86302 - Bookmark Manager either crashes or goes haywire

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Dwayne]

Build 2001-06-09-20, Win2k sp2

Behavior:
When dragging (text?) bookmarks from a page into the bookmark manager, it will
either crash the browser after the second try (delete and add again since you
can't have two), or create a bookmark with a bookmark folder name (i.e. Personal
Toolbar Folder), no location.

Expected:
No crashes, no corruption.

Reproduceability:
Always if patient.  Sometimes I had to lather/rinse/repeat six to eight times.

I have a testcase that I got from a Netscape-generated bookmark file.

Worksforme with 071604 mozilla win32 trunk build on win2K and win98. I tried
dragging that bookmark to the Bookmark Manager 10 times. Half the time I tried
dropping it into a folder half the time into the top level.  No crash, no hang,
no missing bookmark. EWach time the bookmark worked as expected and launched the
metacrawler page.  Please reopen if you are still seeing this with a current
nightly build. Thanks for your help in testing Mozilla and reporting bugs.

Hmm, well, I still can't get this to add, but every time I delete it and reopen
the bookmark manager, it reappears.  I have manually deleted this out of my
bookmark.html file before; I guess I'll do it again and let you know what's up.
 Perhaps there's another underlying issue for that?

I'll even throw up a screenshot just to document it.
