Description

[Grace Bush]

Tested on all Mac OS 8.6-9.1

Nothing there but 'about balloon help' and 'show balloons'

(picking macos 9.x to indicate that this isn't a Linux PPC bug)

ugh, badness --also see this in the later respin: 2001.07.06.12-branch comm.
moreover, when i close all windows, i cannot dropdown any of the menus [except
for File, which displays the brief Help menu grace described above], none of the
keyboard shortcuts work either.

anyone have any ideas what happened? to say the least, this needs to be fixed
soon.

i don't have a recent trunk build handy --anyone perchance see this on the
trunk?

wfm with 7/2 branch. someone just did something with the hidden window, perhaps 
they messed it up

Using Mac OS 9.1 on branch build 2001070903
Close all windows in upper left corner and go to File/Quit
Nothing there but 'Help' on taskbar

Note: I did reproduce what Grace saw on the 7/6 branch build (nothing there but 
'about balloon help' and 'show balloons' as well.

I'm in the process of updating by branch tree, will look into this as soon as
possible.

this seems like a likely culprit:

XML Error in file 'chrome://global/content/hiddenWindow.xul', 
Line Number: 47, 
Col Number: 1,

Well, as soon as my branch build is done, and I find the problem, Simon has gone 
off and posted a patch. ;-)
