1246999 - closing the browser window opened at startup disables the SeaMonkey menu items such as Quit and Preferences. Mac OS X

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Not My Real Name]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.11; rv:42.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/42.0 SeaMonkey/2.39
Build ID: 20151103192036

Steps to reproduce:

In Preferences --> Appearance, check the checkbox for "When SeaMonkey starts up, open Browser".  Alternatively I found that by unchecking all options, Browser, Mail & Newsgroups, Composer, Address Book, then SeaMonkey will automatically open a browser window anyway.
Quit SeaMonkey and restart it.
In order to produce this bug on my computer, I must wait at least 10 seconds here.
Close the browser window that was automatically opened.
In the "SeaMonkey" menu, choose Preferences or Quit.


Actual results:

Closing the browser window that was automatically opened at startup disables most of the menu selections in the "SeaMonkey" menu.  Only Services-->Services Preferences still works. 
Quit and Preferences are the most useful two things that stop working. 
The drop down menu still drops down normally and I can click on the selections like Quit SeaMonkey, but they don't do anything. 
Nothing hangs.
The equivalent keyboard Command+Q doesn't work either. 
The rest of SeaMonkey keeps working normally.  OS X Force Quit does not say SeaMonkey is not responding. 
Force Quit SeaMonkey works. 
Right clicking on the SeaMonkey icon in the dock and choosing Quit works.

Closing a browser window that I manually opened from Window-->Browser or Command+N does not disable the SeaMonkey menu.

If in Preferences --> Appearance--> "When SeaMonkey starts up, open", I uncheck all options, Browser, Mail & Newsgroups, Composer, Address Book, then SeaMonkey will automatically open a browser window anyway. When I close that browser window the SeaMonkey menu gets disabled.  If I check the box "When SeaMonkey starts up, open Mail & Newsgroups" then no browser window will automatically be opened.  Then I can manually open and close browser windows, avoiding the problem of a disabled SeaMonkey menu.

Not the same bug as Bug 1239620 - Firefox cannot quit on OS X.
Not the same bug as Bug 1234087 - On the Mac, Cmd+Q or File→Quit do nothing, even in Safe Mode, if all windows have been closed (but the menubar is still there).
Not the same bug as Bug 1230607 - Problem Quitting Firefox Profile (MacBook Pro El Capitan 10.11.1

I can't reproduce the problem (10.11.3) with SeaMonkey 2.39. This is with a late 2011 Macbook pro.

I had my preference set to open a browser window at startup, started SeaMonkey, then waited a bit, then closed the browser window. I can open preferences from the menu and I can quit SeaMonkey.
Anything special/trivial that you do might be of interest here. Do you btw see any errors in the error console (Tools --> Web Developer: Error Console)? Please list them here.

There are many warnings, but here are the errors.

The errors in Comment 2 above were for when SeaMonkey was started while the Preferences were set to open only a browser window.

When I changed Preferences to only open a Mail & Newsgroups window and restarted, the error changed to

None of those errors looks related, unfortunately. Warnings might be interesting too. This is of course when you've encountered the problem.

Comment 5

[Stefan [:stefanh]]

Btw, you're on 10.11.3? If not, does the problem persists if you upgrade?

Comment 6

[Not My Real Name]

Upon first reading that you were on 10.11.3, I updated my 10.11.2 to 10.11.3.  But that didn't affect the bug.

The errors and warnings are not consistent.  I went back to the Preference of only opening a browser window. The problem persists, but now there are no longer any errors or warnings.  When I looked the first time, there were maybe 40 or 50 warnings.

Comment 7

[Stefan [:stefanh]]

OK. I'm a bit lost here since I can't reproduce it :(

Comment 8

[Not My Real Name]

But wait. Now there's about 105 warnings.  I'll copy the first 5 and maybe you can tell me there's an easy way to copy them all instead of one at a time.  I deleted the "source code" part of the warnings.

These are all warnings from the website you visited, so they're unfortunately not related at all :(.

A more interesting warning/error would be from a source file in SeaMonkey itself. You could also check the OS X error console and see if any warning/error pops out when trying to quit. Also, information from about:support (I think it's in the Help menu - I'm not in front of my own computer atm or you can type about:support in the address bar and hit enter (there should be a way getting all info to the clipboard) is interesting.

Attachment: information from about:support

I need more guidance on how to provide a source file in SeaMonkey itself.

I attached a file containing information from about:support.

Below are the warning/errors from the OS X error console.

> I need more guidance on how to provide a source file in SeaMonkey itself.

Sorry, I only ment the "source file" references in the warning messages in comment #9. Those warnings refer to a web page, so they're not relevant here (compare them to the source file reference in comment #3).
