Have you instaled a third party Theme ?
If yes : Please uninstall all Third-party Themes and restart mozilla.

Comment 5

[Michel Angelo da Silva Pereira]

No, I'm using the Classic Theme, and dosen't have any Third Party Theme.

Hust a last small test :
Can you create a new profile ?
(run "mozilla -profilemanager" and create an additional test profile)

I got this problem, too. Right now at this moment.
Mozilla 1.1alpha, Windows 2000.

I started the Mozilla-Mail application first, then
tried to click on the small buttons in the corner and
also on File->New->Navigator window. No reaction.
(I started a second instance to write this comment.)

The last time, I started mozilla and clicked on the
small button for Mail it crashed and I've sent a report.
Perhaps all the problems are somehow related?

I also have this problem. It is only when in the mail area. I have the modern
theme setup currently. I have the Mozilla 1.1a installed and am running Windows
2000. It does not matter if a current browser window is open or not.

I've seen this behaviour on WinXP professional. It mirrors bahaviour I've seen
previously with Nexscape 4.x.

If I open Mail and use Ctrl-N or File->New->Navigator, I can bring up Navigator
once, and only once. Subsequent tries (keyboard, menu or icon) to open a new
Navigator window do nothing. I have to exit Mozilla and then kill mozilla.exe,
which hangs around even though its systray icon is gone.

I have to logout/login to get Mozilla to get a new Navigator window and then the
cycle repeats.

Marking NEW; Product Mailnews; component MailnewsFE; OS=All

See related bug 143958 perhaps?

Comment 13

[Michel Angelo da Silva Pereira]

Now I'm using this release and its working fine.
Mozilla 1.2a
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2a) Gecko/20020911

Now I don't have any problems related to the new 'Navigator' window.

Thanks

I have got this problem too, but only in the mail&news window. I even cannot
open a Navigator window via the task file --> new --> Navigator window or via
key combination. There is no reaction in each case whereas these functions all
work fine in the Navigator.
PS.: I'm using Mozilla 1.1

[Benjamin Smedberg]

Benedict, could you please try release 1.2a to see if this problem has been
fixed (per comment #13).  Thank you!

Benedict wrote the following in a private email:

"But the problem got already solved. I used an old Enigmail-version .
After updating this, the Mozilla 1.1 runs normal!"
