88947 - Imported Bookmark Descriptions Truncated

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 86974

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[jahf]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)
BuildID:    2001062815

Multiple line descriptions are chopped off after the EOL character. Netscape 
4.76 stored the original bookmarks. Not sure if they are truncated on 
importing, exporting or upon saving of bookmarks.

The procedure for this was copying my (insanely huge) bookmarks file from my 
Netscape 4.76 installation and importing it into a fresh Mozilla 0.92 
installation. Examples of the file imported and results are below.

I'm using the Talkback version of the 0.92 binary release. I'm running on 
Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 with 256MB RAM. Will provide any additional 
information about the configuration on request. 

Example 1: Netscape 4.76 version with multi-line descriptions (search 
for "Username:") (328KB)

Example 2: Mozilla 0.92 version with truncated descriptions

NOTES: 
	* There's another issue in this bookmark file, I'm reporting that in a 
separate bug report. If you see the bookmarks "bloat" in size then that is the 
other issue.

	* I deleted the actual usernames and passwords from this file ... but 
the difference is still illustrated.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a bookmark with multi-lines in Netscape 4.76
2. Export that from Netscape
3. Import into Mozilla

Actual Results:  data after the first line is gone

Expected Results:  Saved the descriptions as-is -or- replace the EOL and keep 
the data
