can't move menu items in menu editor

[[e-mail]]

I created a "New Menu" (called "screenlets") as a sub-menu of the "Other" folder and moved some menu items into it from the "Other" folder. The first menu item I moved to the new menu, successfully got into it. However, a copy of the item was still in the "Other" folder. Later, all the other menu items I tried to move into the new menu refused to go in. The menu item would disappear from the "Other" folder (implying that the menu item had moved to the new menu) but then promptly reappear back in the "Other" folder without having moved anything to the new menu.

You should not move things into the Other menu or create new things in it. It's the place where unfiltered things go.

I am surprised its causes a problem though. If you don't expect users
to use it then why not protect against that?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Could you try to reproduce the same with Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04? Thanks in advance.
