it still worked in Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b)
Gecko/20050115

Any chance of a narrower regression window?

Comment 3

[Robert O'Callahan (:roc) (email my personal email if necessary)]

Trunk Seamonkey Mail seems to be OK for me.

Comment 4

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

this seems to be working for me using 2005021706-trunk seamonkey bits on Windows
XPsp2.

some notes: I hadn't set mozilla mail or browser as the windows default apps for
those tasks, but it still seems to work for me. it also still worked whether or
not I had a mozilla browser window open. (I don't see the js error rkaa saw either.)

also happens in a 20050202 build. see also bug 282593
Resolving as invalid since nobody else sees this bug.
My main changes in prefs from default is disabling "lookahead" and JS for
mailnews, in addition to some disabling for browser (these abilities are disabled:
move or resize existing windows, hide the stgatus bar, replace or hide context
menus)

This bug and bug 282593 happens to me when in alternate treepane (2+1)
The default treepane works fine.

sairuh: did you test that?

Comment 7

[David Baron :dbaron: (⌚️UTC-4, no longer working on Mozilla)]

Too late for 1.8b1, plussing for 1.8b2, assuming that it is reliably
reproducable with alternate 3-pane.

Comment 8

[David Baron :dbaron: (⌚️UTC-4, no longer working on Mozilla)]

Yeah, I can reproduce with both alternate forms of the 3-pane.

Comment 9

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

ah! yes, with that 3pane modification I do see this.

I'll see if I can repro on other platforms...

Comment 10

[R.K.Aa.]

Lowering severity a notch. But keeping it on related bug 282593 since I believe
that one can lead to dataloss.

Comment 11

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

yep, also occurs on Mac mozilla trunk.

Problem was easily re-created on 2/15 trunk-build(Win-2K) - link click with
alternate 3-pane.
I love alternate 3-pane but I always used "middle click" in order to open in new
Tab. ( using Tab Browser Extentions which is hated by Firefox developers... :-) )

R.K.Aa.: Does similar problem occur on other click operations on link?
 - Right click of the link
 - Click in context menu of the link
   - Open in new window etc. in context menu  
(Sorry but I can't say whether Mozilla's problem or not, because error message )
(when "Open in new windows" contains error message of "Tab Browser Extentions".)

This problem didn't occur on Thunderbird.
(tested with next 2 TB-trunk-nightlies, with no extention, no theme)
 /thunderbird/nightly/2005-02-04-08-trunk/thunderbird-win32.zip 
  version 0.6+ (20050204)
 /thunderbird/nightly/2005-02-19-05-trunk/thunderbird-win32.zip
  version 1.0+ (20050219)

Oh, sorry. You said "middle click" also has problem.
(my "middle click" was probably hooked by extention.)
But my question is on "Left Click in context menu".

[Christian :Biesinger (don't email me, ping me on IRC)]

0001: aPropName
$[0] = [string] "location"
0001: this.mUntrustedObject
$[1] = [null] null

called from:
     68 function getContentFrameURI(aFocusedWindow)
in contentAreaUtils.js

0001: isContentFrame(aFocusedWindow)
$[3] = [boolean] false

window.content is null.
