Thanks, it works! There’s a client-side bug that’s still there, and has been for much longer (but it was much less relevant to me, so I didn’t take the time to report it in detail :-/); if you want to preserve all the lines beyond the first when editing the description of one of your bookmarks, you can’t do it using the Ajax front-end, you need to click full-screen edit. Probably an /m modifier missing on a regex somewhere. My mind (or Carbon) seems to be playing tricks on me; I distinctly remember such multi-line descriptions being editable using the cursor in the single-line Ajax field, and the second and subsequent lines only disappearing during the save, but I can’t reproduce that with Firefox right now, nor with Safari. Wait, I have a VMWare image of XP ... no, the description field is not editable beyond the first line there either. > Also, thanks for the detailed problem report.
