169198 - Add "Raw View" tab to View Source window

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Core Graveyard :: View Source, enhancement)

Description

[laszlo]

It would be very useful to have a tabbed View Source window (like in Composer),
with the (default) tab showing the parsed and highlighted source converted to
lower case (like the untabbed  View Source interface does at the moment), and an
additional tab with the "raw", unparsed, not-highlighted source like it was
received over the net.

Most of the time I'm only secondarily interested in what Mozilla does to the
code to be able to highlight (and render) it. First of all I want to see the
source as Mozilla received it. The lack of this feature is one of the few points
that forces me to use other tools. I think many developers will agree with me here.

Confirming as RFE.

Don't know if I'm allowed to do this. If I am, I think it cannot be totally wrong.

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.
