Other Bookmarks - duplicate folder


Description of the issue:
On the left end of the menu bar I have a folder titled Other bookmarks which contain various bookmarks. I have created a couple of sub-folders under Other bookmarks. Creating the sub-folders MAY have started this issue but I am not sure. I have been using Brave for some weeks with the sub-folders in use. The issue just started.

I just created a new bookmark with Ctrl D. The folder offered was “Other bookmarks.” However, instead of placing the bookmark in the existing Other bookmarks folder, Brave created a new Other bookmarks folder on the right end of the Bookmark bar.

If I open the Bookmark manager I see:

Bookmarks
—Other bookmarks
------sub-folder1
------sub-folder2
------sub-folder3
------etc
—Other bookmarks

The second Other bookmarks is at the same level as the original folder. I have emptied the second folder but I cannot delete it. If I place a bookmark in Other bookmarks it places it in the second folder by that name which as I said is on the right end of the bookmark bar.

How can this issue be reproduced?
I have described what I can. I cannot reproduce it because I cannot delete the second Other bookmarks folder.

Expected result:
I expect that adding a bookmark to “Other bookmarks” should do just that. NOT to create a new Other bookmarks folder.

Brave Version( check About Brave):
1.19.84

Additional Information:

This has happened before. I believed I cleaned up my bookmarks by moving all bookmarks from the original Other bookmarks folder to the new folder then deleting the original folder. I then somehow managed to shove the Other bookmarks folder to the right end of the bookmark bar. I am going to export my bookmarks before I try that again.

A bit of an update… Starting with Other bookmarks on the left side of the bookmark bar I created a new bookmark with Ctrl D. I selected Other bookmarks as the location to place the new bookmark. Again Brave created a NEW Other bookmark folders, placed it on the right side of the bar and stored the new bookmark in the second Other bookmarks folder.

I renamed the Other bookmarks folder on the left side of the bar to My bookmarks. I closed Brave, relaunched and opened my latest bookmark from the Other bookmarks folder on the right side of the bar. I Issued Ctrl D and saved the bookmark into My bookmarks. The right Other bookmarks disappeared from the bar.

Strange and rather annoying.
