659862 - Cannot change the name of a bookmark anymore

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 659277

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Tony Mechelynck [:tonymec]]

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:7.0a1) Gecko/20110525 Firefox/7.0a1 SeaMonkey/2.2a1pre ID:20110525003002

- When using Ctrl+D I can type a name into the dialog
- In the Bookmarks Manager I can type a new name in the bottom pane
- In "Bookmarks → (right-click a bookmark) → Properties" I can type a new name

but in none of these cases does my new name "take". The name recorded for a new bookmark is now exclusively what was in the titlebar; for an existing bookmark it is whatever was already recorded as that bookmark's name.

Until yesterday I used:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:6.0a1) Gecko/20110417 Firefox/6.0a1 SeaMonkey/2.2a1pre 
ID:20110417003006

where this problem didn't happen.

from memory, I'd say this regression happened in May (maybe around mid-may ??)
I'll what I can find for a more precise window.

The problem do not affect the 2.1RC2 version (cut on 20110520 ??).

There are probably some changes we need to port from Firefox trunk.

Comment 4

[Tony Mechelynck [:tonymec]]

In addition to what I mentioned in comment #0, when creating a new bookmark by pasting-in a URL after right-clicking a folder, then "New Bookmark", in the Bookmark Manager, it is impossible to name the new bookmark anything other than "New Bookmark". I'm bumping the severity to major.

Will be fixed once Bug 659277 is fixed.
Dependency or DUP?

If this is the only thing then dupe. No need to rush, though. Let's just see if it all goes away once that other bug lands, and if that's the case, mark as dupe.

Locally confirmed that this will be fixed once bug 659277 has been fully fixed.

Comment 9

[Tony Mechelynck [:tonymec]]

Now that bug 659277 is FIXED, I can again:
- Rename a bookmark by means of the bottom pane of the bookmarks manager
- Bookmark a page by Ctrl+D and give it a non-default name in the process
- Right-click link => "Bookmark this link" and giveit a non-default name
- File => New Bookmark..." in the Bookmark Manager and name it something else than "New Bookmark"

...all of these work. => VERIFIED.
