59463 - xul broadcasters created after observers don't bind

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: XUL, defect, P3)

Description

[Joe Hewitt (gone)]

I don't have time at the moment to create a test case, but trust me on this 
one.  I'm writing an app in which I've got an RDF file that describes a set of 
commands, and set of keys, and a set of menuitems.  The keys and menuitems are 
set to observe the commands.  I add the datasource to the broadcasterset, 
keyset, and menus via javascript.  The observes attribute is properly set on 
the key and menu elements, all elements are created by the templates, but the 
commands don't copy their attributes over to their observers.  

For now this description will have to do, but I'll get a simple test case 
together when I get around to it.

After further investigation, I've determined the problem to be this:

if a broadcaster is created _after_ it's observers, the observers don't bind.

I wrote a testcase for broadcasters and observes elements, just using textboxes.  It seems to work fine with FF3.6.3... WFM?

The bug assignee didn't login in Bugzilla in the last 7 months, so the assignee is being reset.
