118594 - JS error: redeclaration of const MODE_COMPLETE (contentAreaUtils.js)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Kathleen :Brade]

I see this JS error in my console today on my Mac debug build when I opened a
Composer window:
  JavaScript error:
  chrome://communicator/content/contentAreaUtils.js line 1: redeclaration of
const MODE_COMPLETE

to reproduce:
- start compose
- press "new" until you see the error in the javascript console

this means that the js file is included twice.

Comment 3

[Ben Goodger (use ben at mozilla dot org for email)]

It's only declared once in the js file, this is an editor specific chrome issue.
I suspect removing the include of contentAreaUtils.js from editor.xul will fix
the problem (sidebarOverlay.xul pulls in contentAreaContextOverlay.xul which
pulls in contentAreaUtils.js)
