Status: VERIFIED INVALID

Description

[alexander j pierce]

build ID 2002082705.    When launched, a ghost image of the bookmarks drawer
appears in the loser left hand corner.  the bookmarks drawer, bookmarks menu,
and personal toolbar are all blank.   Checked the file, ~/Application

I remember seeing a screenshot of a ghost sidebar at the lower-left corner of a
window on another bug. Petersen, was it one of yours?

Comment 2

[Chris Petersen]

Yes, here's that report:

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164486

However, that problem is related to opening a JS link via cmd-click.

And I bet you see the following console output:

This seems to be an issue updating from older Chimera builds. I'm not sure if
it's a build machine issue, or what.

We need to figure this out before .5 goes out. It could hose lots of people
updating from 0.4.

Another comment from the mailing list:

I don't know if this helps, but I experienced the same splash screen hang when I
downloaded the 27 Aug build. My previous build was Aug 20 (for various reasons,
I was experimenting with ChimeraKnight...). Anyway, I just now reproduced the
hang by downloading the Aug 20 version, running it and quitting it. Then I
re-installed the Aug 27 version and it hung at the splash screen.

So it looks as if updating from the Aug 20 version to the Aug 27 version causes
the problem, whereas updating from Aug 20 to Aug 26 does not (I tried that too)

This appeared to be caused by ChimeraKnight, a utility that was written to help
people update to nightly builds. ChimeraKnight just overwrote the contents of
the Navigator.app package without removes files therein first, leaving the old
.nib files around.
