I'm using the 2001083003 mozilla build (from ftp.mozilla.org) and I'm not having
problems.

I'll investigate.

strange. I don't see this bug with a 15 minutes old CVS build, linux.
I see something is funny with file dialogs though - none appear on any Save or
Open attempts. Perhaps related.

twalker, are you using turbo mode?  I just installed the commercial bits, and 
turbo mode was enabled by default.

Comment 4

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

ah, yes, in the commercial bits all the toolbar icons are disabled!

investigating...

[Tracy Walker [:tracy]]

seth, I don't know about turbo mode  How do I tell if the installer is using it 
or not?

Comment 6

don't worry about turbo mode, even with it turned off I see the same problem 
with the commercial bits.

Comment 7

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

I don't see this in mozilla, so the most likely suspect is some commercial 
change.

twalker, can you confirm that the mozilla build is ok?

Comment 8

Comment 9

Comment 10

[tao]

 it.

Myself and seth are investigating this now in my system. It looks like it fails 
in getting aimRDFDataSource.

mscott tells me that aim error is a red herring, it's been there for a while.

suresh is going to try backing himself out and see if that fixes it, I'll going 
to try backing out other change to the ns tree and see what happens.

ok, it is fixed.  this should be a bugzilla bug.

suresh added a command update handler with the same name as the one we use in
the mail js.

he added it to App.js (which is for the stand alone aim client), but that js
gets sucked into the tasks overlay.

so the mail command update handler got overridden, so no mail commands worked.

the fix is in.  I'll go log a bug on suresh to break apart App.js so that tasks
only uses the js it needs (this will help performance for things that use the
task bar).
