579631 - Bookmarks Manager Library Dialog: Select Bookmark in Search Window Should Select Bookmark in Lefthand Outline Pane

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 469421

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement)

Description

[Gregg Leichtman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100626 SUSE/3.6.6-1.1 Firefox/3.6.6

If one searches for bookmarks in the righthand pane of the bookmarks manager Library dialog via the Organize Bookmarks menu item and then selects a bookmark by left clicking on it once, it would be useful, if the first tree node where such a bookmark is located in the lefthand outline pane was scrolled to, if necessary, any folder/subfolder it was in was opened and the bookmark was highlighted. Many times I would like to locate where such a bookmark is placed so that I can move it somewhere else in the tree. I can determine that such a bookmark exists via searching, but I often cannot find it in the tree in the outline pane in order to relocate it. If the functionality already exists I could not locate it and would appreciate a response that states how this can be accomplished.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the bookmarks manager Library dialog via the Organize Bookmarks... menu item
2. Search for any term
3. Click once on a found bookmark in the search window

Actual Results:  
Bookmark not highlighted in lefthand outline pane.

Expected Results:  
Expect lefthand outline pane to highlight bookmark.
