201117 - helper applications menu scrolling erratically

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 143663

(SeaMonkey :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[kguru]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20030306 Camino/0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla MachO Build 2003040708

In the helper applications preference menu, scrolling is erratic.  If I have a
long list of helper applications (I have about 15 or 16), when I reach the
bottom of the list some of the application types disappear off the list.  When I
scroll back up to the top they slowly come back, though the behavior is very
erratic with the applications coming and going.  However, this bizarre behavior
has been reproducable numerous times.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Scroll through the helper applications preference menu
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
At the bottom of the long list of helper applications, applications suddenly
start disappearing from the list.

Expected Results:  
The list should not have had applications disappearing.

I am running Mac OS 10.2.4.

Confirmed using FizzillaMach/2003040103. Press and hold the scroll-down arrow
until the bottom of the list is reached, then release. Press and hold the
scroll-down arrow again to observe the problem.

isn't there a similar bug out there where scrolling is jumpy? cannot remember if
it's theme-specific...

I would like to report the scrolling problem in Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98;
en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040316. I don't know how many helper apps there are, but
the first one I can display is vnd.ms-powerpoint and the last one is
x-pn-realaudio, a total of 7. I'm sure there are more. Also, I can't scroll to
the bottom of the list. I can see the top edge of another line of text at the
bottom of the display area. If I use the scroll-down button, the slider doesn't
go all the way down. If I drag it down, the entire helper apps box jumps
around---though this gets the slider to the bottom. But no additional helper
apps are shown.

I don't know if this is something new in 1.7b or a, or just something I never
noticed before.
