Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[[e-mail]]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0

In the bookmark manager window, when adding tags to bookmarks, if I switch from a bookmark to another, the tag checkbox list resets its position. This could be no problem if I have little (<20) tags, but can become irritating if there are many, many more tags (think about 100+)and I have to check the same checkbox for an entire group of bookmarks.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open the bookmark manager (you should have already at least 10-20 tags for your bookmarks to notice the checkbox list reset effect)
2.go to a folder with many bookmarks
3.for the first of the bookmarks, scroll down the tag checkbox list, and check the last tag
4.then click on the second bookmark (the tag checkbox list resets)
5.for the second of the bookmarks, scroll down again the tag checkbox list, and check the last tag
6. and so on...

Actual Results:  
every time you change bookmark in the bookmarks manager window, the Tags checkbox list resets its position.

Expected Results:  
the checkbox list should not reset its position. At least, it should be available as a configuration flag...

We are just starting now to use this wonderful feature of firefox 3.0; at the moment, many people will have only few tags, but their number is going to augment very soon, and this could become a more diffuse and important problem
