Bookmark folders inside folder don't always open

I've had my FF 3 bookmarks in several layers of bookmark folders and they opened quite fine from the bookmark menu. However, having upgraded to FF4 this does not work always. Like I click bookmarks, folder 1, folder 2 inside folder 1, folder 3 inside folder 2. Some third level folders open/unfold normally, while some don't open up at all. It seems to be a question of the folder opening reaching the right display border and not being able to open the folder towards left.

When I open the same bookmark folders from the the bookmarks icon/button on the right, they have enough room to open all the way to the third folder level towards the left.

Sorry if this sounds confusing. It really is a simple bug/feature.

It seems to be a question of the length of the names of individual bookmarks in relation to the display width. On my Mac Mini and a bigger display the bookmark folders opened normally and after shortening the names, also on my 15 inch MBP which was originally problematic.

So in my case it's solved with a kludge, but on the whole there is a bug in changing the direction of the opening bookmark folders when the display edge is reached.
