Drag & Drop Re-ordering of sites not working in 2.8
tjslater Fri, 09/12/2008 - 08:03
The Drag & Drop feature is one that I used often to make sure my most-visited sites were in a specific order. When I try to drag & drop, FD puts it where IT wants, not where I tried to drop it. It used to swap sites between the two slots, but it no longer does that.

Thanks for the further feedback.
Well, I don't know what happened to my bookmarks but the problem stopped after resetting FF a couple of times
Could you please clarify exactly what you mean by "resetting" Firefox.
Do you mean restarting Firefox or something else.
Thanks
The problem I'm still having though is with the thumbnails in Fast Dial. I can't rearrange them to where I want.
OK
We need to try and find out why this is happening.
Can you confirm that this same error message occurs each time you do this.
Don't forget to clear the error console each time
Thanks
BTW did you I wonder manage to send off your Bookmarks Backup file to telega ?

I tried to rearrange the tiles again and see if an error popped up in the console but no luck this time.
OK
No problem
Thanks for trying that out.

Submitted by EricaS on Mon, 09/15/2008 - 14:30Sorry, I meant restart. I haven't sent my backup file since I haven't had any more errors with my bookmarks. I don't know how it will help with the thumbnail problems. Is there anything else I should do?

I haven't sent my backup file...I don't know how it will help with the thumbnail problems.
There are a number of people experiencing these "thumbnail problems"
At the moment the cause remains quite unclear.
Hence the usefulness of sending off your bookmarks backup.
If this behaviour can be reproduced then a fix can be made.
Is there anything else I should do?
Nothing else comes to mind.
The important thing is to find the cause of your problem so it can be fixed.
I will keep you posted.

Once you have backed up the file, send it as a file attachment to telega
Thanks for doing that.
If telega can reproduce the problem that would be very useful.
Many thanks for all your help

did you try nomad's suggestion
Had the same problem, fixed it by going into the bookmark manager, right clicking on the troublesome folder and selecting Sort by name.

Submitted by telega on Tue, 09/16/2008 - 16:20Thanks to EricaS cooperation I was able to track down and fix the bug - version 2.11 is updated with the fix.
The bug was appearing if "Fixed" thumbnail size option specified in preferences and FD page has a scrollbar.
