Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030407 Phoenix/0.5+

The keystroke for hiding an application is Cmd-H. Personally I rather liked
Cmd-H as grab selection and search, but Apple seemed to have had their way on 
this.

Go to Home does not need a keystroke, and it would seem that Cmd-Shift-H
would do for Open History. This may seem a tight fit, but Cmd-Opt-H and 
Cmd-Ctrl-H are still available.

Actually, I am not sure that a Cmd key is needed for Toggle display of
the Sidebar.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Press Cmd-H
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
The History has a 50% probability of appearing.

Expected Results:  
Phoenix should have hidden itself

Works in today's build
Sorry, spoke too soon. Firebird starts with this correct, but the keybinding 
Cmd-H flips spontaneously.
Confirmed in build 20030503 on Mac OS X 10.2.5

Actually it works when you've just started Firebird. But when you open the 'Go'
menu, the you see the cmd-H shortcut for the history-sidebar. From that moment
on, the cmd-H shortcut is removed from the hide-firebird menuitem and we have
this bug.

So, I think this can be fixed by giving the history-sidebar a different shortcut
(shift-cmd-H, like 'Zilla ?).
You are right, and I would certainly concur with your suggested
solution.

Is there a set of instructions somewhere for  building Mac OS X Phoenix?
Summary: Cmd-H short cut key is the Apple standard for Hide Phoenix → Cmd-H short cut key is the Apple standard for Hide Mozilla Firebird
Cmd-H should be used to Hide Firebird.
Cmd-Option-H should hide others (and as of 20030521 build does)

Safari uses Shift-Cmd-H to go to Home.

Maybe instead of History in the sidebar, there could just be a History menu as
in Safari. No need for a button then.
I'd have to relook but I could swear it's either in the Apple UI Guidelines
manual or some other dev manual by Apple that Command H is standard and agreed
to be Hide the program, therefore Command H should not be View history (as it is
now) but Hide Firebird.  I'd agree with above Command, Option, H should be Hide
Others as for View History state another keyboard attribute can be developed for
it using another modifier and/or key equivalent, heck try Control, Shift H or
Option, Shift H or any other assortment.

Either road taken, Command H should be Hide Firebird.

With regards to Comment #9 Paul thanks for the heads up, I knew this one time I
should have sworn [I saw it in some Apple dev manual] lol  Next time I'll bet
myself, hehehe

As of:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030530
Mozilla Firebird/0.6

...this bug seems to be resolved to conform to Apple UI Guidelines (gif
attached)

Can someone else try to replicate it and prove too or disprove with the nightly
indicated that it's not resolved, elsewise as it stands with this nightly the
issue has been corrected.
When first started cmd-h does hide firebird, but once you open the Go menu, it
is remapped to History. This is still occuring on the latest nightly 20030530.
This is the behaviour described in comment#5. So this bug is not yet resolved to
be sure.
See bug 204418 for weird menubar behavior: with no windows open, the menubar reverts to a 
Mozilla menubar which does have the correct History shortcut, but once you open a window you 
get Firebird menus which use Cmd-H for History.

Just a small question:
How is a mac-only bug is verified using a Windows build?
Fixes for Mac OS X only bugs should be verified from people using that OS.

Re-resolving. Please verify this bug if your using a current Mac OS X nightly
build or post a comment in this bug and I will verify it. Thank you.

The nightly builds of Mozilla Firebird for MacOS X appear to not have been
updated since 7/15/03 (ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firebird/nightly/latest-trunk/
is dated 7/15/03.)

I'm not sure how anyone can verify this short of rebuilding the source tree
until that is fixed.
Use the builds from http://smartasfuck.com/mozilla/ as long as there are no
official nightlies.
