This is a tracking bug for bugs that drivers@mozilla.org consider important
to the success of Mozilla 1.1.  Please do not change the dependencies
in this bug unless you are a driver.
Alias: 1.1
Depends on: 104778
I have some suggestions:
Bug 136110 (UI regression / 4xp)
Bug 56219 (can't paste large things in in Linux, which really stopped me from
using Mozilla to publish large things)
Bug 4302 (interface nigglets)
Bug 151712 (tabbed interface nigglets)
Bug 146558 (imap checking nigglets -- probably a few lines of a lock around
updating current message headers from the timed biff if the user is viewing the
folder)

Nominating:
bug 148598
bug 157401
bug 75121
bug 123668
bug 86319

and as much as can be done about those already marked "mozilla1.0+" :)

Oh, I don't want to forget bug 156287 (mouse over problems) which is also
really, really annoying, a regression for tabbed browsing, and also still shows
up in 2002071509.

I'd like to nominate bug 146884 - frequent 100% CPU usage (hang) if http
pipelining is enabled.
Depends on: QLProfileLoss
Depends on: 137033
Depends on: 91662
Depends on: anxioususer
Depends on: stopthewhining
Depends on: exe-san
And the nominations are...:
bug 32157 [RFE] Title tips (tooltips) for cropped text
          (probably the biggest UI *blooper* in mozilla)
bug 62586 Need Titletips (or tooltips) for Cropped Text in Message Header Pane
          (what was that subject? - the son of mozilla's biggest blooper)
bug 91662 Long strings in mail header cause scroll bars and attachment window to
          disappear, making message unviewable.
          (very visible bug - second biggest mozilla blooper)
bug 92380 Context menu in Personal Toolbar incorrect when Sidebar items selected
          (have you accidentally deleted an entire *bookmark folder* lately?)
bug 73712 Need Win32 and Linux/GTK icon files for each window
          (we need icons, man)
bug 22687 [RFE] PGP Plugin
          (e-mail "security", pie-in-the-sky?)
bug 56052 Support PGP in PSM
          (long neglected, but much *voted* for)
Bug 154230 is a regression that causes scrollbars to disappear on some pages 
that use position:absolute.  It has 8 dups and has been open for about a month.
Depends on: 149952
Depends on: 157830
Nominating bug 147670 - the wrong tooltip shows up for some UI elements. It
already has a patch.
most called problems I've heared:

- bug 142623
this is VERY important, as it blocks localisations

- bug 97283
because this often ends as "Mozilla can't handle mousewheels"

- bug 3655
this makes it more or less impossible to write valid framesets

- bug 8131
this makes imagemaps with a broken image nearly unusable (except you always look
at the statusbar)
Nominating :

For mailnews :

- bug 140599
- bug 150036 

Those two are making my usenet life a living hell :-/
Others I forget to nominate :-/

- bug 56301 (add spell checker)
- bug 66822 (add rot13)
- bug 131164 (improving thread read/unread view in mailnews)

Sorry for annoyance :-/



The yucky memory pig PeopleSoft 8 bug 139769 regression....
test
Depends on: bm-export
No longer depends on: exe-san
No longer depends on: stopthewhining
Nominating bug 126826 ['Back' and 'Forward' buttons not working]
Fixing this regression is really essential.
Someone (preferably from drivers people, if possible) please explain me if it
makes sense to post nominates on "make mozilla x.x not suck" bug reports. I
would really like to post my nominates there but somehow I feel it isn't
appropriate, for various reasons. I noticed taht, of all the nominates posted
there, only bug 91662 has been included in the "depends on" list (probably for 
another reason). Thank you in advance.
Depends on: 154230
Dimitrios: since keywords were not created for 1.1 nominations, posting here is
acceptable, assuming you are much more resonable then your predecessors. Things
like PGP are a pipedream even for Mozilla 2.0, listing them here is just being
an ass. If you have a serious issue (dataloss, regression) that would greatly
effect the quality of 1.1, that drivers@ doesn't already know about, posting
here is certainly acceptable.
Jeremy: don't take the tradition of the PGP-Bug everywhere away ;)
bug 142623, has patch!!!
bug 119796, bookmarks "last visited" appears in "added" field
and finally update notification should be removed from releases cause it simply
doesnt work
Jeremy, thanks. Nominating a recent regression:
bug 153828 - unable to edit bookmarks (quite a few duplicates, highly visible, I
saw novices reporting it in MozillaZine BuildBar Talkback).
And,
bug 138462 - In wizard, cancelling cancel can prevent further use of Mozilla (it
has r and sr)

A few recent crashers have been fixed, so I'm not complaining :-)
nominating bug 96877 it is marked critical and has the dataloss keyword. A shame
that it is still open after almost a year.
Bug 106708 - DnD Data Object format incorrect
has patch and old review
I think the following are really important:

Bug 57724 View-source munging pages
This bug makes web development a pain. You cannot see where the problem comes
from. Simply stated: Mozilla lies about what really is on a web page.

Bug 120327 Sanitize extension-fixup code: Don't add .exe or .txt to files names
of text/plain and application/octet-stream, etc.
This is probably the most frequented bug around.

Bug 143881 No obvious way to prefill form.
Having this wonderful feature to prefill forms becomes almost useless if it is
so hard to access it.

Bug 63182 Flash plugin context menu doesn't disappear on click, like other right
click menus
Very annoying to have the screen overlayed by a menu.

Bug 110949 Edit draft destoys quotes
This makes the use of the drafts folder useless.

Bug 150036 Message cancelling doesn't work
This is evil. Cancel is one of the most important features of a news reader.

I nomintate bug 70213: XP_UNIX DNS lookups are serialized. This is really
important for getting a competable browser for Linux systems.
Nominating Bug 153815 -- it causes eBay to crash Moz every time.  See bug
159146, which was duped to it, for a specific description of the eBay problem.
I'd like to nominate bug 102797: poor IMAP performance on Mac OS X. We have a
fairly safe fix in the bug that I'd like to get onto the 1.0 branch as well.
Nominate bug#150692.
A bug has already existed for long...
minor bug but no fix...:-(  
nominating bug 105292... some big sites like timesofindia.com don't load at all,
and the fix is pretty straightforward.
Depends on: deflate
No longer depends on: 91662
No longer depends on: 154230
Why has Bug 91662 been removed from not making 1.1 suck?
IMHO getting corrupt panes when reading email with many cc's is nasty but maybe
the fix takes too long to meet your timescales!

 Asa, please see recent comments on 91662
Depends on: 124269
I'd like to nominate bug 90337.  The annoyance factor is high, and the
workaround is obscure - my grandmother would never be able to resolve it.
Nominating bug 153080 ("[FIX]shrink-to-fit broken ?"). Currently we print many
many pages not correctly (content is cut at the right border because it is too
wide) due this issue...
I also nominate bug 90337.  Having an URL bar that does not work makes the 
browser completely unusable.  This is extremely visible, annoying and 
embarassing for Mozilla.
No longer depends on: QLProfileLoss
Nominate Bug 150232 which is a regression and interfears with submitting of
forms something that is quite obvious.


I'd like to second Peter Lairo's nomination of bug 92380.  It's nasty, easy to
trigger, and has a short, XUL-only, obvious, low-risk, and reviewed patch available.


I am nominating bug 149152 (Reduce exported functions to facilitate better
runtime search)

It gives (according to the comments) a 30% startup time for (at least) Solaris
executables.
Nominating bug 159424 
because it breaks working applications,
and it also stops me from using Mozilla with build > 20020706xx.
Nominating bug 155402. It's a regression after other bugfix.
No longer depends on: deflate
Bug 157830 depends on bug 29856 (well, to really be _useful_ it does).

It seems unlikely (and inadvisable) for bug 29856 to check in for 1.1.  
From the comments there, it appears to be the kind of memory-allocating, 
function-calling, written-some-time-ago thing, potentially bitrotten in 
some obscure way, that really needs to hit during an alpha milestone if 
possible, and in any case the patch does not appear to be quite ready; 
the last several comments were pointing out issues with it...  

Therefore, bug 157830 is unlikely to make 1.1, even if it does suck.  
Nominating bug 109050

It's improved a lot over the past couple months, but still bugs the heck out of
me (no pun intended).
Nominating list is here.
Performance: bug 161766, bug 161481 and bug 161842
Layout: bug 160887, bug 161818, bug 161853 and bug 161881

Mozilla-2002080108/Mac worked fine, but Mozilla after 2002080208-trunk/Mac is
very bad. Performance is so slow and font displaying is clunky. I think these
bugs are regression. If we leave these bug as they are, Macintosh users will
leave from Mozilla. Stop the bad situation, please. 

> Performance: bug 161766, bug 161481 and bug 161842
> Layout: bug 160887, bug 161818, bug 161853 and bug 161881

Most of these are serious Mac performance and text rendering bugs, that
regressed because of the MathML changes. We need to take fixes on the branch.
It'a also shocking that we didn't catch the page layout regression for so long.

Bug 161934 Crash: Save as ... for mail attachments

Serious blocker. You cannot save mail attachments. And there is more things
which will be dealt with in that bug/patch.

pi
nominating bug 144388 "Should be able to disable download manager for e-mail
attachments".
It is very nasty to double click an attachment and to see mailbox:// entries in
download manager.
Depends on: 161481
Nominating:
bug 32571
bug 47475 (very, very annoying if images are disabled! Has a patch.)
bug 103834
bug 161087 (regression, makes cross-browser XSLT development harder)
I would also like to nominate bug 139258 because without crypto.signText()
mozilla is not usable for some real web applications.
Probably the same will be the situation with Netscape 7.
Alias: 1.1 → 1.2
Sorry, about that alias change I was half asleep, and just typed in a new alias
thinking that it would take me to the new one.
Alias: 1.2 → 1.1
Nominating bug 159704
Nominating bug 162593. Autoregistration is not updating compreg.dat correctly,
causing all kinds of weird behavior. This is a critical problem affecting many
people, see the bug and MozillaZine Build Bar Talkback.
Nominating bug 125987
Depends on: 163598
Nominating:
bug #92380 (dataloss, patch, r=)
bug #139136


Some excellent suggestions for "popular" bugs (many dupes, CC's or votes) here:

bug 163993: [META] Major Mozilla Bugs
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163993
Depends on: 164023
No longer depends on: 164023
Warning:

Language switching does NOT work in current 1.1 builds because of bug 164496!!!

Nominating this bug as a last-minute two-liner fix. If this one doesn't get in,
we'll be unable to use any language/content packs with Mozilla 1.1!
Depends on: 164496
it still suckz, but its released and kind of fixed ...
