143422 - XUL cache should be flushed when switching content and language packs

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 142623

(SeaMonkey :: Themes, defect)

Description

[Aleksander Adamowski]

I'm using trunk build 2002050821, tested this on Windows 2000 and Linux.

Currently it seems that XUL cache isn't flushed when swithing between content or
language packs, and it results in mixed language menus/dialogs.

To reproduce this:

1. Download a non-english language and content pack (e.g. from
http://mozillapl.sourceforge.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=NS-SourceforgeDownloads&file=index)
2. Install it
3. Enter Edit->Preferences and change Language and Content pack to the installed one
4. Restart Mozilla

You'll get menus and dialogs that are still in English (or a mixture of English
and selected language), but:

5. Close Mozilla
6. Delete XUL.mfl (XUL.mfasl on Linux) from profile directory
7. Start Mozilla

Now everything is properly displayed in the new, selected language.

A fix for bug 133798 might be needed to fix this one.

This is fastload, not XUL cache...  Duplicate of "No reload of Language strings
due to XUL FastLoad"
