[Bug 1043007] Re: "Editing Bookmarks" overwrites what I type in - this is bad.

 

This version is no more supported and is not a 'security' problem; so
does not expect a backport

Title:
  "Editing Bookmarks" overwrites what I type in - this is bad.

Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  When I try to edit my bookmarks in Nautilus, the Nautilus code
  continually overwrites the "Name", even when I am trying to enter my
  own name.

  Whoever wrote this dialog, tried to be too d*mned smart, without
  testing it properly, or getting feedback from users.

  I have several bookmarks whose last subdirectory is, for example,
  "Documentation".

  /media/ENKRYPTED_1/homer/engineering/src/Documentation
  /nfs/box/backups/homer/engineering/src/Documentation
  smb://192.168.21.115/c$/mosaic/Documentation

  The d*ng that wrote this dialog thought that every bookmark should be
  called "Documentation".

  Please don't discard or mess with what people are trying to do --
  you're just upsetting us.

  When I try to edit "Name", very often it trashes what I'm entering,
  replacing it with "Documentation".
