Build ID: 1999071417 Platform: Windows 98 (haven't tried Mac OS or Linux, but the problem is presumably cross-platform) To reproduce: - Launch apprunner - Select Bookmarks | Manage Bookmarks… Result: A window is created with four column headers: Name, URL, Shortcut URL, and Description. This does not make sense; having both URL and Shortcut URL seems redundant and confusing. Expected result: 4.x browsers just have "Location (URL)" instead of both of those options. I would expect the nomenclature to stay the same in 5.x for usability's sake.

It's a new feature. Hence the additional UI. Pick a bookmark with some incredibly long url and select Edit|Bookmark Properties. In the shorcut field type something like 'myshortcut'. Close the bookmark window and type 'myshortcut' in the location toolbar and press return. Voila like magic your bookmarked page appears.

Summary: Bookmarks - Too many column headers in window → Bookmarks - 'Shortcut URL' should read 'Keyword'

Reopening. According to the spec, the column header should be 'Keyword' and not 'Shortcut URL'.

slamm netxt time you touch the bookmarks windoiw code, can you please remove all columns from the bookmarks manage window (execpt for two: Name and URL)) for beta one in order to increase performance, as has been discussed with jevering/hyatt. Thanks!
