Bookmark Confusion

I often like to bookmark a website in multiple folders (e.g. School>Research and Work>Energy). I used to be able to do so by clicking the bookmark star as many times as I wanted and selecting the folder I wanted to save the page to and the page would show up in each folder I saved it to. Now for some reason, when I try to bookmark something in one folder it removes the bookmark from the other folders I saved it to. This is not good for me, why is it happening and how can I rectify this ridiculous change? Thank you.

If you click the star then you edit this bookmark, so it gets moved to a different folder. A way to get multiple copies of a bookmark is to create a new bookmark and drag the tab or padlock icon to a specific bookmarks folder (Bookmarks Menu, Bookmarks Toolbar, Bookmarks sidebar) or do a copy-and-paste.
