278975 - Will not properly load drop-down javascript menus if I visit after closing Quick-Launch.

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[George]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a6) Gecko/20050111
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a6) Gecko/20050111

If I Close Quick-Launch feature, then run Mozilla, it defaults to my homepage
(www.bobandgeorge.com).  The javascript drop-down menus do not work properly
until I visit a couple sites, then close the browser and open another one. 
After which, it works fine until I close Quick-Launch again.

This bug occurs regardless of my current home page.  This bug continues if I go
to any of the following as well: http://www.bobandgeorge.com 
http://www.rpgworldcomic.com  http://www.slackerscomic.com/destinydreamers/

These are the only javascript drop-down menu sites I visit on a regular basis,
so it probably holds true to any other sites that use a similar script.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right-click QuickLaunch and Exit Mozilla.
2. Double-click desktop icon for Mozilla.  (This also loads QuickLaunch again)
3. Visit http://www.bobandgeorge.com/
4. Look at the tiny square followed by a list that belongs in the drop-down box.
   (Note: The first item in the list is blue as if it were the highlighted item
    in the box.)
Actual Results:  
A tiny square followed by a list that belongs in a drop-down box.  The first
item in the list is blue as if it were the highlighted item in the box.

Expected Results:  
There should be a drop-down box that each item when clicked on will jump to a
specific page.

Default theme is the one I use.

Attachment: Picture of what bug looks like and what it looks like when normal.

The left image is the bug as described.  The right image shows what it normally
looks like if I click through a few bookmarks, close Mozilla, open it again and
go back to the page.

Correction, shutting down Mozilla whether I close quicklaunch or not causes the
javascript error to occur.  Additionally, the pattern that seems to correct the
problem is specifically visiting www.bobandgeorge.com, then
www.rpgworldcomic.com, then back to www.bobandgeorge.com (All done via my
bookmarks on the Sidebar), close Mozilla, open it again and it works.  Closing
the browser again causes it to stop working again and a need to repeat the process.

WFM, I can't reproduce this bug with Mozilla 1.8b1.

Does it have to do with activating or de-activating the Quick-Lauch feature
before closing it??

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
