Was it a "Save" button before?

Somebody mentioned "Ctrl+D" was unusable or cutoff. I don't see a problem.

Ctrl-D is apparently being altered.  I was willing to except what I am

Did that.  Ctrl-D got a window that seemed to be complete.  I was short 
top to bottom and I could not expand it.  In the lower right corner was 
a button that I am accustomed to being labeled "Save", but it was 
labeled Done or some such.


Add-ons manager shows five extensions and no plugins.  I disabled all 
extensions, and Ctrl-D was as I first reported; truncated on right.

Start Menu / Safe Mode
From the release notes:

Poorly designed or incompatible extensions can cause problems with 
SeaMonkey, including make it crash, slow down page display, etc. If you 
encounter strange problems relating to parts of SeaMonkey no longer 
working, the browser not starting, windows with strange or distorted 
appearance, degraded performance, etc, you may be suffering from 
Extension or Theme trouble. Restart SeaMonkey in Safe Mode. On Windows, 
start using the "Safe Mode" shortcut created in your Start menu or by 
running seamonkey.exe -safe-mode. On Linux, start with 
/path-to-seamonkey/seamonkey -safe-mode or first change to the SeaMonkey 
installation directory and start with ./seamonkey -safe-mode, and on Mac 
OS X, run:


cd /Applications/SeaMonkey.app/Contents/MacOS/
./seamonkey-bin -safe-mode
When started in Safe Mode all extensions are disabled and the Default 
theme is used. Disable the Extension/Theme that is causing trouble and 
then start normally.

Did you try with a fresh profile in 2.44? I'm not sure if those changes
to UserChrome.css might interfere with the fix. If it's not fixed in
2.44 using a fresh profile, if may be worth re-opening bug 1249536 or
opening a new one, since the "tracking flags" indicate it's fixed in 2.44.

I tried it with safe mode, which disables userChrome.css, and it made no 
difference.

Hmm!! Looking at our UserAgents

Mine Win7 no mention of FF and my addressbook fails

Don't know if that might help any devs lurking.

Been there, done that ... and undone it  several times, Ed!


Why undo it?  You'll have less problems online if you advertise FF
compatibility.



My default is to disable "Advertise Firefox compatibility".  If I have a
problem from that, my first recourse is to use PrefBar to set my user
agent string to
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101
SeaMonkey/2.40, NOT Firefox/45.0
If that does not work, I use PrefBar to revert to my real UA string and
then have PrefBar check the "Advertise Firefox compatibility" checkbox.
And if that does not work, I have PrefBar uncheck that checkbox and set
my user agent string to
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/45.0

"Advertise Firefox compatibility" is not always effective.  I have found
Web sites that cannot handle the presence of "SeaMonkey" in the
resulting UA string
 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/43.0 SeaMonkey/2.40
I do not know whether the servers are parsing the entire UA string or
merely require "Firefox" to be at the end.  I just know that the mere
presence of "SeaMonkey" in the string causes problems at some Web sites.

By the way, when I find an organization's site that is doing incorrect
sniffing, I sometimes send a letter (US Postal System, not E-mail) to
the CEO explaining why they have a broken Web server.


Do you think that the server is involved ?
My opinion is that the webmaster have badly analyzed the sniffing result.
Anyway all the problem came from the fact that most people did not know
that seamonkey is a browser otherwise
the UA string: "SeaMonkey/2.40" would be perfect.


The server is the software that receives your browser's request for a
Web page and sends the result.  Often, there is confusion when "server"
is used to describe the hardware platform -- the "host" -- on which the
actual server operates.

The server may have a software component that sniffs the header fields
sent by the browser, which includes the UA string.  Based on how the
server's sniffing routines were developed and configured, different
files might be sent.  This often ha

I'm having the same problem. New with 2.40. However, you can fix it on a
temporary (and very annoying basis), simply by dragging the bottom of
the selection window down. With that, you will be able to see and scroll
through the bookmark folders as before. Trouble is, it doesn't stick.
Next time you use "File Bookmark", you'll have to drag the window longer
again.

There is a bug open, but no idea when/if it will be fixed. Its very
annoying


Do you have the bug number? I can't find it from a quick search of
bugzilla. I was going to do something about filing one after this came
up a few weeks ago, but never got around to it.

This issue also seems to affect a few other dialogs, e.g. some pages of
the preferences.


It looks like #1249536 
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1249536> is the one, at 
least for the File Bookmark dialog. Ended up extending the search to 
include closed issues, which returned a duplicate (#1258608) pointing to 
this one.

I'm having the same problem. New with 2.40. However, you can fix it on a
temporary (and very annoying basis), simply by dragging the bottom of
the selection window down. With that, you will be able to see and scroll
through the bookmark folders as before. Trouble is, it doesn't stick.
Next time you use "File Bookmark", you'll have to drag the window longer
again.

There is a bug open, but no idea when/if it will be fixed. Its very
annoying


Do you have the bug number? I can't find it from a quick search of
bugzilla. I was going to do something about filing one after this came
up a few weeks ago, but never got around to it.

This issue also seems to affect a few other dialogs, e.g. some pages of
the preferences.



See bug #1261685 at
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1261685>.


That looks like a complete breakage of Bookmarks Manager, not the dialog 
sizing problem here. Elsewhere in this thread Frank-Rainer Grahl 
mentioned that problem only ever existed in a development version for a 
few days, not in a released version.

If you click the button on the "Folder" line that is nearer to the edge
of the dialog box, you should see the whole folder list.  SeaMonkey
lately has a bug with that dialog box that prevents it from getting
longer to accommodate that folder list, however, so it required a little
patching to fix it.  I did that patching with my userChrome.css file.
In addition to the namespace line, which must be the first code there, I
added:

#bookmarkproperties {
min-height:830px !important;}


For my wide screen monitor I use
 min-width:770px !important; min-height:700px !important;}

In the New Bookmark dialog it has a line Folder:  with a button saying
Bookmarks Menu.  Click the down arrow to the right.  Click on "Choose."
  Choose your folder and click "Save."


Thanks for that, Ed, but as I typed above, when I click "Choose", I
only get offered those sub-folders that I have saved to recently (the
half dozen or so listed) not the full screen length list.



I'm having the same problem. New with 2.40. However, you can fix it on a
temporary (and very annoying basis), simply by dragging the bottom of
the selection window down. With that, you will be able to see and scroll
through the bookmark folders as before. Trouble is, it doesn't stick.
Next time you use "File Bookmark", you'll have to drag the window longer
again.

There is a bug open, but no idea when/if it will be fixed. Its very
annoying

Paul.

Yeap!! Seems that even the smallest increase in the length of that 
screen makes the listing scroll-able  but then, when you close the 
screen, all is forgotten! ;-(


The first link in my Bookmarks Files' SeaMonkey sub-list points to 
Bugzilla 605786, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=605786 , 
which was closed by therube back on 16/03/2012 seems to have covered the 
same problem!

Hmm!! Looking at our UserAgents

You are Win 10 and include FF/43.0 and your addressbook works
Mine Win7 no mention of FF and my addressbook fails

Don't know if that might help any devs lurking.

The mentioned bug has nothing to do with any current bookmark problems in 2.40. 
It 
was just a problem in 2.45a1 for a few days. A string got renamed by mozilla 
devs. 
The usual weekly Seamonkey which has been taken care of by Ratty:)

If you click the button on the "Folder" line that is nearer to the 
edge of the dialog box, you should see the whole folder list. 
SeaMonkey lately has a bug with that dialog box that prevents it from 
getting longer to accommodate that folder list, however, so it 
required a little patching to fix it.  I did that patching with my 
userChrome.css file.
In addition to the namespace line, which must be the first code there, 
I added:


#bookmarkproperties {
min-height:830px !important;}


Thanks for that. Works well (though 830px is excessive on my laptop). 
The problem was starting to irritate me quite a bit :)

This was caused by implementing bug #1261685, which merely furthered
making Firefox more like Chrome.  See
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1261685>, where the
discussion indicated a concern about breaking the Bookmarks capability.
Apparently, that concern was not sufficiently taken into account.

This is one more example of the developers making a change that has
little substance but horrific consequences.  In the meantime, actual
bugs (errors, not enhancements) remain unfixed.

Have I started doing something wrong?? How do I get back to the old

sub-folders in my Bookmarks Folder??

In the New Bookmark dialog it has a line Folder:  with a button saying 
Bookmarks Menu.  Click the down arrow to the right.  Click on "Choose." 
 Choose your folder and click "Save."

I do use third-party themes, but the behaviour is the same with safe

SM 2.40 File Bookmark element

No, I said an operating system with a GUI interface. DOS was not, 
although there were graphical programs. Microsoft was not first.

Hopefully, you meant 10.0.2 (1.0.n would be quite old).

I still have SM 2.4.1, although just now I've gotten notice that 2.7.2 is 
now available in my Linux repository. I'll probably upgrade later this

Daniel, it all depends on the Window Manager. You're on Linux, He's on
Windows. Some Linux Window managers ignore application requests for a no
resize window.

Grab hold of one of the sides of the screen with your mouse pointer and
reduce the width of the window.

Works for me!


I tried that several times but that does nothing. When I click on the
sides I get a system error sound (sort of doink) and the bookmark window
flickers a bit. Resizing is impossible, it's fixed and locked.


You don't "click" the window borders, you "hover" the cursor and it will
change to a border-dragging symbol. *Then* click (once) and drag the
window to an appropriate width or height. Also, hovering a corner will
change to a diagonal arrow for click/drag.


I can move the window left/right/up/down when I click/grab the top bar
with the red X but nothing else.


That's what you should expect if you click in the window title bar. To
resize it, you need to hover an actual border of the window. This is all
standard GUI stuff from way back to Windows 2.0, and earlier in other
graphical operating systems.



Standard GUI stuff since Windows 2.0 and earlier, You mean DOS 1.0 ?

Yes, very nice explanation, it should work like this, but it did not
because the localstore.rdf file in some way was corrupted as Hartmut
Figge explained to me. I followed his advise and all is well now.

Question for you:

Do a Ctrl-D, the file Bookmark Window pops up, can you hover the borders
to enlarge or decrease the window as you can in the Bookmark manager ?


Yes, I could do this..mind you, the first time I tried it, I 
switched to my Browser and pressed Ctrl-D and nothing happened, but then 
I went back to my email screen re-clicked on the browser tab, clicked 
somewhere in the Browser screen and then did Ctrl-D and up popped the 
Bookmarks Manager screen!

have the standard smaller file bookmark manager window back
but in SM 2.7.2 still no way to hover the borders, no arrow cursor 
symbols and not in SM 2.7.2 portable.


You can't even do this in Firefox 1.0.0.2, try it, I can't, at least not 
on my system.


I have an older Portable SM 2.0.1.4 on an USB stick, there I can do 
this. There I see the double arrow cursor symbols in the File Bookmark 
window. Here I can make this window smaller/bigger.

I would rename the file localstore.rdf in the profile of the stubborn SM
after closing it. The file will be recreated the next time SM starts.

But you will lose custom settings you have made in the past. Therefore
renaming and not deleting, so you have a way to go back if needed.

Hartmut



Thanks Harmut, I followed your suggestion and renaming localstore.rdf 
did the trick. I now have the much smaller (not too wide) file Bookmark 
window back and as you mentioned some window settings have been changed 
back to the standard SM configuration after the new localstore.rdf was 
created, but that is easy to change.


Thanks again for your help.

As a workaround, you can display the bookmarks in a sidebar. Then you
can add the bookmark just by dragging & dropping directly to the desired
folder.

There is <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=605786> to fix 
this. Unfortunately it's harder than I thought. :-(


For the time being, you can hard-code the height like this (using 
userChrome.css or Stylish; found on a German SM newsgroup):


#editBMPanel_folderTree {
min-width: 440px ! important;
min-height: 400px ! important;
}
#editBookmarkPanelContent {
min-width: 400px ! important;
}

Re: file bookmark

[Not@home]

I find it harder to use because the window is so small and there is no 
way to make it larger (I have extensive hierarchies that don't show well 
in the small space.)  Other than that, it works well once you are used 
to it.

I'm not fond of it either -- but it's less painful now that I see you can click 
on the very small down-arrow at the far right of the row beginning with 
"Folder:" and get an instant list of the existing folders.
