Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Andy Boze]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a2pre) Gecko/20061221 Netscape/7.2 (ax) Firefox/1.5 SeaMonkey/1.5a
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a2pre) Gecko/20061221 SeaMonkey/1.5a

In the Bookmarks Manager, if I select the top-level bookmarks folder (the one named "Bookmarks for [profile name]) and attempt to change its name or add a description, the next time I start SeaMonkey, the changes are gone.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Bookmark Manager.
2.Click on top-level folder (Bookmarks for [profile name]).
3.Click on Properties... button.
4.Change the name and/or add a description. Click OK button.
5.Close Bookmark Manager and close SeaMonkey.
6.Restart SeaMonkey and open Bookmarks Manager.

Actual Results:  
The changes made to the folder properties are gone.

Expected Results:  
The changes made to the folder properties should remain after SeaMonkey is closed and restarted.

Preferably you should be able to make changes to the bookmarks' top-level folder's properties. If that is not possible for technical reasons, then the Properties button (and also on the context menu) should be greyed out.

Confirmed:
new default name is simply "Bookmarks", [Maybe that's a regression too ?]
but bug is otherwise still valid.

This ability is removed now thus making this report obsolete, closing
