205445 - have <menuitem id="menu_newCard" at the bottom of the screen

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Mitch Golden]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030507
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030507

I installed this, but Mozilla was running when I installed.  I deleted the
directory /usr/local/mozilla and reinstalled.  The installer reports no
problems, but at the bottom of the web browser, below the status bar, is a
rather tall bar that says

<menuitem id="menu_newCard"
----^

This text is in red, and remains even when I resize the window.  The only place
this text appears in /usr/local/mozilla is in the two files

chrome/comm.jar
chrome/messenger.jar



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Simply open the browser
2.
3.

One additional point I forgot to mention: this text goes away when the browser
is opened after the initial install.  It only appears the first time the browser
opens.

I have never removed or changed any thing. 
I tried to use kdevelop. After that it happens. 
 
<menuitem id = "edit_prefill" 
- - - - ^ 
 
<menu id = "menu_passwordManager" 
- - - - ^ 
 
<key key = "&goBackCmd.commandKey;" command="Back" modifiers="accel"/> 
- - - - ^

This is probably caused by a still installed, incompatible extension from the
prior Mozilla installation. Please uninstall such extensions or delete the
"chrome" folder in your profile directory.
Please report back if anybody does still see this after having followed those steps.

I had this problem (although the exact text after "menuitem" was different), and
it went away after deleting the 'chrome' directory.  I'm using Mozilla 1.7.6 on
Mac OS X 10.3.8, so it's not just a PC/Linux problem.

I have a similar situation with the OS/2 build(2005062316) - a one inch grey
window below the Mozilla Browser with in red -

    <menuitem id="menu_HelpPopup_reportertoolmenu"
----^

Comment 5 exactly describes the situation that I am experiencing with Windows
builds 2005062406 and 2005062506.  I deleted the chrome folder in my profile as
suggested in an earlier comment, but the only thing that changed was that the
default Netscape classic theme showed up.  The same one-inch grey extended
status bar continued to display the same verbage as noted in comment 5.  My
build ID is:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv: 1.8b2) Gecko/20050625

Comment 7

[mike.hitchcock]

Current OS/2 installer build(2005062703) now installs & works correctly
the status bar displays correctly with no additional messages.

Comment 8

[Roy R. Campbell, Jr.]

Installer build 2005062705 for Windows still shows one-inch thick status bar
containing the same verbiage originally documented in comment 5.  Backing off to
Windows installer build 2005062205 returns status bar to normal.

Comment 9

[Roy R. Campbell, Jr.]

I'm happy to report that Windows installer build 2005062905 no longer has the
problem.  The Mozilla browser displays normally again.

<menuitem id="menu_HelpPopup_reportertoolmenu" at browser bottom too big an streatches doesnt return to prio version size

Comment 11

[Andrew Schultz]

the reportertoolmenu message was a separate bug that has been fixed.

Mitch are you still seeing this problem with a recent build?

hermann, if you delete your XUL.mfl file, does that fix the bug?

 I had the same message when I started firefox 2.0.0.6 ('<menuitem id="menu_HelpPopup_reportertoolmenu"'), it disappeared when I restarted firefox(twice). 
Also bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=372273, seems a duplicate of this one.

Comment 16

[Tony Mechelynck [:tonymec]]

The symptom mentioned in comment #0 is most often due to a faulty extension, see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Gray_bar_below_status_bar

Mitch, can you make it disappear by the means described in the Mozillazine KB page mentioned above? Or has it _already_ disappeared?

Comment 17

[Mitch Golden]

Oh, I haven't seen this for a long time.  I don't have any problems with Mozilla anymore.

changing resolution to WORKSFORME as per comment #17
