This is not a bug. When you move focus to the other window, the bookmark dialog is dismissed. That is how the new dialog was designed to function.

I'm surprised there's no bug on this yet. Please file." Doesn't this results in loss of data. I Ctrl+D to Bookmark. Then enter some tags and so on. The I move to another window (or another window could still focus) and comeback and all is gone.

This doesn't result in a loss of data (all the interactions are instant apply), but I can see how this would be annoying. Not block the release annoying, but something that would be nice to fix.

As I reported in Bug 423709, bookmark window is dismissed if _it_ loses focus, and not only if Firefox loses focus. It's very annoying and misleading IMO.

It's not really a window, it's a context menu and thus behaves like one.

Whether or not it is supposed to happen or not, it still does this in the latest nightly build of firefox 3.1b3pre. It does not matter how the dialouge box is brought up or if you are switching windows or just clicking anywhere outside of the screen. The same thing still happens.

Ok, this should be confirmed and priority changed to minor.

Bug 451915 - move Firefox/Places bugs to Firefox/Bookmarks and History. Remove all bugspam from this move by filtering for the string "places-to-b-and-h". In Thunderbird 3.0b, you do that as follows: Tools | Message Filters Make sure the correct account is selected. Click "New" Conditions: Body contains places-to-b-and-h Change the action to "Delete Message". Select "Manually Run" from the dropdown at the top. Click OK. Select the filter in the list, make sure "Inbox" is selected at the bottom, and click "Run Now". This should delete all the bugspam. You can then delete the filter. Gerv

The popup is behaving the same way as the rest of the arrow dialogs we have - dismissed when focus is lost. We shouldn't have special handling for the bookmarks dialog.
