133452 - unable to display 'netscape messenger express' webmail interface

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 132952

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Rudmer van Dijk]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.9+) Gecko/20020325
BuildID:    2002032503

mozilla is unable to display the webmail interface (netscape messenger express)
since build 20020319xx. In the javascript console the following error is present
(2x):
Error: redeclaration of const hide
Source File: chrome://wallet/content/walletOverlay.js
Line: 1
Two (empty) frames are present, with source code. the size of these frames does
not have the size when the webmail interface is correctly displayed.

And after reloading one of the two frames:
Error: popup has no properties
Source File: chrome://messenger/content/mailNavigatorOverlay.xul
Line: 100

after disabeling the line which declares const hide I found out that the
declarations of const enable and const disable are also double.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log in



Actual Results:  No webmail interface

Expected Results:  webmail interface

Looks like a duplicate of the document.write() bugs we've had 
ever since the patch for bug 123899 was checked in around the time
you mention.

This caused bug 132673 "last thing in a script created with document.write
does not show", and many bugs have been duped against it; for example,
bug 132952, "Problem with viewing your mail acnt once you are logged in"

That sound just like this bug. I'm going to reassign this to 
DOM Level 0 and dupe this. The warnings you're seeing in the
JS Console are red herrings: they occur at many different sites.

Duping this against bug 132952.

Rudmer: could you confirm this? You'll have to get a new build
made after the patch for bug 123899 was backed out, which was 
done today, 2002-03-26, at 04:34 Pacific Standard Time.

If the bug has gone away with the new build, you can mark this
bug "Verified". If not, you can reopen it - thanks.

OK, verified.

For build 2002032603, from dir 2002032605 (mozilla.exe from 5:27h) it still did
not work.
For build 2002032603, from dir 2002032610 (mozilla.exe from 9:39h) it works again!
