182529 - Category pane of Preferences dialogue does not respond to mouse actions

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 135017

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Mike Deisher]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021126

I click Edit->Preferences and the preferences dialogue is displayed.  I expect that I may click on the "+" symbols in the Category pane and the list will be expanded.  However all mouse actions in the Category pane are ignored.  Clicking on the "+" or the name has no effect.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run Mozilla. 
2. Press Alt-E two times (this displays the Preferences dialogue).
3. Left-click on the "+" symbol inside the small box to the left of the word "Appearance".

Actual Results:  
Nothing.


Expected Results:  
A list of options should be expanded under the word "Appearance".

Have you installed Mozilla in a complete empty directory or over an older build ?

I installed it over an older version.  I assumed that the installer was smart enough to distinguish between an upgrade and a fresh installation.

I just uninstalled, manually deleted the remaining files, and re-installed.  This issue and two others that I filed magically went away.  It appears that this is a bug in the installer and not in the browser.  I've modified the "component" in this defect report to "installer".  Thanks!

you must also rwassign to the default onwer if you change the component because
the developer is different :-)

but this one is a dupe :-)

s/rwassign/ reassign

btw: It's always a good idea to install in a clean directory (see the release notes)
