182701 - INTERNAT.EXE Launches When Browser Begins

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Internationalization, defect)

Description

[sgtking71]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021126
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021126

The icon for the Keyboard Properties control panel is launched (via
INTERNAT.EXE) after the launch of the browser.  This did not happen until the
browser displayed a dialog window to download the Japanese font after trying to
read a Japanese web page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to any Japanese page without having the Japanese font installed.
2. Mozilla should display a dialog box.  Download the Japanese font.
3. Close the browser and launch again.
Actual Results:  
During the logo screen for Mozilla, the EN icon (English setting for the
keyboard properties) appears in the systray.  This happened with only the
browser.  The mail client was unaffected.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should not launch INTERNAT.EXE, the program that places the icon in the
systray.

I'm not sure if I understand your problem correct or not, but this behavior
sounds good for me:
If you have Japanese font/IME installed in the system, then the IME option icon
(EN for english and JP for Japanese ...etc.) will show up in the right buttom of
the windows status bar in order to let you pick up the IME.

Is this actually a bug or expected functionality of the operating system ?

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
