Is there any evidence that Mac 9.X Classic theme users are having difficulty
discovering or using the current close button?

We tried to address this with mpt's original suggestion to use the CSS float
property.  But the float property is not implemented for XUL/box layout.  

Quoting myself from <http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33420#c77>:
``Can't use {float: right;} now since we are blocked by bug 113658.''  

It is conceivable that we diverge some of the XUL based on platform.

You can put the X and the other stuff in separate boxes, and then use
-moz-box-direction: reverse on the outer box for Mac.

This bug is targeted at a Mac classic platform/OS, which is no longer supported
by mozilla.org. Please re-target it to another platform/OS if this bug applies
there as well or resolve this bug.

I will resolve this bug as WONTFIX in four weeks if no action has been taken.
To filter this and similar messages out, please filter for "mac_cla_reorg".

Since Mozilla is no longer supported on Mac OS X pre-OS X I am attepting to test
the remaining open bugs (all 175 of them).

The test client will be the Mozilla (SeaMonkeys) 1.6.

Result/Status: OS -> Mac OS X isn't really OS X like eiter

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.

Query tag for this change: mass-UNCONFIRM-20090614

It's certainly still not mac-alike (2.x).
