139419 - Bookmark(s) can not be moved (correctly) to new position in sidebar

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 133351

(SeaMonkey :: Sidebar, defect)

Description

[Andreas]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.0rc1) Gecko/20020417
BuildID:    2002041711

Since RC1 it is often not possible to move a bookmark in the sidebar from one
position to another (say, in a new folder). Only the grey bar that indicates the
position where the bookmark would be inserted (if it would work) will be drawn
and remain in that position. In most cases this will be possible within the
bookmark manager window at the same time (then also the bookmark in the sidebar
will jump to it's new position).

Even if it works, sometimes the moved bookmark will not land at the desired
position, but only "near" that position: When moving a bookmark to the first
position of a subfolder, it may also land outside the folder. The same, when it
is moved on a closed folder: most times it will be properly inserted into this
folder, sometimes just next to the folder. And this is NOT due to bad
coordination of mouse movements ...


Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open bookmarks in the sidebar
2. Pick a bookmark with the mouse and drag it somewhere else (in a new folder or
a different position anywhere in the bookmarks).
3. When it fails, check with the bookmark manager: in most cases moving the
bookmark will work here.

Actual Results:  1. - 2.: nothing happens to the bookmark. Only the
position-indicating grey bar stays in the position selected.
3. in most cases the bookmark is moved, though sometimes it will fail here, too.
Then only a restart of Mozilla will help.

Expected Results:  The bookmark should be moved to the desired position.

This did happen with 0.98 + 0.99, but not as frequently.
