137983 - Changing many prefs disables OK button!

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 127783

(SeaMonkey :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[nrg]

I've had this bug happen to me several times and it can be somewhat irratating
when you have to press cancel and start all over again.  It occurs when you
change more than a few options in prefrences (not sure of the exact amount). 
When trying to click on OK to save the new prefs, the OK button doesn't do
anything!  The only option is to click on Cancel and start over, this time only
changing 1 or 2 options at a time and pressing OK.

Steps to reproduce problem:

- Go in the Prefrences
- Play around and change options in all prefrences categories
- Try to press OK, it should not work. (if it does, try again by changing more
prefs.)

Expected result: 
- When OK is clicked, prefs. should be saved

Given result:
- When OK is clicked, the prefs dialog box is not closed and prefs. aren't saved.

Let me know if you need more info for reproducing this bug.
I've known about this bug since 0.9.6 i believe (not sure).
I'm currently using Mozilla 0.9.9 on WinNT 4.0

I'm not so sure this is a dupe of bug 127783.  That bug was fixed and verified
in 0.9.9. and the report mentions "Play around and change options in all
prefrences categories". 

Reporter, can you be more specific?  Also, are you using the milestone version
of 0.9.9 or some previous build that might not have the fix in it.

I just verified and it looks like a duplicate of 127783.
As soon as i go in Languages/Content, i can't close the prefs by clicking OK.
However, it was supposed to be fixed in 0.9.9 according to the reports but i
still have get this bug.  I'm currently using the official 0.9.9 release.  Was
this bug fixed before or after 0.9.9 was released?

I'll try to install the latest build and see if it still does this.

Tried to reproduce bug using latest build and failed.
Bug was resolved after the release of 0.9.9
