Can the Edit Bookmark dialogue box be made deeper, as endless scrolling is annoying?

I have a large set of carefully structured bookmarks. Adding to them via the 3.6 Edit Bookmark dialogue is painful, as it is only a few lines deep, so hard to view the hierarchy properly, and as you scroll down, it's easy to miss the folders stepping in. I often end up having to use the Organize Bookmarks window, which wastes time.

Is there a way of increasing the depth of this dialogue to see more at once? I would also rather it defaulted to the hierarchy closed up each time it opened. If not, is this a likely possibility in future releases?

See the screenshots on that page to see how to "drag" the various parts of the window down and larger.

Hey, that will do nicely thanks! I've never understood why more people don't whinge about the standard size box, and why it hasn't changed as standard. Lots of other goodies to play with too...
