Created attachment 313101 [details]
Screenshot of problem

Steps to reproduce:

1. Mount remote location. (in this case davs://...)
2. Add bookmark.
3. Open Nautilus when location is not mounted.
4. Click on bookmark
5. A new entry is created instead of the current being utilised.

This is especially confusing when the bookmark has been renamed to something useful/human readable. A new entry with the address is created instead and there is no indication that the bookmark has been mounted or is being browsed. The bookmark is also rendered futile as there is no click action or eject action, it just wastes space. 

Proposal: Use bookmark entry instead of creating a new entry. If this is not feasible, hide bookmark entry if mounted and relabel new mount entry to that of the bookmark name. Also, make sure to relabel the breadcrumbs in the address/header bar to the correct name. If the address/scheme of a bookmark is needed, one can simply hover over it.

Sorry, Volkner, but this is definitely not a duplicate of bug 751587.

That bug is regarding bookmark paths. This is ragarding visual elements. Please see the attached screenshot.

A third option: always display the mount entry, even if unmounted, if that location is bookmarked.

The end result is almost the same, but this way it shows up in the "drives" section and not in the bookmarks section. Although in this case it would make more sense to call it "Pin to Sidebar" instead of "Add Bookmark". The same thing would make sense for internal partitions (bug 756062).
