When I turn on Manage Bookmarks I am unable to start
a new navigator window.  At first I thought that this
was because the command was taken by something else, but
it is not.  It doesn't appear to do anything, and command
N is not listed in the available options.
It would be nice to be able to start a new window
and direct the focus to that.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on Bookmarks in the nav panel
2. Click on Manage Bookmarks.. in the drop down menu
3. Try to create a new navigator widow.  On the mac
this is command N.
4. Nothing happens.

Actual Results:  
Nothing!

Expected Results:  
Create a new Navigator window and shift focus to that.

I think the keybinding is Command+1 from Manage bookmarks.

Is there not a Window menuitem with Navigator listed inside?

Chris:

You're right, Command+1 does open a new navigator, and that
is indeed listed both in Banage Bookmarks and the navigator window.
However, why not have both notations when one is under
Manage Bookmarks?  Keeping Command+1 would be ok, but I would vote for
command-n as the natural thing to do, just as in the
Navigator window mode.  Simplicity!

I'm resolving this bug as invalid, since the original problem of not being able
to open a navigator window is solved.

If you want to request a new keybinding, please open a new bug with severity
"Enhancement" and file it under the keyboard navogation component.

Thanks!

Why is this recorded as resolved???

This bug system is buggy!!  I report REAL PROBLEMS
and they are getting pushed aside!!  This browser is great
and the concept is great, but for goshs sake, if there is
a problem, don't pretend it is not there!!

This bug as about not being able to open a new Navigator window from the manage
bookmarks window.  That problem is invalid, since Command+1 opens it.  You
requested Command+N, which is bug 181955.

See comment #3 and your response in comment #4.
