169080 - recursive bookmark folder causes complete crash

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 109237

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Vaskin Kissoyan]

Accidentally created a recursive bookmark folder, and now Manage Bookmarks and
File Bookmark totally crashes browser.

I believe this is reproducable as follows:

1. Right click on your personal toolbar, choose "File Bookmark"
2. Choose the Personal Toolbar folder, and apply.
3. This creates recursive, which is an issue in-and-of itself.
4. Choose Manage Bookmarks.

Expected behaviour:
1A. Do not let users recurse bookmarks
1B. Allow user to delete the recursed folder (right-click delete does not work,
and other methods of deleting crash browser)

Actual behaviour:
1A. You can actuall view the "hall-of-mirrors" in the bookmarks
1B. Browser crashes (total core-dump without Talkback) when you choose Manage
Bookmarks, or File Bookmark.

Attachment: what my toolbar looks like now

here, "Recurse" is actually defined as my Personal Toolbar. (this bug allows me
to actually rename bookmarks, folders, as long as I can do it without the
"Manage Bookmarks" which does crash, as reported. I used rename from
right-click menu to rename it as "Recurse"
