can't drag and drop into folders in the places organizer

on both mac and windows, I'm no longer able to drag a bookmark into a folder.

for example:

1) open the places organizer
2) select the bookmarks menu folder in the left pane
3) in the right hand pane, create a folder
4) in the right hand pane, create a bookmark
5) attempt to drag the bookmark into the folder

upon dnd, the folder is never highlighted.

I'm using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b2pre) Gecko/2007112720 Minefield/3.0b2pre

I also saw this on a recent mac build, too.

thanks to josh for pointing this out.

Bug 451915 - move Firefox/Places bugs to Firefox/Bookmarks and History. Remove all bugspam from this move by filtering for the string "places-to-b-and-h".

In Thunderbird 3.0b, you do that as follows:
Tools | Message Filters
Make sure the correct account is selected. Click "New"
Conditions: Body   contains   places-to-b-and-h
Change the action to "Delete Message".
Select "Manually Run" from the dropdown at the top.
Click OK.

Select the filter in the list, make sure "Inbox" is selected at the bottom, and click "Run Now". This should delete all the bugspam. You can then delete the filter.
