198058 - Dragging to personal toolbar when "Personal Toolbar Folder" doesn't generate any error/warning message.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 88711

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Bruce Pennypacker]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

If the "Personal Toolbar Folder" has been deleted from your Bookmarks and you
try to drag a URL onto the personal toolbar then nothing happens.  There's no
feedback whatsoever indicating that the task couldn't be completed.  I think I
deleted my personal toolbar folder a number of months ago when I was
reorganizing my bookmarks without realizing the importance of it.  When I tried
to drag URL's to my personal toolbar after that point nothing happened - not
even an error message.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Delete the "Personal Toolbar Folder" from your bookmarks
2. Drag a URL to the personal toolbar
3. Nothing happens

Actual Results:  
The URL wasn't added to the personal toolbar

Expected Results:  
At the very least Mozilla should complain that the folder "Personal Toolbar
Folder" couldn't be found in the bookmarks.  It would be nice if it asked if it
should recreate the Personal Toolbar Folder.  Whatever the case, there needs to
be some sort of feedback to the user explaining that the bookmark couldn't be added.

The documentation regarding the personal toolbar folder doesn't explain any of
this at all.  The documentation should really be updated to specify that you
really need to set a folder as the personal toolbar folder.  If the folder
designated as the personal toolbar folder is deleted it should probably also
warn the user.
