My bookmarks are several levels deep [Folder->subFolder->subsubFolder etc]
In version 2.26 I could chose to place a newly created bookmark in any folder or
subfolder.
Version 2.40 only allows me to choose between top level folders.

*HOWEVER* when bookmarking a group of tabs SM 2.40 allows me to pace the new
"folder" under ANY existing folder or subfolder just as in SM 2.26.

Is this a BUG or "OPERATOR ERROR"?


I think it is a bug

When you click on the little triangles beside the folder names, it 
should expand the list.

Here's a screencast: .

That green thing you circled must be new fangled [I date from 
Netscape 4.? days ;]

That works as per your demo.
I was expecting that mechanism when choosing "Bookmarks" from the 
menu-bar and then "File Bookmark" from the resulting drop down menu.


Is current behavior "Bug" or "Feature"?

The same arrows are there when using File Bookmark. You may need to 
resize the window.

It does work, but it's not good UI design. I seems to remember 
"Bookmarks : File Bookmark..." was really easy and quick in the original 
SeaMonkey?

There's a bug in SeaMonkey 2.40 where the "New Bookmark" dialog is too 
small to show the list of folders properly and doesn't resize to fit 
when the list is expanded:



As a workaround you should be able to drag the top or bottom edge of the 
dialog to make it large enough to scroll the list of folders.


Looks like it should be fixed in 2.44.

You can make the dialog box longer to accommodate the list of folders. 
I tried 2.44 briefly but the problem did not seem to me to be fixed.  I 
added code to my userChrome.css file to make the box longer.


/* Increase size/height of the expanded bookmarks panel */
#editBMPanel_folderTree {
min-width:350px !important; min-height:560px !important;}
#bookmarkproperties {
min-height:830px !important;}

Did you try with a fresh profile in 2.44? I'm not sure if those changes 
to UserChrome.css might interfere with the fix. If it's not fixed in 
2.44 using a fresh profile, if may be worth re-opening bug 1249536 or 
opening a new one, since the "tracking flags" indicate it's fixed in 2.44.

I tried it with safe mode, which disables userChrome.css, and it made no 
difference.
