I’m requesting for the existing bug with the Bookmark Manager to be actioned that has been reported in at least 14 duplicate bugs and is still unresolved since 2020!
Issue:
Delete a bookmark from the long list, the page will automatically jump to the top from where you are in the list
Move a bookmark by dragging it from the list into another folder, the page jumps to the top of the list
This can be frustrating for users trying to organize a long list of bookmarks, since jumping to the top of the page every time causes them to lose their place in the list. Behavior should be that after each/any action, users position in the list/on the page should stay the same.
Latest stable version affected:

## Description
When you have a large list of bookmarks (such that you have to scroll down to view them all), if you:
- Delete a bookmark from the long list, the page will automatically jump to the top from where you are in the list
- Move a bookmark by dragging it from the list into another folder, the page jumps to the top of the list
This can be frustrating for users trying to organize a long list of bookmarks, since jumping to the top of the page every time causes them to lose their place in the list. Behavior should be that after each/any action, users position in the list/on the page should stay the same.
## Steps to Reproduce
You must have a long list of bookmarks — long enough force you to scroll to view them all.
1. `Settings --> Bookmarks`
2. Scroll down a long list of bookmarks and right-click to delete one of them
3. Observe page jumps to top of list
4. Repeat process for dragging a bookmark from long list to a new folder

User reported this and also reported that this behavior will happen if you navigate away from the Bookmark manager page. However, I am unable to reproduce this particular part of the issue:

I know that no-one cares about Sync v1 (being disabled and all), but maybe that issue will propagate.
It’s my 100th or so time that I need to clean-up unreconciled sync bookmarks, and I prefer to do it on the desktop version. In doing so currently, moving bookmarks, at some time will reset my scroll position to the top

Description of the issue:The Bookmarks Manager won’t stay still. It keeps jumping to the top of my bookmarks. This primarily happens when I am trying to organize my bookmarks, however it has also happened just when scrolling down the page as well. This problem occurs at seemingly irregular intervals. Sometimes it might be a few seconds. Sometimes it might be a minute. The frequency of this is making it extremely difficult to organize my bookmarks.
How can this issue be reproduced?

the trouble starts mostly at 3rd level (it seems the lower the level, the worst it gets), this is what I normally do, put the cursor…
I’m finding the Bookmark Manager extremely frustrating to use. The problem is that whenever I manage a bookmark by moving it the Manager jumps back to the top of the list of bookmarks.
This problem was also reported in May but seems to have been ignored/unresolved.
when scrolling through bookmarks it ups to the top of the page.

I have bookmarks within folders and sometimes a folder or two WITHIN a folder.
On my bookmarks bar is a folder icon. Within that folder are MOST of my bookmarks. Some of them are folders. When I open one of those folders there are many links. This way I quickly find what I seek and click the link.
Now, If the bookmark manager is opened (instead of using drop down menus) it opens in its own browser page. That page shows bookmarks and folders. At the end of each line on the right side of the pa…
The bookmark manager scrolls to the top every time I scroll down. I have 1500 bookmarks. I like to keep them organized. Every time i try to go in and do anything with the bookmark manager it automatically jumps to the top.
I know that this problem has been going on for years. You would think that a browser that is trying to compete with chrome, etc. would fix this issue!
There appears to be a bug in the new version of Brave Version 1.59.117 Chromium: 118.0.5993.70 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Every single time I delete a bookmark that maybe somewhere down a long list it automatically takes me to the top list when the notification comes that the bookmark was deleted and this is so annoying and makes no sense. In the previous versions when you deleted a bookmark, it just deleted that bookmark tab and left you in place. Can you please make a fix on this annoying fea…
Hey guys, it’d be really cool if you guys fix for this. I did see a couple of discussion about this pop up but I feel like it’s an issue that should be fixed. Not happy with organizing my bookmarks right now. Every time I delete something the bookmark manager scrolls straight to the top and occasionally when I try and scroll down it’ll jump back to the top once more. Is this issue not fixable? I get that I could just power through it (no pain no gain lol) and at this point in time I will, but he…
How do I stop the bookmark manager from always scrolling back to the top of the page? I have a lot of bookmarks to sort through, and this is frustrating. Thanks for any help.
(BUG) In brave browser desktop, dragging or deleting any bookmarks anywhere within “brave://bookmarks”, brings it top, not staying where it is.
This bug started with updated that were received since October 2023. Didn’t faced this with older versions.
I have too many bookmarks, it brings me on top, just wasted my time of dragging myself to down where I was before.
This bug is with all versions of Brave browser desktop.
Cant show any images but one can try doing this process in brave bookmark…
I asked about this recently, but got no response. There seems to be a bug causing the bookmark manager to always scroll to the top of the page. Also seems like something others have been waiting a while to be fixed. Is there anything I can do until this gets fixed? Thanks.

I totally agree with you! People have enough of this bug and has been reported to development team so many times now. They don’t care at all about us! I don’t understand how seriosouly hard is to fix this mess once in for all for everyone. I manage hundred and hundreds of bookmarks and this idiotic bug where you delete a bookmark and resets back to the top and you lose your place is serious what idiot on your team designed this and refuses to fix it? So many of us have enough after you pushed that disasterous bookmark manager update.

It’s better than it was. In the past if you selected a bookmark in a long list of bookmarks, within a minute the page would scroll to the top. That isn’t happening for me now. Though when deleting a bookmark it will jump to the top of the page. That is something that didn’t happen before.
I haven’t tried reordering bookmarks in a long time because it didn’t work for me.
Edit: I left the bookmarks manager page open for a long time while writing this post. When I returned to the bookmarks manager page, more than fifteen minutes had passed. The page did scroll to the top automatically. I don’t know how long it took for that to happen. The last item that had been selected was still highlighted.
