If the cache preference is set to "Every time I view the page", when I create a 
new composer document, the caret is missing and all of the icons are disabled on 
the toolbar.  The editor appears completely broken (can't quit/change prefs/etc.)

Note: I commented on the different behaviors of this preference in bug #97626

We need to investigate and get this fixed soon!
We probably miss the load notifications.

Cc darin, I think he backed out some code last week that caused a similar problem.
when did this start happening?
Charley said he saw it possibly as early as Thursday 8/23.  I wasn't able to try
Thu/Fri builds due to installer crashes and working from home on an old tree,
but I saw it on Monday's build.
this seems to work fine now... tested with linux build 2001/10/01-08

Reopening bug; I still see this with my Mac debug build from the trunk today.
Be sure to set your cache preference to "Every time I view the page"
Then create a new composer page and type "abc" (note: do *NOT* click in the 
window/editing area).

Results: no characters are shown in the editing area and the toolbar along the 
top is disabled except for "New"

Note: if you do click in the editing area, the caret will be placed and you can 
type but the toolbar isn't enabled.

I do not see this bug if I change my Cache preference to another option.

Marking nsbeta1+ per syd. Need to fix for composer usability.
Keywords: nsbeta1+
During last weeks prefs horkage my cache sizes (disk/mem) were set to 0 without
my assistance. That caused me to see this bug, even if my pref for cache was set
to compare "Automatically". I had to write something in a blank page before the
menuitems and icons enabled.

So: Cache size 0 is also a culprit.

seems to me that imagelib depends on the cache, and without it stuff starts
breaking.

Imagelib doesn't care if the cache exists at all.  It will happily just go and
redecode.  This sounds more like a focus or XUL document loading problem (or
maybe XUL cache?)

This is not a focus or event problem.
This problem only happens when the cache preference is set to particular settings.

Reassign to Syd for better reassignment.

pavlov:  i thought that some image loads depend on the image cache.  i recall
some sort of pattern for certain chrome images in which an image load would only
succeed if it came from the cache.  i'm not sure this is by design, but i think
it would explain this problem.

iirc: i noticed this when rewriting the resource protocol.  i had a bug that
caused problems for res/arrow.gif, but not other chrome elements.  there is
something different in the way res/arrow.gif is loaded.
Is this really a nsbeta1+, P2? If yes, then we need to try and targeted to a
mielstone M1.0 or earlier to make the beta.

EDITORBASE triage: Need to discuss this with Darin
plussing, reassigning to darin

-> syd (why did you reassign this to me?)
Assignee: darin → syd
Darin: the reason you got the bug is that it happens because this combination of
cache prefs result in editor not getting the onload notifications it needs to
initialize itself.
i don't know the first thing about how or when onload handlers fire... are you
sure there isn't someone more knowledgeable about such things who could take
this one?  i'm open to learning more about onload handlers... but i'm pretty
busy right now with other things :(

no chance of me doing this
Assignee: syd → cmanske
not much chance of me either!
Kin: any idea what we can do about this?

I just tested this again and I don't see the problem. 
I believe it was fixed by the fix for bug 128134, which bypasses the cache when
we load any URL into a Composer window.
