124323 - Active window indicator in Tasks menu should be the same as in Go menu

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Peter Henderson]

See Bug 67139 Title of active window should be checked on Tasks menu, fixed on
2/3/2002 with attachment 67699 [details] [diff] [review].

The Tasks menu now has a dot next to the active window (the items became Radio
buttons). However, on the Go menu, the current URL has a check mark my it (the
items are check boxes). Since the semantics of these menu choices are the same
(can only have one active window at a time/can only have one active URL at the
same time), there should be some consistency.

IMO the Go menu should change because radio buttons communicate the idea of only
one choice being selectable at once, whereas multiple check boxes may be checked
at once.

For the radio/checkbox declarations see:
