I noticed what might be a bug with the search box. If you open the dropdown menu you get a list of all your search engines. If you click on an engine and hold and move the mouse button you are able to drag it and change the order it is in. I don't think this is supposed to happen because I'm unable to do it right after opening firefox. In other words, it doesn't happen right away like right when you open firefox you have to be using firefox for awhile. Usually if you try and drag it nothing will happen. Also, if you begin dragging the search engine but you don't move it far enough so it would actually change the order of the engine and then release the mouse button that engine gets moved all the way to the top of the list. This is especially annoying because then I have to move it all the way back.


On a side note, I've been looking at the Drag & Drop Zones addon and I noticed it could do a few things that WSP could not. Like color coding zones, having a 10x10 grid, and a few others. Any chance you can add this to WSP also? At least the color coding and 10x10 because I'm almost running out of boxes to put search engines in!

I am using latest firefox and WSP.



Edit: I take that back, sometimes it does happen right away even after restarting firefox. Any way to stop this?

I can move them at anytime even right when FF starts up, I have mine set to show as grouped. Dunno if that has anything to do with it or not though.

I think you're right. I believe the default behavior is to let us move the search engines around. Unfortunately I frequently make the mistake of dragging the engines when I do searches with the search box. I hope there's a way to turn this behavior off. I have mine set to display Flat and sorted alphabetically automatically.

Added to my ToDo list to look into, perhaps I'll just disable drag&drop reordering of the search engines where you have automatic sorting switched on?
