164542 - URL bar unresponsive when new browser window created while Mail/News is minimized

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 82534

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Rich Ellis]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530

The URL bar is unresponsive in a particular situation when Mozilla is started
"again" (i.e. clicking Mozilla icon in Start Menu while it's already running).  

If a browser window is already open and you start Mozilla again (from the Start
Menu), a new browser window will be created and everything is fine.  This bug
only happens when Mail/News is all that is open and it is minimized.  If you
restore the Mail/News window and switch back to browser window, the URL bar will
resume functionality.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Start Mozilla.
2.  Open Mail/News
3.  Close any and all open browser windows.
4.  Minimize Mail/News.
5.  Start Mozilla again (from the Start Menu or other desktop icon).


Actual Results:  
URL bar will not allow typing or deletion of current text (start page URL).

Expected Results:  
URL bar should work!

Using Modern theme

I just tried this with build 2002082304-TRUNK on Win98SE, and I don't see any
problem. Try upgrading your version of Mozilla and see if that fixes your problem.

thanks for the great bug report Rich!

the fix was checked into mozilla on 2002/06/19.
and it looks like you're using the 1.0.

try 1.1, it's far more stable, and should (almost completely) resolve this bug.

file another, if you find it using the latest builds.

Thanks.
