If I then add a bookmark to that folder (using Add Bookmark As...) and then examine the bookmark folder from the browser menu, the "(Empty)" item is still there along with the new bookmark just added. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create a new bookmark folder - use the personal toolbar folder to make observation easier. Observe "(empty)" item from bookmark dropdown. 2. Go to a page. Use Bookmarks > Add Bookmark As... and place a bookmark in the newly created folder. 3. Observe folder again - two items exist in folder. Actual Results: Two bookmark items appeared in folder - one "(Empty)" and a new bookmark. Expected Results: Only the new bookmark should have appeared - the empty item should have disappeared. The empty items disappear upon broswer restart.

Marking NEW, seeing this as well.

seein it too, win98, 2001-05-08-17-trunk. Don't need to restart browser here, all new windows created after changing bookmarks show menu correctly, all windows created before show the "(Empty)" item.

I created many new folders and moved bookmarks to them using manage bookmarks, and only some of the folders said empty above the bookmarks. So this is not always reproducable.

I find that it is always reproducable for me by draging the bookmark icon from the URL bar to the new folder on the personal toolbar.

To reproduce: * go to bookmark manager; * create new folder; * go view folder -- should contain (empty) item; * add new item to folder; * go view folder -- should contain (empty) + new item; close, restart. * go view folder -- should contain new item only.

Possibly related, from bug 33723: ------- Additional Comments From neil@parkwaycc.co.uk 2001-07-30 06:04 ------- A possible problem with this is that it's difficult to tell if the menu is really empty - content and RDF can both update them dynamically - IIRC the content update can alter the effect of the RDF update so there isn't a late enough event to catch. Or is there?

Using Mozilla 0.95 built on FreeBSD using the ports tree: I just want to point out that the null (Empty) folder at times only shows up in the Personal Toolbar listings. That is, if you see a folder in your Peronsal Toolbar with two items, (Empty) and Foobar, if you look at the same folder through the Main Toolbar->Bookmarks, the (Empty) entry is not there; only Foobar is there. However, if you have a doubly-nested folder in your Personal Toolbar, say FolderFoo:FolderBar, then the problem still occurs in roundabout Main Toolbar's access to the Personal Toolbar.

doing this from dupe bug 113569. 1. Select the "File Bookmark..." menu item to file a bookmark 2. In the Add bookmark dialog, using "New Folder..." to create a new folder 3. Add the current bookmark to the newly created folder 4. From "Bookmarks", when selecting the newly created folder, there is a (Empty) item in it using 12-17-03 (w2k) it dropped it down to the bottom of my root bookmarks list. It could be an issue with the selection != what is focused (or implied focus as is the case here) [ie. this could be about indexes of bookmarks are not the same].. which is another bug and probably related somehow to losing and miss placing bookmarks which occur as problems about deletion/focus/move/insertion in bug 114256 and bug 114215, & others.

I am disagreeing with Comment 2, at least on Win 98 Build 2002050608 -- my new windows still have empty for my new empty PT bookmark folders. But (Empty) _is_ also missing for me in any folder to which I have added/moved in a bookmark and then moved/deleted it. I am guessing that this is the same problem (just as I am guessing that Bug 140981 is a dupe of this one, or at least dependent, as reporter thinks that will be fixed when this one is fixed).

Okay, I change my observation. The following bit is wrong all of a sudden: "But (Empty) _is_ also missing for me in any folder to which I have added/moved in a bookmark and then moved/deleted it." In fact, it seems pretty much up in the air about when the "(Empty)" is missing (but definitely after restart). Also, "(Empty)" is present sometimes even after I make a folder not empty... so it's super-inconsistent, sorry. (Now I _definitely_ think that Bug 140981 is a dupe).

Created two new bookmark folders. The first did not encounter this problem, but the second did. This only occurs in the browser that I created the folder under. New browsers that were spawned from this did not have this issue.

I can reproduce this as describe in comment 29. I was just google-ing and found bookmarking useful sites as I went, by going click on the Bookmarks menu on the personal toolbar, selecting "File Bookmark...", and then using the "New Folder..." button to create a new folder. I then double clicked the newly created folder and created the bookmark there. Subsequently going to the Boomarks item on the personal toolbar, then to the new folder displys a greyed out "(Empty)" item, plus the items which I'd added. This behaviour is on 2002-06-11-08 running on Windows XP Pro.

In v1.1 /Win95, this bug is still there; Right now, I see: *New window: no empty. *Bookmark from TOP menu: no empty. *Bookmark from Personnal Toolbar: empty present ! As someone wrote about events: could it be related to the Personnal Toolbar somehow no refreshing itself as much as needed ?

With "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:1.2a) Gecko/20020910" Bug (2 parts) is still there: 1) Right-click on PersonalBar, 'New Folder': added and showing 'empty' inside = good. 2) Drag&Drop URL from NavBar to that new folder: impossible = not allowed at top and bottom, and does nothing over 'empty'. 3) Then, I add it at bottom of folder by Drag&Drop to a ManageBookMark window... 4) Display is correct from Bookmarks menus (MenuBar and PersoBar), but 'empty' is still there from the folder directly on PersoBar.

"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016" Bug still there: *see AC#43 *With v1.2b, 'Empty' stays on Bookmarks PersoBar also: only the top _Menu_ is good.

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux sparc64; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030215 I figured I would throw in my $0.02 regarding a work around here...maybe if you follow the code path you can figure out why this works: o Assume I have 2 or more folders on my "Personal Toolbar" o If I file a bookmark into a folder in my "Personal Toolbar" I will see the "(Empty)" there. o If I "Manage Bookmarks" and drag the folder containing the "(Empty)" and the new bookmark and place it above or below the other folder within the "Personal Toolbar" the "(Empty)" goes away immediately. I do not even have to exit the bookmark manager for this to happen. This is always reproducable! Happy hunting, Jordan.

[Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312] Bug still there.

[Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030401] Bug seems fixed somehow: The greyed '(Empty)' entry no longer appears (in any case): only an empty (very small square) folder :-) The fix may be included in bug 160019 resolution: Could pch (= chanial(at)noos.fr) confirm this ?

I've seen this bug on Windows ME, build 1.3.1 final.

This WFM now, with build 2003052508, maybe bug 205378 fixed this too? Can anyone verify and mark it as WORKSFORME?

tried it with Win2000, Build 2003052608 and new folder in personal toolbar. The empty entry is not seen anymore, but there is a small square, as long as the folder is empty. This is not a big error, but doesn't look very professional ;-)

The little square, I believe, is a GTK+ issue. Gaim, which uses GTK+ 2, also has the same square when I attempt to drop down an empty menu.

No, the little square is our doing.

IE has a disabled "Empty" text.

This bug - as it stands - is fixed by the bookmarks rewrite last year. So resolving as FIXED. However, if anybody considers this small square a bug, I'd suggest to open a new bug because this one is long enough and really about a different issue. (You might still mention the bug # here if you do so)

The small square bugs are bug 192624 (Firefox) and bug 262231 (Suite).
