137843 - [freeBSD] ok and cancel buttons in download headers dialog don't work

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[timeless]

mozilla-xlib-freebsd4.4
netscape.public.mozilla.reviewers
no window manager
hacked promptservice and hacked windowwatcher

i started mozilla (navigator)
i selected window>mail news
mailnews came up
i expanded news.mozilla.org
i selected netscape.public.mozilla.reviewers
i clicked the date collumn to sort by date
i got the download messages dialog (same size and location as the other two windows)

console has the following important error:
chrome://messenger/content/downloadheaders.js line 60: window.arguments[0].Query
Interface is not a function

then this message:
Document chrome://messenger/content/downloadheaders.xul loaded successfully

clicking ok triggers this message:
JavaScript error:
chrome://messenger/content/downloadheaders.js line 102: nntpServer has no proper
ties

clicking cancel triggers this message:
JavaScript error:
chrome://messenger/content/downloadheaders.js line 114: args has no properties

The dialog was missing important stuff like a newsgroup, and the number of messages.

Somehow i managed to close the window, but it'd be nice if we:
1. made sure cancel always worked
2. tried to handle the various errors here
3. perhaps we shouldn't have shown the dialog if there were no arguments.

i later selected window>4 ... and got the correctly filled out dialog
note that after selecting download all messages, i'm still stuck with no
messages after 3/20/2002, but that's some other bug.
