156011 - Visited links not appearing in different colour in Mozilla sidebar

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Sidebar, defect)

Description

[Simon Willison]

This issue is mentioned in passing bug 33786

Mozilla does not appear to display visited links in a different colour in
sidebar panels. If you view the URL above in the standard browser and follow a
few links, they appear in purple rather than blue. If you add the page as a
sidebar all links in the sidebar appear blue no matter how many times you click
on them.

Comment 1

i think this is just an undocumented feature, the sidebar links are default
colour black, not blue, which is probably why they dont change

Comment 2

[Simon Willison]

I don't think that's the reason as custom sidebars are HTML documents and can be
styled with CSS - the sidebar in question uses CSS to specify the link colour
and the visited link colour, but only the link colour rule is observed by Mozila.

re comment 1
for bookmarks and history sidebar channel, links are in black (having them all
in purple don't really make sense :p) but for other sidebar channel, all links
are indeed in blue.

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.

This is WFM for web panels in the sidebar using SM 2.6a1 under Windows.
