69133 - Can't add folders in bookmarks (sometimes)...

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 68539

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[D. Travis North]

It seems rather sparatic -- but I can't seem to add folders in the "manage
bookmarks" window.  I can add a folder, and I get a folder called "New Folder",
awaiting for me to change it's name.  I try to change it's name, then it sports
back to "New Folder".  Then, I try to rename it, and it'll show the name I
assigned it.  But in the list it still shows as "New Folder".  Properties yeilds
similar results -- describing the folder as called by the new name, but the list
still shows "New Folder".  To make matters interesting, it never actually shows
up at all in my bookmarks menu (personal toolbar) or in the bookmarks sidebar.  

Out of 20 times, I got it to work as expected 3 times.

I'm useing build 2001021308 (the latest from mozillazine) on PC/Linux (Mandrake
7.2, stock kernel).

I am experiencing exactly the problem described on the latest builds (Platform:
Win2000 buildID: 2001022705). Given the exact problem (this happens because I
have to scroll down to see the new folder) I have though and the fact that
others think this works, I believe this is a duplicate of 68539. I don't have
rights to mark bugs as dup, so can someone do this (and give me rights?).

I have verified that this works if I delete enough bookmarks to avoid scrolling
down to see the new folder (build 2001022705 Win2000). Therefore this is a
duplicate of bug #68539, marking as such.
