14180 - when no windows open, non-applicable menu items still active

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 25287

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect, P3)

Description

[Mike Pinkerton (not reading bugmail)]

-Start apprunner
-close all browser windows
-now you're left with a menubar full of things that aren't valid because there is
no current browser window, but you can still select them. At least it doesn't
crash. ;)

Either we want to disable all of these, or use a different menubar which doesn't
have 90% of this stuff in it, since all you can really do at this point is opena
new window, bookmarks, history, or prefs.

reassign

I think I disabled everything. The translate and Charset menu's are not disable
because of what I consider Toolkit bugs. I left anything that launched it's own
window in ( wallet, some of the find code).

I don't believe this is 100% fixed. For example, Find On This Page remains
active although that doesn't make any sense contextually. Some of the Wallet
stuff seems wrong too (eg Safe Form Fill). Reopening - please close if you meant
to do it this way. Thanks! 1999110916 build, Mac OS 9.

Even if this isn't completely fixed, I don't think we have to finish it by M12.

Move to M15.

You can't disable menu items if they're not there at all ... marking dependent on 
32067.

The dependance on bug 32067 is sketchy. The existance of bug 32067 isn't static - 

it comes and goes between builds (it's either a problem on a certain build or 

it's not). I experienced 32067 on 3/18 but not on 3/19. I don't think the two 

bugs are completely related in terms of where they're breaking, either.

Yes, bug 32067 seems to be trunk only; so this bug can still be worked on on the 
beta branch. Removing dependency.

[don]

Move to M16 for now ...

Comment 11

[don]

Move to M21 target milestone.

Comment 12

[Adam]

Should be the other way around but bug 25287 has more recent comments and a
valid target MS.
