Right, that's also a reason why I'm still using Konqueror. > but I've /never/ (to my > recollection) had that issue.

In early KDE4 keditbookmarks was totally unusable, I think it was not even possible to move bookmarks around. This has been fixed, but it still crashes often, and the problem I mentioned is quite reproducible. It does not happen every time, but it happens a lot. And that it additionally deletes the very first folder completely is especially annoying, because I did not realize this until much later, when needed the bookmark. Here's a report: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=255611 And I think this is a big problem with KDE4. Such bugs exist for years, and noone seems to care much. Could you imagine Firefox's bookmark editor to be buggy for two years, or Internet Explorer? No, this sort of problems exists in KDE4 only I think. Sorry for the ranting, I know this is free software and so on, but these are the things that make it hard for me to recommend KDE4 to others. People just expect simple things like bookmark editors to work. But instead they crash, and they delete data when doing so. I'm, still a big fan of KDE4, and would not like to change, but I do not recommend it to others. And of course my mom's Laptup runs Gnome, not KDE. Wonko
