520987 - Not possible to copy a bookmark directly

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Michael Graubart]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4pre) Gecko/20090903 SeaMonkey/2.0b2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4pre) Gecko/20090903 SeaMonkey/2.0b2

In SeaMonkey 1.x, it was possible to put a given bookmark into several folders by clicking on the bookmark in Bookmark Manager, copying and pasting into another folder. In Seamonkey 2.x this does not work; one has to separately copy the name and location of the site, create a new bookmark, paste name and location and move the newly-created copy to the new folder.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.In Bookmark Manager, click on a bookmark.
2.Copy it (Command-C).
3.Open another folder in Bookmark Manager.
4.Click in the folder and past (Command-V).
Actual Results:  
Nothing

Expected Results:  
The bookmark should now appear in the new folder below the place which had been clicked and where pasting had been attempted.

Mac G4 (PPC), OS X 10.4.11

I confirm this bug in Win XP SP3

Steps to Reproduce:

It is same as in steps 1 to 4

5) restart Bookmark Manager

6) Bookmark isn't in new place

Attachment: Proposed patch

I accidentally removed this vital bit of code which ensures that we really copy (otherwise we assume a move, which is bad if we didn't cut in the first place!)

Pushed changeset 3a35f91ecc51 to comm-central.

If you're looking for changeset 12c1bb7cfeb1, that was really bug 521112.

I note that this has now been marked as 'Working', but it does not work in the new stable SeaMonkey 2.0 on a Mac G4 (PPC), OS X 10.4.11.
