141837 - Can't launch new window

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Tom]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.0.0+) Gecko/20020501
BuildID:    2002050210

In build 2002050210 and 2002050207 (the last build that I've tested that wfm is
2002050110) anything that tries to open a new window (not including the original
window that appears when Mozilla initially launches) fails in that no new window
opens. Moreover, after trying to open a new window and then exiting Mozilla the
original window will close but the Mozilla processes will remain in memory and
have to be killed off by hand. Actions that don't work include launching
mail/news, new browser window, addressbook, composer, link that opens new
window, etc.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Mozilla
2. Do something that requires that a new window be opened

Actual Results:  Nothing happens except Mozilla processes won't unload after you
exit the browser. (It's as if a Shrodinger's Cat window was opened, it's there
but it isn't.)

Expected Results:  New window should open

Can you please try a new profile ?
(run "mozilla -profilemanager" and create an additional test profile

Do you build yourself or do you use a mozilla.org build ?
)

I'm only using mozilla.org builds, however ...

I created a new profile as you suggested and that seems to have fixed the
problem. (I must admit that the profile I was using was ancient and crufty.) 
Marking invalid.
