190166 - URL window and preferences window don't work

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, defect)

Description

[Konstantin Klein]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

I run Mozilla 1.2.1 on three WinXP and one Linux (SuSE 8.1) machine. Only on one
of the WinXP machines the following occurs, rendering Mozilla all but useless:

Several times a day, the URL window goes blank. When entering a new URL, it is
displayed in the window, but the browser just reloads the page that's been there
before. I can navigate using links or the browser's history, but whatever is in
the URL windows (an URL or nothing) stays there regardless what's being
displayed in the browser window.

Also, yesterday the entire preference tree in the preference window was gone,
requiring a re-install to be able to access the preferences.

Sometimes, a browser restart fixes the URL problem, sometimes it doesn't.

Again: This happens on one of three almost identical machine. I use Enigmal
0.71.0 on all of them, so (although there is a chance that this has something to
do with the failures) I don't think there is a causal relation.
