335903 - opening bookmarks manager displays name of profile LAST opened NOT CURRENTLY OPEN

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[mprober]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915

This did not become apparent until after I installed four profiles in Mozilla email client and then proceded to organize the bookmarks for each of the profiles

Each time I organized the bookmarks of a given profile and then reopened that profile they were NOT organized and in many instances the latest bookmarks added were nowhere to be found.

After much frustration found the following:

     -Open profile "A"

     -Add new bookmark

     -open bookmark manager ( now shows name of profile LAST opened and bookmark  
      is now installed in wrong profile  "B", "C", "D",)





Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.This error is consistent every time email started unless the profile last selected is opened again for the NEXT session. (this is how I was able to resolve this issue and finally get the bookmarks properly organized in all my profiles)
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
It would certainly be helpful if when first opening 'BOOKMARKS' the selected profile name was displayed (and of course was the correct one)

MozillaAS v1.7.x is not supported anymore.

Can you reproduce with SeaMonkey v1.1.9 ?

I couldn't reproduce this bug with SeaMonkey 2.0b1pre/20090623, bookmarking (e.g. Bookmarks > Bookmark This Page/File Bookmark...) works as expected while switching between 3 different profiles.

Related to/duplicate of bug 199404?

No answer to comment 1, marking INCO. Anyway, now with Places-based bookmarks, this is unlikely to be an issue anymore with SM 2.1pre.
