gtk2.
Ooops, I just saw that it is *much* worse than that: My mozilla refuses to perform any mouse drag-and-drops, for example, I cannot move incoming mails into my mail folders by mouse. Moreover, it refuses to perform any cut-and-paste operations: Ctrl-X / Ctrl-C / Ctrl-V just seem to be ignored, they neither move text nor other items, not within a single window or text field, and also not between different ones. Mouse cut-and-paste is also broken: Left drag marks text as selected, but middle click doesn't insert it!
This is beginning to look more and more like a gtk2 problem. Again, my Moz1.1_beta1/gtk1/gcc2.95 doesn't do it... Can you try rebuilding with USE="-gtk" if you have a spare 600MB?
It's a gtk2 problem: emerged without "use gtk2" (anything else identical), all three errors are gone (moreover, the resulting mozilla looks better): * Mouse drag-and-drop works in bookmarks, mail, ... * Ctrl-X/C/V works * Mouse cut & paste works However, building with gtk instead of gtk2 resulted in an unstable mozilla for me, see bug 7256.
Moz-1.1 with gtk2 looks better.
Moz-1.0 's gtk2 support broken. Seems ok with 1.1.
