Description:
When attempting to edit bookmarks in GUI Tools, Query Browser in WinXP Pro right-click has no effect, no menu appears, cannot edit or delete contents of bookmarks.

When attempting to edit mysqlqb_bookmark.xml in \username\Application Data\MySQL if Query Browser is open while editing, file is re-written without changes when Query Browser is closed. (Feature or Bug?)

If mysqlqb_bookmark.xml is edited when Query Browser is closed, Query Browser reports error and reverts mysqlqb_bookmark.xml file back to default with no bookmark info (I have not been able to replicate this error, so it may have been due to a mis-edit of the .xml file on my part).

How to repeat:
Right click on saved bookmark in Query Browser.

21.5.2. The Bookmark Browser
You can place your more commonly used queries in bookmarks so that you can quickly retrieve them and re-use them later. To add
a query to your bookmarks, highlight and drag it from the query area into the bookmark browser.
Your bookmarks can be organized into folders and subfolders to help with management of your queries. To add a new subfolder
right click on an existing folder and choose the CREATE BOOKMARK FOLDER option. You can remove bookmarks and folders by
right clicking on them and choosing the DELETE ITEMS option. After you confirm that you wish to delete the item it will be removed
from your bookmark list.

Suggested fix:
Unsure

I created a bookmark, saved it but I don't have a way to edit it.

This is similar to my feature request for editing bookmarks #11586.

Many thanks for writing a bug report. We are on the way to implement full functionality of MySQL Query Browser into MySQL Workbench. We won't add this feature request anymore.
