I'm noticing a lot of quirks in the bookmark management, but the most critical and reproducible is seen when trying to move bookmarks from the top level bookmarks dir to a subdir. The source bookmarks & destination folder both disappear. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a dozen or more bookmarks in the top-level "Bookmarks" folder. You can make one then copy/paste-paste-paste to make a bunch real quick. 2. Create a new folder "foo" within "Bookmarks". 3. Select 4 of these bookmarks, click-drag them to "foo" 4. If it works fine, select another 4 and move them. Actual Results: "foo" AND the 4 selected bookmarks disappear, usually on the first, second, or third move. It rarely takes longer than that to see the problem. Expected Results: The 4 bookmarks should be moved to the "foo" subdir. When running krdc from a terminal, I see this output when the folder & bookmarks disappear: keditbookmarks(22494) KBookmarkManager::findByAddress: KBookmarkManager::findByAddress: couldn't find item "/5" keditbookmarks(22494) KBookmarkManager::findByAddress: KBookmarkManager::findByAddress: couldn't find item "/6" keditbookmarks(22494) KBookmarkManager::findByAddress: KBookmarkManager::findByAddress: couldn't find item "/0/2" I don't know if this output is related or not, but I see it (with different numbers on the end) every time the problem happens. I've also reported this upstream (this bug is mostly a copy/paste of my report there): https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=255611
Apparently this is an issue with keditbookmarks itself, not just krdc. I can reproduce it by running keditbookmarks directly. With a fresh user profile, too.
Problem still exists on kde-base/keditbookmarks-4.5.4
Any better luck with kde-4.6.1 or 4.6.2 (coming this week, stable candidate)?
I finally got a chance to test on kde-base/keditbookmarks-4.6.2, exact same behavior. This is on a brand new kde install, with a fresh user. I can't believe more people haven't run into this, keditbookmarks is unusable for creating folders & organizing your bookmarks in those folders.
After looking at the zoo of open keditbookmarks bugs on b.kde.org, I can only conclude that this piece of code is not really maintained at the moment. No idea what to do here. :(
Not a blocker for stable. It is long time bug in upstream code that looks like noone wants to fix :(
Anyone still seeing this with 4.7.2?
In 4.7.3 keditbookmarks crashes on reproduced steps...
Been away from KDE for a while but finally got some new hardware so I figured I'd check in on this. Still happening for me on kde-base/keditbookmarks-4.7.4. It did take me a little longer to reproduce that before (subjectively), but moving 5 bookmarks at a time, it probably took 10-12 moves before they disappeared. Still a glaring bug, I feel sorry for anyone who's got important bookmarks in a kde app!
Tried this on current kde-base/keditbookmarks-4.8.0 today, behavior is even stranger than before, lots of random quirks until it finally crashes with a segfault. See upstream report for updated symptoms & screenshot.
Is this still a problem with 4.10?
Yes it is. I tested it a couple of days ago after 4.10's release and updated the upstream bug when I saw the same behavior, but I did not update this report.
I can still reproduce issues with 4.11
Its reported upstream, tracking since 3 years. Was never a stabilization blocker so makes no sense to keep this open forever.
