363766 - Selection behaviour in bookmarks outline view needs improvement

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Camino Graveyard :: Bookmarks, defect)

Description

[Chris Lawson (gone)]

Right now, if you switch collections with a selection active, the selected row stays selected. This is less than useful behaviour most of the time. The selection in each collection should be remembered, or it should simply be reset entirely. I think it would make the most sense to remember the selection when switching collections, but I'm open to other ideas.

I'm in favor of remembering the last selected item.

It would also be great if we could remember scroll position (if remembering selected item doesn't do that for us).

When I'm switching back and forth between my "Searches" collection (which is < 1 screen) and the recesses of my Camino folder in the Bookmark Bar (well beyond 1 screen) moving and comparing bookmarks, it's a pain to have to keep scrolling back down when returning to the bmbar.
