This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

I'm still seeing this in "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US;
rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20050925 SeaMonkey/1.1a" (wow, this is old, I'd forgotten all
about it - I suppose that means it's not a very important bug, even if it still
exists ;-) ).  I can't think of any more details to add that aren't in the
original report, but I'll happily provide anything more specific that anyone
asks for.

I'm no sure if I'm doing what is correct for you bug but I cannot re-create it on Win NT 5.1 Seamonkey Build 2005122508

1. Open Manage Bookmarks (Ctrl+B)
2. Drag Seperator into a different postion
3. Create new seperator and drag to new position
4. Drag seperators in and out of sub-folders
5. Place seperator in Personal Toolbar Folder and drag around in the browser

None of these caused the manage bookmarks window to close

Try this on a recent seamonkey nightly build and resolve as worksforme?

This is in the Bookmarks menu - as in the one in the menu bar and the personal toolbar folder.  Sorry if that wasn't clear enough in the original report, and thanks for looking into this!  (And, just for the record, it's still happening in build 200610108).
