1351939 - Recent Pages missing from File menu until Edit Page is done.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Kevin H]

Attachment: SeaMonkey_Bug.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_3) AppleWebKit/602.4.8 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/10.0.3 Safari/602.4.8

Steps to reproduce:

(1) Opened Sea Monkey 2.46 on macOS 10.12.3.

(2) Opened File menu and looked for Recent Pages.


Actual results:

Recent Pages was missing from the File menu.


Expected results:

It should have been there, as it is in Kompozer. I am used to opening Kompozer and immediately selecting the page I want to edit from Recent Pages. (I only moved from Kompozer to Sea Monkey because Kompozer became very slow on macOS Sierra.)

Recent Pages only appears on Sea Monkey after Edit Page has been performed, which forces unnecessary steps; it should be there all the time.

My workaround is to immediately do Edit Page (on the default page that comes up) and then use Recent Pages to select the page I really want to edit.

I doubt that we have a SeaMonkey problem here.

Left screenshot shows the MAC-OS menu for Browser, right screenshot shows menu for Composer (because last action was in Composer).
It is intended to have no "Recent Files" (or "Recent Web Pages") menu entry for Browser, instead we have the "History"

@reporter:
If you only want to use SeaMonkey as a HTML Web Pages Editor you should change menu 'Edit → Preferences → Appearance - When SM starts open = Composer"
