123224 - No cursor in composer window (etc.)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 123399

(SeaMonkey :: Composer, defect)

Description

[Tom]

I cannot get a cursor in the composer window and am unable to insert text. Most
of the composer-related menu items and buttons don't work. The insert menu
options in the email composer don't work. All of these problems appear in the
2002020208 and following builds; builds previous to and including 2002020121 are OK.

actaully, this would be a smoketest blocker (sounds like composer is nearly
unusable).

Comment 3

[Håkan Waara]

I haven't tried the latest trunk bits, but if this is indeed happening, we
better fix it soon.

CC bryner (is this the same focus weirdness that you reported in another bug?)

Comment 4

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

I could reproduce these symptoms in my optimized build until I nuked
component.reg.  Tom, do you build yourself?  If so, please delete
dist/bin/component.reg and retest?

Comment 5

[Tom]

I don't do my own builds - I use the nightlies. I tried moving component.reg in
/usr/local/mozilla out of the way and restarting but the problem remains.

This is a DUP of bug 123399...I know this bug was filed earlier, but
we have a lot of comments in the other one....
