If you cut (ctrl+x) a bookmark from a folder in Organize Bookmarks window and then paste it in another folder you lose all the tags associations to that bookmark.

The strange thing is that, if you have two copies of the bookmark and cut/paste one of them, the tag associations are mantained. I guess that "cutting" deletes the bookmark from the current bookmark list and since that, deletes the tag associations too and doesn't restore them when pasted.

In Beta 3 drag/drop of bookmarks in the Organize Bookmarks window doesn't work, but I see that in today's nightly build this is fixed, so I don't think I'll use cut/paste more in the future :)




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. "Cut" (ctrl+x) a bookmark from the Organize Bookmark window
2. "Paste" (ctrl+v) the bookmark

Actual Results:  
You lose the tags, but you don't lose them if you have another copy of the bookmark when cut/pasting.

Expected Results:  
I did expect to mantain all tag associations!
In the future issues with the bookmark system in Firefox 3 should be in the Places Component.
