Reporter: Tony Liu OS: RHEL WS 3.0 -gtk Language: KOR (verified with English locale as well) Build level: IES20040506 JDK Version: IBM JDK 1.4.2 Beta Test case #: Help testing Summary: "Delete All" item do not work Description: Steps to recreate problem: 1-In Eclipse Help, Click the bookmark icon to add a page into bookmarks. 2-Right click on a bookmark title.. 3-Select "Delete All" item. <<Error>> The bookmarks don't be deleted. <<Expected Result>> All of the bookmark must be deleted.
I can reproduce on RedHat 9.0. Mozilla on Windows seem to work fine.
When browser is set to external browser in help preferences, upon choosing delete all bookmarks action, a confirmation dialog is displayed and bookmarks are deleted. It is only in the embedded browser with mozilla that it does not work. It turns out that javascript:confirm() does not work in the mozilla browser widget. This is strange as javascript:alert() works fine. This used to work in 3.0M8. Now, the embedded browser neither displays confirmation window itself nor it calls OpenWindowListener. Christophe, plese let me know if this can be fixed by 3.0. Thanks.
User confirmation to delete all bookmarks is not terribly important. For M9 I have disabled the javascript confirm call. We can enable it later pending fix to this bug makes it into 3.0, or even change help code to use window.open and create confirmation HTML page for it.
