@Randobud,
Are you seeing this issue with Bookmarks in the manager (brave://bookmarks) or in the Bookmarks side panel?

I use manager for most work, editing, sort, etc. Worked fine yesterday before update.

Clarify- I use brave://bookmarks. Have not tested with side bar. Seems to affect mostly folders with larger amount of files. Seems to dup file names/sub folders that hide(overwrite) a different file name but click on dup reveals the hidden file.

As of today, the Bookmark manager is broken for me as well.
the weird behavior is shown in the screen record below:

The bookmark manager is essentially disturbed, and sometimes dragging and dropping a link to a folder deletes the link!

Version 1.71.114 Chromium: 130.0.6723.58 (Official Build) (64-bit)
OS: Windows 10 - 19045.4842

Restored system to 1 day prior via ‘Timeshift’. Brave v1.70.126. Works fine again.
Issue between 1.70.126 and 1.71.114

@Randobud,
Was just coming here to respond — glad to hear that the issue resolved with that but I’m still curious as to why it happened to begin with. Would you be willing to update again and see if the issue reoccurs? Additionally, did/do you have Brave Sync enabled at this time?

Hi, I’m experiencing a similar issue on Windows. Brave is scrambling file names, creating duplicate subfolder names (clicking on duplicate folder names reveals a file name), and files randomly disappear or reorder when I hover over them. I’m using Brave v1.71.114 (Oct 17, 2024).

Sorry, too late to retry, I disabled last Brave release ver in Linux UpdMangr after restore. Not using sync at all, never enabled. Hope you find the bug before it propagates to future releases b/c Brave is a great browser.
BTW where is best place to post minor ‘suggestion box’ improvements?

I have this same issue,

in bookmarks manager, bookmarks are duplicated and scrambled, but if I click if the duplicates in the manager, they change to something else.

This is super annoying

Problem exists for Windows OS user “Smilodon”:

“Restore Bookmarks”

Make sure to upvote this bug on chromium as it is posted there by clicking the +1 icon top right so they know others are affected or this will never get fixed (thanks again for link 289wk)

We’ve opened one on our end as well:

Will likely need to be an upstream fix but it’s filed above in case our devs can lend a hand.

Have either of the 2 recent updates solved this issue for you?

Do you know if this issue has been resolved with the latest updates since it first appeared?

@Randobud I think this issue should be resolved after the last update
