268951 - Copying and pasting does nothing in bookmarks manager

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Douglas Yee]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

If I select several bookmarks in bookmarks manager and then do an Edit->Copy,
I cannot paste the bookmarks into a New Folder.  I tried it both with the
pull-down options under Edit and also with the keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl-C
and Ctrl-V).  Both times, nothing happened and nothing was changed.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Bookmarks-->Manage Bookmarks
2. Select several existing bookmarks by holding down Ctrl key.
3. Edit-->Copy
4. Left click on another folder (create a new folder if necessary).
5. Edit-->Paste


Actual Results:  
Nothing.  No changes were made.  I also tried exiting bookmarks manager and
coming back into it to see if it was a refresh issue (ie the change was made
but the screen didn't reflect the change).  This wasn't the case.


Expected Results:  
It should have successfully copied and pasted the selected bookmarks 
as expected.

I took another look and discovered that Firefox is actually pasting the
bookmarks, but in the original (Bookmarks) folder and not the desired/expected
folder (New Folder).

I have found that if you try to copy and paste, the items pasted will be in the
same folder as the source even if you are in another folder.

sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs, filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change
