66717 - dragging link into sidebar bookmark panel generates bad bookmark

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 29403

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[leonard]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; m18) Gecko/20010126
BuildID:    20010126

With the latest build (was not a problem with a build from last week), if you
drag a link from the body of an html page onto the bookmark, the name of the
generated bookmark is the url rather than the link name.

Furthermore, if you add the link to the sidebar again (after it has been
automatically selected), it uses the first word of the link name as the url, and
the rest of the text as the bookmark name.  This error happens with any link
text selection.  ie, selecting the "O'Reilly Open Source Software Convention"
link text and dragging it to the sidebar will create a bookmark named "Open
Source Software Convention" with an url "O'Reilly".  selecting the any section
of the link does the same.  On the other hand, using the context menu "Bookmark
this Link" with text selections works fine still.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Method 1
1. Drag link on an html page to bookmark sidebar
2. Drag the now selected Link again to the bookmark sidebar
3. Look at the properties of the newly generated bookmark

Method 2
1. Select any section of a link on an html page
2. drag the selection to the bookmark sidebar
3. Look at the properties of the newly generated bookmark
