Choosing a bookmark in the dock menu is like clicking a bookmark item in the
toolbar or choosing an item in the bookmarks window: it doesn't yield to a new
window.
However, I think it should (at least it should behave like "Loading a page
requested by another application").
Rationale: let's say I don't know if I have a Camino window open since there are
so many window open at the moment, I want to access a bookmarked page. I have
two methods:
(a) I click Camino's icon. If there was a window, I can choose to lose that
window and click a bookmark item in the toolbar/choose an item in the menu. Or I
can choose to open a new window/tab/command-click a bookmark item in the toolbar.
If there was no window, a new empty window opens and I can do the same (except
that usually won't care if the home page window is lost).
(b) I choose an item in Camino's dock menu. If there was a front window that I
didn't see, I lose its content. If there wasn't, a new window opens and I just
lose the home page (without being able to choose).
The suggested behavior is to create a window/tab, avoid loading the home page
and get the bookmarked page. Otherwise, Camino's dock menu might not be that
useful, since once you lost one or two pages that you have to search in Camino's
horrible history list, you're like Pavlov's dog, you'll probably won't use it again.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start google on a stupid request. Browse for 10 minutes. Find a page that is
interesting by following links here and there.
2. Go and do other things on your computer. Open a lot of windows as you're used to.
3. Click Camino's dock menu to retrieve some page related to an e-mail you just
received. Notice that the interesting page you found in (1) is now lost except
if you dig the history list for 10 minutes.

Paul is this behaviour still true with the new bookmark system ?

If Camino is the front application, choosing an item in the Dock menu will
replace the content of the front window (which is a wishable behavior). If
another application is the front application, it will open a new window (which
is exactly what I wanted).
This is with Build ID: 2003102708.
So as far as I'm concerned, the bug is fixed. Great, I gonna start using the
Dock menu again.
