12728 - Cookie nag dialog comes up empty

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 13032

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect, P3)

Description

[Stephen P. Morse]

Set prefs to "warn before accepting cookies".  This is difficult to do right now
because that pref suddenly disappeared from the preference panel (bug 12724) but
you can still set it manually with

   user_pref("network.cookie.warnAboutCookies", true);

Then go visit a site that sets cookies.  The home.netscape.com site is as good
as any.  A dialog appears but it is transparent -- there is nothing in it and
you still see the screen that was below it.  Furthermore, dismissing this dialog
causes the crash shown below.

This used to be subsumed by bug 12137 and so was never filed as a separate bug
report.  But 12137 is now fixed, yet this bug still occurs.  That is why this
new report is now being filed.

Bug 13032 is actually a duplicate of this one.  But I'm marking this one as the
dup for two reasons -- (1) the discussion in 13032 actually describes the reason
for the failure and presents a work-around, and (2) 13032 is assigned to davidm
who is the right person to actually fix this.
