159694 - deleting or moving bookmarks may result in incorrect update to displayed tree

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Ricardo SIGNES]

I was merging two bookmark files, and had several folders of the same name.  I
found that when moving bookmarks between folders with the same name, the update
to the visual tree representation did not happen correctly.  Deleting a bookmark
from the second instance of the named folder would make it appear to vanish in
the first.  Moving from the second to the first would not cause it to move at all.

I can't reproduce the exact sequence, but I confirm the fact that bookmarks act
weirdly when located in folders with duplicate names (2002072608/win98se). I'm
unable to produce any single test case, as a completely different weird thing
happens every time I try to reproduce what I have just tried. Also, the
superimposition of effects of bug 153828 (new/delete functions in bookmarks lock
up randomly) prevent me from repeating the sequence _exactly_ (as every time it
locks up at different point).

So, I dare to mark this NEW, as "two folders with a same name" issue really
constitutes a problem, and mark this dependent on bug 153828  so we can return
to this when it's fixed.

OS => All.

The bookmarks rewrite in spring 2003 should have fixed this. WFM.
Anybody opposed to resolving?
