WFM in my debug mozilla build.

Comment 2

[Patty Mac]

Brian, I just checked again on Mac os 9.2.2:
There's a java console windows on Mac os 9.2.2 with netscape branch
build:2002-07-29-05-1.0.0.
But it seems not appear on Mac os 9.2.2 with netscape trunk build:
2002-07-29-08-TRUNK.

On os 10.1.5, there's a java console window in both netscape branch/trunk builds
(2002-07-29-05-1.0.0) and (2002-07-29-08-TRUNK)

Sorry, I wasn't specific. I'm running OS 9.2.2, and my Mozilla build is a trunk
build. Can you test against a Mozilla trunk build? Can you also identify when
this last worked?

Brian, I will test on the mozilla trunk build. I haven't tested on the netscape 
trunk build for a while. Recently, I only test on the netsape branch build. The 
reason I installed on the netscape trunk build today since I have couple bugs 
need to verify on the trunk build only and that was why I found this bug.

Brian, I already tried two mozilla trunk builds on Mac OS 
9.2.2 (2002-07-30-03-TRUNK) and (2002-07-30-08-TRUNK), 
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/2002-07-30-03-trunk/mozilla-mac-trunk-
full.bin
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/2002-07-30-08-trunk/mozilla-mac-trunk-
full.bin
they both never launch the browser so I couldn't able to check the java console 
window.

I have more info:

It's so strange, if I installed the mozilla trunk build:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/2002-07-30-03-trunk/mozilla-mac-trunk-
full.bin

(1) There's a 'mozilla' icon displayed on the desktop after the installation is 
done. I launch from that icon on the desktop, the browser won't launch at all.

(2) So if I go to the the folder that I created 2002-07-30-03-trunk, there's a 
"mozilla" icon in that folder, then click on that icon, it launches the browser.
why? any idea Brian?

(3) Once the step #2 works, if I go back to step #1, it always launches.

(4) Go to Tools > Web Development > Java Console
Note: There is no java console window.

Brian, what is your mozilla trunk build?

Comment 9

[Brian Nesse (gone)]

My build was a 7/29 debug build from the trunk (pulled around 8:30 am).

It sounds like the application is ok (step 2) so there is probably something
wrong with the alias on the desktop (like it's not pointing to the target
application correctly.)

I don't expect that this is a debug vs. non-debug issue, but it could be a
packaged vs. non-packaged build issue.

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".
