Bookmark Management issues

When managing Bookmarks using two tabs in the dual pane (side by side) layout, moving bookmarks from one folder to another causes the originating location / tab to jump to the new location (that of the other tab). Can there possibly be a setting to prevent this?

@ozone1979 I tried it myself just now. For me, it "jumped" the first time I moved a bookmark. But after that, it stopped jumping around on subsequent moves.

Maybe this is a bug.

@ozone1979 here's a tip, I used to do the same thing until I figured this out. Instead of dual tabs with tiling, use one tab and the Bookmarks Panel. There are several advantages:

Directly to your issue, the tab and panel will keep separate views. Both the location and the open folders will be unique between the two.
The Panel doesn't have that big vertical waste of space that the extra tab has which shows the details of the highlighted bookmark
The Panel has additional sorting options, e.g. you can sort by Date Added which I have found to be very useful in managing my extremely large bookmark library - I'm approaching 100,000 bookmarks.

It might be good if different tabs had different views, but I also see the utility in having a Bookmarks tab open using what was the most recent view state. Using the Panel has alleviated any pain points I used to experience trying to use two tabs to manage bookmarks.

Much thanks, bonetone.
This method does work better.

If the bookmarks are in folders on the bookmarks toolbar, you can simply drag and drop them to move them.
