135991 - Bookmark groups rename existing bookmarks

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 51683

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Lee Gladen]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:0.9.9+)
Gecko/20020406
BuildID:    2002040608

New bookmark groups created from existing bookmarks cause the original bookmark
names to be changed to the page title - even if they were edited for brevity
before.  i.e.: bookmark titled "foo", when used in the creation of a new
bookmark group, gets its name reset to "foo - the greatest thing since sliced
bread!" (or whatever the page's current title is)
Using windows XP, Classic Theme, build 2002040608.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. rename two or more existing bookmarks to shorten names
2. open two or more existing bookmarks as tabs
3. go to "bookmarks" > "file bookmark..."
4. click radio button for "file as group"
5. name group
6. create group in whatever location you wish

Actual Results:  Original bookmark names overwritten with current page titles.

Expected Results:  Original bookmark names should be unaffected by new groups.

Also, when renaming the old bookmarks to re - shorten them, the original (short)
title still shows in bookmark properties, and must be changed (i.e. add a space
to the end) for any changes to take place on the bookmark itself.
