175343 - Intermittent problem with CTRL+click and middle mouse button

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[eric lindvall]

I have noticed problems in the nightly builds starting at 2002-10-14-08-trunk
where when you used ctrl+click (or the middle mouse button) to open a link in a
new window, the link would turn red, but nothing would happen. (no window would
open)

It seemed to happen every time on the 2002-10-14-08-trunk and
2002-10-14-16-trunk builds, and seemed to go away on the 2002-10-16-08-trunk build.

On one of my machines running the 10/16 build, after using it for a day, the
problem came back.

Both the machines I am using are WindowsXP.

unable to reproduce on win2K and rh8 with builds from today. Please try a new
build, installed into a new directory and with a new profile. Let us know if
that still fails. Thanks.

just to make things more interesting, it seems to have been working in
2002-10-18-08-trunk, and broke again in 2002-10-19-08-trunk.

it seems that after i removed my profile, it started working again.

is there a way to keep things working from one nightly build to the next without
losing all my settings?

Phoenix is still changing a lot, so starting with a fresh profile is always
recommended when you try a new build.

Mass-verifying of old bugs.
