388329 - Can't paste a folder with separators/subfolders

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 388337

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Christine Yen]

I'm seeing exceptions thrown by ptm.createSeparator or ptm.createFolder inside utils.js's _getFolderCopyTransaction.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a folder, insert 1 separator or 1 folder into it.
2. Copy (or cut) the folder
3. Try to paste it anywhere.

Actual results: paste does not complete.

You're right - all I saw was it throwing an error from the scoped functions, as some things were missed in the merging of the patch for bug 376004 with the patch for bug 378558...

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.
