bookmarks not fitting in the bookmark bar

Original issue description

Describe the issue you encountered: https://community.brave.com/t/bookmarks-toolbar-management/4396/13?u=suguru

When I recently transitioned to Brave, I imported my FF Bookmarks and set up all the Bookmarks I wanted on the Bookmarks Toolbar, with 17 Bookmarks on the Toolbar (plus the Bookmarks Folder Icon which can't be removed apparently). Suddenly within the past couple of days only 9 of the Bookmarks appear in the Toolbar and the remaining 8 can only be accessed by clicking on the ">>" icon at the far right of the bar, even though there's plenty of real estate there and they all fit in the bar before.

• Platform (Win7, 8, 10? macOS? Linux distro?):

• Brave Version (revision SHA): Windows 7 Pro

• Steps to reproduce: See above

• Actual result: See above

Also an issue for me, but I have 40 bookmarks in the imported toolbar and when I click on the >> to get the list displayed there is a delay in loading the list and thereafter a 5 sec or so delay in mouse response. That is the highlighted bookmark takes 5 secs to update to reverse color to show where the mouse is. Makes this unusable.

Also I can only scroll to the bottom of my list (which is initially off the bottom of the screen) as I have a wheel on my mouse. Without this I cannot see how I could scroll the list content. I would expect moving the mouse pointer to near the bottom would auto-scroll the list (as happens in Firefox).

Also gets confusing if I then leave the mouse and use keyboard arrow keys to navigate the list. I get two separate bookmarks highlighted.

I also only see bookmarks across the first half of the bar. Bookmarks which should appear beyond the half-way point, appear in the drop-down list (>>).
This only started a couple of weeks ago.

Todays update did not fix.

I keep reverting back to version 0.16.9 because of this same (mildly annoying...) problem.

The bookmarks toolbar rendering has been broken for me in all subsequent releases, as I've tried them all with ever increasing hope that the next version will fix it.

The above issue aside, Brave is my default browser. Keep up the good work!

I think that this will be fixed in 0.20 with this PR #10458

[benjusmaximus]

I'm getting the same problem in the latest version for mac. 15 bookmarks show in the bar, with about half the bar as free space. Any extra bookmarks I add, end up under the arrow menu on the right.

Sounds like it's being attended to. Looking forward to the fix. Many thanks

Same issue. Just started using Brave and I love it and love what it stands for. But I'd love for this to be fixed as it's quite annoying. Only qualm so far.

Bookmark bar only fills up halfway before it starts hiding additional ones on the far right side (as though the bookmark bar was full).

should be fixed with #10325

[srirambv]

Happening intermittently, Confirmed not seen on macOS by @LaurenWags

[LaurenWags]

First time I tried it did not show (not a brand new profile, but was new today). Second time it did show (completely clean profile)

[srirambv]

This is still an issue on Linux

[NejcZdovc]

I will close this one, because it's better and let's open another issue for linux only. It's not a blocker
