169324 - Navigator windows are nearly invisible.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 167663

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Howard West]

For some inexplicable reason today, new Navigator windows are created at a size 
of approximately 16 pixels tall and 4 pixels wide and are totally unresponsive 
to any input I'm aware of to resize them.  I initially thought that they 
weren't being created at all, but after clearing away the other application 
windows, I discovered these very thin slices of pixels on the screen.  They are 
clearly associated with new browser windows I've created with the Command-N 
key.  New slices are created at even diagonal offsets when entering Command-N.

None of the other window types (Messenger, Composer, etc.) have this same 
problem, only Navigator.

I was able to log into another account on this same machine and run Mozilla, 
and get the correct behavior.  I have also removed the installation of Mozilla 
from the machine and downloaded a completely different version, but got the 
same behavior.

It appears that there may be some erroneous, corrupted, or invalid 
configuration information stored somewhere on the machine and  associated with 
the ID I am using when this behavior occurs, but I'm unable to determine where 
that information is stored.

I have seen this behavior with both the 1.0 and 1.01 versions of the Mac OS X 
browser.

Yes, the suggestion to delete the profile's localstore.rdf file and allow 
Mozilla to recreate it solved the problem.

For the record, the height and width of the Navigator window were both set to 2 
in the file that caused the problem.

Yes, deleting the profile's localstore.rdf and allowing Mozilla to recreate it 
solved the problem.

For the record, the corrupted file had height and width both had settings of 2 
for the Navigator window.
