Tracking bug for Navigator team feature work for MachV

Comment 1

[Alex Bishop]

Bug 11391 was filed and fixed in 1999. I don't quite see how it relates to 
MachV. Bug 113891, on the other hand, makes a lot more sense. A typo perhaps?

Thanks Alex!

Sorry, can I suggest the Bug #114692 and the Bug #114846 ?

For the uninitiated: What is MachV? Is it "Mozilla 0.9.9"?

May I suggest that these bugs be included:
bug 91662, bug 18729, bug 42136, bug 55690, bug 56301, bug 7840, bug 27493, bug
58744, bug 35046, bug 23460, bug 62586, bug 105537, bug 108689, bug 33732, bug

I believe MachV is the codename for the next Netscape 6.x release. Not exactly
sure which milestone it will be based on but 1.0 (or thereabouts) seems likely.
They'll probably be Preview Releases first. Search mozilla.org for 'MachV' if
you're bored. http://mozilla.org/xpapps/MachVPlan/ is worth a look too.

Some of the bugs you mentioned are Mail & Newsgroups issues; this bug tracks
just Navigator features. Bug 102231 is for Mail & Newsgroups and Address Book
and bug 114527 is for Composer. Bug 111246 seems to be the über-bug.

I understand that adding the 'nsbeta1' keyword is still the best way to nominate
a bug for the next Netscape release but I'm not certain.

[OT]
Alex: Sorry, didn't fully realize that this bug was browser only. I moved some
of my suggestions to the other bugs you pointed out. Made me realize that
bugzilly may be a little confusing for semi-experts. We have: 

Mail/News -> composition    AND
Browser -> Editor: Composer

You have to really think about it before realizing the difference. Why not
simply make a TOP LEVEL category for each component (browser, mail/news,
composer, address book, IRC) - plus the other categories (bugzilla, calendar, etc.)?

Comment 7

[Peter Trudelle]

Thanks Alex, you are correct about using the nsbeta1 keyword to nominate bugs
for fixing in MachV. 

Comment 8

[Peter Lairo]

Nominating:
bug 125695 - URL bar selection should be more intuitive and conform to expected ..
bug 66522  - Preferences Mousewheel: Each modifier should be listed separately

Comment 9

[Markus Hübner]

It's a shame that DHTML performance is still that bad and not focused on at 
all for such an important milestone.

Comment 10

[Peter Trudelle]

It is too late in the release cycle to do much about that, and Navigator team
has nothing to do with DHTML performance, that is all handled by Gecko.

Comment 11

[Peter Trudelle]

Mass moving all of my open Nav/toolkit bugs to new owner.

[Simon Paquet [:sipaq]]

Obsolete bug. Netscape no longer works on Mozilla and especially not on MachV.
-> INVALID
