113495 - if recent file doesn't open (due to rename), window should not close

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 102538

(SeaMonkey :: Composer, defect)

Description

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

found using 2001.11.30.0x-comm bits on linux rh7.2, winnt and mac 10.1.1.

0. make sure you have previously edited a file in composer --let's say it's
called foo.html. confirm that this file appears in the editor submenu, File >
Recent Pages.
1. rename the file, eg, 'mv foo.html blah.html'.
2. bring up an empty editor window.
3. select File > Recent Pages > foo.html [yes, the old name is still listed
there, which i imagine is expected].
4. you get an alert [expected], saying that the file cannot be found.
5. dismiss the alert dlg.

expected: you should be returned to the editor window.

actual results: the editor window goes away!

is this a duplicate bug?  I thought I filed something a while back...

This issue came up as part of the fix to handle the NS_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND
condition. That bug was fixed and I suggested, but failed to figure out how to
reset the URL to "about:blank" when a file isn't found. My question to you was how 
can we change the URI on an existing channel. We can't start another load request
while in the "nsEditorShell::EndPageLoad" callback loop of editor.
