As I said, the bookmark records text immediately before and after the bookmarked position (or positions, if recording a region).
When you jump to a bookmarked position, it looks for a match of the recorded text that was before and after the recorded position. If a match is found elsewhere (not at the recorded position) then it jumps to that found match position and asks you if you want to record that (i.e., update the bookmarked position and context text).
