Netscape 4.7

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
empty

Actual Results:

convenient.

I think this bug should be closed and input added to the numerous related bugs on
the subject. A quick search for bugs with 'add bookmark' or 'file bookmark' should put
you well on the way to discovering all that has been said in the world of this enhancement
request.

Both IE 5.5 and NS 4.75 open the bookmarks menu when you drag a link onto it, 
and then let you choose where the new bookmark should be relative to other 
bookmarks.  Closely related to this feature is dragging bookmarks that are 
already in the menu (which only IE allows).

Netscape Nav triage team: this is a Netscape beta stopper.

Dragging bookmarks that are already in the menu is bug 50505.

Comment 6

[Viswanath Ramachandran]

this will work for dragging onto the bookmarks button in personal toolbar, but
not for the menu item at the top of the window. 

Comment 7

[Jesse Ruderman]

This bug just got morphed from dragging over the menu on the menubar to 
dragging over the menu on the personal toolbar.  Is there another bug for the 
menubar?

Not going to happen for mozilla0.9, marking nsbeta1-, resetting target milestone

Marking nsbeta1- bugs as future to get off the radar

Adding helpwanted keyword as Ben is seriously overloaded, and drag-n-drop
bookmark filing waits on this bug.

Also, to be 4xp, dragging the page proxy or any link over *any* folder button 
on the Personal toolbar should open that folder. In 4.x the Bookmarks button
was not on the Personal toolbar; since it is in Mozilla, this will presumably
entail no extra work.

See also bug 81994, dropping a link/bookmark on top of the bookmarks button 
should add it to the bottom of the bookmarks list.

I noticed that dragging links over the Bookmarks menu in the personal toolbar
does now work, with one exception.  It appears that menus below the "second
level" will not open.  For instance dragging over the bookmarks menu will open a
menu containing bookmarks.  Within that menu, dragging over the personal toolbar
menu will open a submenu with personal toolbar bookmarks, but any submenus of
that will not expand.  Loving this feature - works great otherwise! :-)

What this bug asks for is fixed.

Filed bug 100479 to fix what should have been fixed here ;)

Dragging URL or "grippy" over Personal Toolbar or sidebar bookmarks folder
(including subfolders) should open folders.

whatever. I never liked this bug in the first place. The bare minimum
implementation is present in current builds. VERIFIED Fixed with 2001091903 builds
