Mine too is 3 levels deep and on the order of 500 'marks.  I can edit 
anything by dragging or right clicking as I always have w/o using 
bookmarks manager.  I can right click on any of those folders to add a 
sub folder.  I can right click on any mark or folder to rename or modify 
links (edit).   And of course right click to delete.

There's no issue!  Just don't use Bookmark Manager.  Manage your 
bookmarks in situ.  Ignore the popup.
