WFM, latest branch and trunk, 10.3.9, dragging to either the content area or the location bar.

WFM with 1.0.1 on 10.4.6, too.

Ah, I see it now.  You have to do the drag by clicking on the title text, not the favicon, and the bookmark has to be selected.  Note that you don't even need to drop in another window; just dragging and releasing is enough to trigger it (updating title accordingly).

So the steps to reproduce as I see them are:
1) Select a bookmark in the bookmark manager
2) Grab it by the title, drag, and release (works with the location as well)
3) Wait a moment

Then it will switch to edit mode.

This still works for me.  In the title case, I simply move the bookmark.  In the location case, I can't drag the bookmark; instead, I select multiple items.

Oh, nevermind.  You meant "select" as in "get it to highlight" rathern than "select" as in "choose" :oops:

I wonder if this is a dupe, in that case?

This bug has been buried in the graveyard and has not been updated in over 5 years. It is probably safe to assume that it will never be fixed, so resolving as WONTFIX.
