152423 - changing the order of bookmarks, copying bookmarks, and putting bookmarks in both toolbar folder and main folder is very difficult or impossible

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 124603

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Luca Rescigno]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.0rc3) Gecko/20020523
BuildID:    2002052305

1. Can't move bookmarks to correct spot (they go to a different place than the
line says they will)
2. Although you can copy bookmarks by holding down option while dragging, the
copy gets put in the wrong spot and half the time it doesn't copy. Sometimes it
moves the original bookmark and sometimes it does nothing.
3. Copies of bookmarks are sometimes made without me telling them to be made. I
wanted to make my bookmarks appear both in my bookmark bar and in the bookmark
menu, but when I copied, I ended up getting two unmovable copies of that
bookmark in my toolbar folder instead of one. When I tried to delete the one
that was in the wrong spot, it deleted the other one and left the one I wanted
to delete.
4. I decided that I just wouldn't change the order of the bookmarks in my
toolbar folder because it was so hard to work with, but not all the bookmarks
appeared in the toolbar, and there was one "blank" bookmark (a space and a
symbol but no name). The toolbar doesn't match the contents of the toolbar folder.
5. When importing bookmarks from IE 5, they were reversed up and down (the one
at the top was at the bottom and vice versa) so I had to move each and every one
to get them in the right order again.
6. In the bookmark toolbar, not enough room is allocated to each bookmark. The
names are cut off very short. By contrast, in IE 5, every bookmark gets as much
room as it needs to fully display the title.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. In the list of bookmarks, choose one near the bottom and move it to the
second position from the top.
2. It will, in fact, be right at the top.
3. Now try moving the bookmark back down to the second position from the top. It
will be in the third position from the top.

There were a number of problems, and the explanation for reproducing them is
already described in the "description" field. I think you need to completely
revamp the bookmark system.

Actual Results:  The bookmark moved first to the top spot, then to the #3 spot.

Expected Results:  It should have moved to the #2 spot, both times.

Issue 1 was caused by bug 124603 which is fixed in newer builds.
