b) Works fine with unzipped installer of  official en-US SeaMonkey 2.53a1 (NT 6.1; WOW64;
   rv:56.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0 Build 20170720014833

Was fixed on 08/17.

You might need to manually install it because the version number didn't change. Not sure if it is picked up when installing a new 2.54a1.

Please reopen if not fixed in later builds.
