9/13 Win98 and Linux builds. 1.) Click on the lock icon to open the Security Manager. What happens: The top tabs are not visible and cannot be clicked on.
This is a blocker. Unknown on Mac, since the Security Manager doesn't even open.
Severity: normal → blocker
Keywords: nsbeta3, smoketest
Priority: P3 → P1
If we switch to a different skin does this problem go away?
Changing to classic doesn't help. It looks the same in Linux, and in Win98, there are no tabs at all, even on the left side.
There have been no changes made to PSM or the PSM glue since Monday. I think this is a regression in the rendering. I've noticed something similar in some buttons e.g. go to Search|Find in This Page, the Find button is messed up. Maybe this is what we are also seeing in Security Advisor.
this bug seems to duplicate bug 44652
twalker is checking if this is fixed in the latest linux respin.
this is still present on the respin linux build 2000-09-13-12-M18
This shouldn't be a blocker in the mozilla tree. We don't even ship with PSM. PSM isn't even available for Mac. Besides that, the only screaming I'd expect from mozilla testers is if SSL was broken. It isn't. I'm recommending we lower the severity on this bug and open the mozilla tree.
we cannot do ssl also with the latest build and psm1.3. john: can you give the bug no. for that bug. The top tab is missing is certainly a serious bug. User cannot do anything in the Security Advisor. Since it was working yesterday and nothing has been changed in psm since monday , something in netscape6 has broken this. this should be fixed.
Nitin is referring to a separate regression, bug 52551 "PSM 1.3 does not work with Mozilla". I disagree that the priority should not be lowered for this bug. This is a serious problem that appeared today on all platforms which prevents the proper display of the Security Advisor. This rendering problem is bound to show up in other places.
SSL is working in mozilla win32 and linux builds with the PSM available from iPlanet. selecting tabs in the manager isn't even a smoketest. our PSM smoketests cover testing SSL with the PSM available at iPlanet and then opening and closing the security manager. We ran for weeks without the primary panel displayed. It was only very recently that it started painting properly.
John, Is there someone in the rendering team aware of this bug and should this bug be assigned to that person because, as I stated earlier, *NOTHING* has changed in PSM and PSM glue since Monday.
cc'ing people. Asa, the difference in the display of Security Manager between today and last week is that there is no workaround - the Security Manager is totally useless as of today.
Comments on mozilla-builds say the security window uses HTML. Where is the HTML source for the window?
AIM saw a similar problem with contents getting chopped off, http://bugscape.mcom.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2302 Playing around with the AIM panel, I saw that is happened in any content area and was related to scrollbars, http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30548
Harish is looking at this
Assignee: ddrinan → harishd
Since the PSM dialogs (when they worked) were completely unscrollable (by design), I sincerely doubt that this is anything to do with bug 30548 (which has been a bug for six months). To answer dbaron's question: the HTML for the PSM panels comes out of (on Windows) the .properties files in c:\Program Files\Common Files\Netscape Shared\Security\ui (and it is some sort of "macroized" markup that is interpreted by PSM [if I can make any sense of it at all]).
AFAIK, TABLE code is having problem handling whitespace/newlines within certain table children ( TR,TBODY,TFOOT,THEAD ). I enabled this due to bug 42429. I spoke to Chris Karnaze about the problem and he/Peter Lubczynski is willing to take a look into this issue. But for now, I'm going disable, by backing out, whitespace/newlines inside the above mention table elements. Adding karnaze@netscape.com and peterlubczynski@netscape.com to the CC list.
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
It's kinda getting late and the tree is still closed. Will back out 42429 changes tomorrow. Going home now.....
Whiteboard: [ETA 09/14/00]
After conferring with ddrinan, I'm changing the severity to major. Don't hold the tree closed for this one.
Severity: blocker → major
Backed out the patch checked in for bug 42429. Marking FIXED.
Status: ASSIGNED → RESOLVED

Resolution: --- → FIXED
harish - does it mean that the next build(tomorrow's build) will have the fix in it.
I've backed out 42429 change, in order to fix this bug, today ( sept 14 ) at 10:15A.M.
I asked harish to check in his fix despite the bug being lowered to major so that we will pick it up in the respins I expect to be doing later today. the fact that rayw's carpool didn't touch harish's files made the risk worthwhile. in layman's terms, the fix will be in the next respins which will most likely be later today, and at the latest 8pm tonight (we do daily 8am and 8pm builds).
Verified with the 9/22 Linux build.
