145693 - blank homepage in second browser window

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[trang le]

I selected mozilla.org as my homepage. When I opened the first browser window,
it  was ok but when I opened the second browser window the homepage was blank.

It happened in this version of mozilla(RC2) and also in version 0.7 which comes
with redhat 7.1.

I ran redhat 7.1

Works for me. I've opened the second window with "File/New/Navigator Window" and
I've seen http://www.mozilla.org.

> What you said is true, but If you click on a mozilla icon to open a new window
then you will probably got a blank page.

No, I got a second Mozilla page.

trang: Are you using an RPM build?

Comment 4

[Andrew Schultz]

From reporter:
Yes, I used  rpm build.

-------------
the startup script included with the rpm build attempts to use x-remote to open
a new window off of the existing mozilla process.  If there are no arguments, it
just opens with a blank page.

If you want it to open a URL, you will should add the URL for the icon, just hit
the "home" after the window opens, or do File->New->Navigator Window.

bug with a recent build of mozilla (for example, 1.1beta)? if so, please comment

the behavior described by trang has not changed, but is the way it's supposed to be.
