Go to drag a bookmark into a toolbar folder (or onto the toolbar itself), and Orion will bog down, put up a spinning beachball, blank the toolbar, hang, and think about it for awhile before eventually coming to its senses.

Safari, given the same task, asks what I'd like the bookmark to be called (this is a really nice touch; Orion should copy) and then just instantly does it with no fuss, no delay, no hang, no beachball. The machine has an enormous amount of RAM, so it's not a hardware constraint.

Orion on the left, Safari on the right:

Orion should behave just like Safari on both counts: ask what I want to call the bookmark, and then create/add the bookmark quickly.

    Hey!
    Thank you for the detailed report. I attempted to reproduce this issue but on my setup I was able to drag a new link into a bookmark folder without any issues or delay. If you have the time, could you check if you are able to reproduce the issue on a fresh Orion profile (File -> Profiles -> New Profile...)?

      I will give that a try (I hope tomorrow), first with a completely blank new profile, and then with a new profile which I've populated with a number and distribution of bookmarks comparable to what I have in my everyday profile.

        isocat You can try to open Orion in Safe Mode too.

        Safe Mode is a feature that allows you to launch Orion in a special mode to help troubleshoot issues. To use it, quit Orion and then relaunch it while holding down the SHIFT key as you click the icon.
