3.6.8: I'm not able to edit the bookmark name before saving it.

In any webpage on any tab: Cmd-d or click star twice. The Edit Bookmark dialog appears, with the Name field highlighted. My cursor doesn't change when placed over the highlighted Name field. If I click or double-click anyway, nothing changes. If I press Delete, the field contents are erased and I can type something in. The mouse still can't be used to move the cursor or highlight any characters in the field. I don't think I had this problem before 3.6.8.

Thank you. I saw no difference, unfortunately. I also attempted to see if I'd changed some keyboard shortcut on my Mac, but the information was impenetrable. I restored defaults anyway. No change.

That was a good suggestion. Got any others? Are me and anonymous the only ones having this problem? Is he/she on a Mac, too?
