Steps to reproduce:

For someone who comes here very little and is not familiar with the format or syntax or whatever of the search field(s)/form(s), it is very confusing. It would not work for a couple of my searching attempts to see if what I'm reporting has already been reported, and the search attempts that did work came up with zero results which I hope is a good thing and accurate. Then after I registered an account and it did its own search on what I entered for the title/subject I wrote in, I'm confused by seeing various results pertaining to bookmarks, of "resolved" and "worksforme" and "fixed" and the like. I'm using SeaMonkey 2.49.4, and this copy-and-paste problem is happening, it simply is happening, I dealt with it again this afternoon, multiple times again which gave the final push and inspiration to register a Bugzilla account and describe this here.

Hello. Bookmarks can't be copied. I've tried from the Bookmarks Toolbar cascading menu/list as you select folder names, and also the separate window of Bookmark Manager. I've tried these 3 methods in the Bookmark Manager:

1. Click-and-hold on a bookmark folder and then press Ctrl (I did not try Shift for moving), and then drag the mouse to either inside another folder or in-between 2 folder names I want this folder to be placed between. For one of my attempts, it looked at first like I was copying a folder because the small little plus sign icon in a box appeared when I pressed the Ctrl button and stayed with the mouse pointer as I moved the mouse. But when I let go of the mouse button and the plus sign icon disappeared, no new copy was made.

2. With the bookmark folder I want to copy being selected/highlighted, I press Ctrl-C. Then I select/highlight the bookmark folder that is adjacent to where I want this bookmark folder to be copied to, and then press Ctrl-V. Nothing.

3. Right-clicking on the bookmark folder I want to copy and then selecting the respective option of Copy, and then right-clicking on the folder name that is adjacent to where I want this folder put and selecting "Paste". Nothing.

Actual results:

Nothing changed, not even erroneously putting the bookmark folder somewhere incorrectly. The bookmark folder remains in its original location and no new copy is made.

Expected results:

A new bookmark folder should have been copied/created in the place that was selected.
