506541 - Bookmark info window not always updated properly after deleting bookmarks

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Camino Graveyard :: Bookmarks, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en; rv:1.9.0.13pre) Gecko/2009072600 Camino/2.0b4pre (like Firefox/3.0.13pre)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en; rv:1.9.0.13pre) Gecko/2009072600 Camino/2.0b4pre (like Firefox/3.0.13pre)

STR
1. In the Bookmark Manager, select an expendable bookmark item at the top level of a collection.
2. Command-I to open the bookmark info window.
3. Click the bookmark item again, so focus switches from the info window back to the BM manager.
4. Delete the bookmark item.

AR
Although the next bookmark item "moves up" into the selection when the original selection is deleted, the info window still shows the info of the original, now-nonexistent bookmark.

ER
The info window should show the info of the newly selected bookmark.

The expected results do occur under these conditions:
- If the deleted bookmark item is at the end of the list of items, then the info in the window switches to the newly selected bookmark.
- If the deleted bookmark item is the only item left in the list, then the info window is blanked out.

Moreover, the opposite problem occurs with bookmark items that are not at the top level of a collection, ie. those within folders -- expected results when the item is NOT at the end of the item list, incorrect results when the deleted item IS at the end of the item list.

Reproducible: Always

That's only the case when the folder is the last item in the Manager, because we're trying to select the next item down!?

This bug has been buried in the graveyard and has not been updated in over 5 years. It is probably safe to assume that it will never be fixed, so resolving as WONTFIX.
