Someone pointed out to me, thankfully, that you can
select/highlight a
folder in the Bookmarks panel and Collapse-All folders by
doing
Shift+Left Arrow. The bookmarks certainly are difficult to
use without
that feature.

There really should be a Collapse-All icon IMO.

Agreed, and it's frustrating to me to not be able (as least
as far as
I can tell) to select an individual bookmark by clicking on
it without
it launching.

In the [HotListWindow] section of opera6.ini, add
Hotlist Single Click=0

The alternative is to remember to Shift+Click to select.
Perhaps if
we used Opera as much as the developer who chose to code
that, we'd
learn to like it.

Hold down the CTRL key when you click; or right-click then
press the ESC  
key. Or, in Opera 9 you can open the opera:config page,
expand the  
HotListWindow section, and uncheck the box next to Hotlist
Single Click  
(in previous versions of Opera this option is probably only
controlled by  
a setting in the opera6.ini file).

Often there are several ways to understand a given set of
facts; some of them may be more useful than others.
