175796 - Can not bring up other windows (such as mail and news)

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Joseph McDonald]

I switched to 1.2beta and now I can not bring up any other windows listed under
the "Window" menu.  For instance, when I select "Mail and NewsGroups" or
"Composer" or "Address Book", nothing comes up.  Also, the icon for chatzilla
seems to have disappeared.  I also tried the daily build as of today and have
the same problem.  The windows do not come up with CTRL-1, CTRL-2 etc either.

Reporter: please next time use Bugzilla helper to report a bug: 

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?format=guided

Did you istall 1.2b over the previous version of Mozilla? Close Mozilla and try
deleting the file components/compreg.dat in Mozilla directory and see if the
problem still exists. If yes, go to Tools -> Web Development -> JavaScript
Console and post any error messages you see there to this bug.

I removed my default profile directory
C:\Documents and Settings\Joseph\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\...
and now everything is working fine.

I had tried renaming my XUL.mfl file, but that did not fix the problem.

I had installed MultiZilla in a previous version of Mozilla, perhaps that was
the problem?  In any case the problem is gone now.

marking INVALID per comments 1 and 2

Comment 4

[Wesha]

verified as per comment 2.

Patrick, we usually use INVALID for resolving things that are not Mozilla bugs;
and WORKSFORME for bugs that "been there and then disappeared".

WESHA: i think best would've been duping this to the main compreg.dat bug. 

In this case i chose INVALID (over WFM) because the reporter actually needed to
do something to fix it and i considered that not to be a mere "works for me"

argh...one of those mondays ;)
