265417 - Manage Bookmarks creates new bookmark, even if "Cancel" is clicked.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 258821

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[David Craig]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040914 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040914 Firefox/0.10

When using the "Manage Bookmarks" dialog, attempting to create a new bookmark
and then cancelling leaves an empty bookmark called 'New Bookmark'. The bookmark
appears in the main dialog window (as opposed to the small 'Properties for New
Bookmark' window) immediately when the user clicks File>New Bookmark (and before
any info is added).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. In main browser window, click "Bookmarks>Manage Bookmarks"
2. In the new window (Bookmarks Manager) "File>New Bookmark..."
3. In the small new window (Properties for New Bookmark), click "Cancel" button

Actual Results:  
After step 2, a bookmark named "New Bookmark" appears in the Bookmarks Manager
window, in the 'root' of the bookmarks. After step 3, it is still there.

Expected Results:  
Presumably, the empty bookmark should disappear.

I have only tried this on the Linux (Fedora Core 2) build, have not confirmed
with windows.
