The bug may be a bug, but it is not an interesting one, since the whole Add function is not useful, and should be reverted to what it was until a few weeks ago -- which has apparently been relegated to the Bookmarks menu and a clumsy key combination. I voted for it then to be restored to Add, and I do so again -- if it matters. Your phrase
"for now" gives me hope that something like this will be done If others see a value in the present Add action, I can make another suggestion: The Add, Manage, and Find buttons share as single bar in the Sidebar display; there is also some empty space there -- which could be occupied profitably by a File (Bookmark) button. I guess the present Beta phase is the right time to ask for this sort of change.
