353128 - nsINavBookmarkObserver doesn't observe Item Moves

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 371823

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Thomas Zoechling]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060914 Minefield/3.0a1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060914 Minefield/3.0a1

The testfile (http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/browser/components/places/tests/testbookmarks.js)
contains an implementation of nsINavBookmarkObserver which allows to listen for onItemMoved events. But it seems this event never fires. 
Instead I get itemRemoved and itemAdded. Wouldn't it be better to batch them into one move-transaction as the test case suggests?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Implement a simple nsINavBookmarkObserver (like the one in http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/browser/components/places/tests/testbookmarks.js)
2. attach it
3. move some bookmarks around 
Actual Results:  
The move actions trigger "remove" and "add" events instead of one "move".

Expected Results:  
"remove" and "add" encapsulated in one "move" transaction

Bug 451915 - move Firefox/Places bugs to Firefox/Bookmarks and History. Remove all bugspam from this move by filtering for the string "places-to-b-and-h".

In Thunderbird 3.0b, you do that as follows:
Tools | Message Filters
Make sure the correct account is selected. Click "New"
Conditions: Body   contains   places-to-b-and-h
Change the action to "Delete Message".
Select "Manually Run" from the dropdown at the top.
Click OK.

Select the filter in the list, make sure "Inbox" is selected at the bottom, and click "Run Now". This should delete all the bugspam. You can then delete the filter.
