Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Composer, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

When I insert an image and specify the alternate text to be used, that text is
not retained. I upload reports to a server that requires alt text and I need to
go back and put them in with a text editor every time. It does not seem to
matter if I do this through the menu (Insert -> Image) or if I right-click the
inserted image and get to the properties that way.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open new Composer window.
2. Go to Insert -> Image.
3. Make sure radio button for alternate text is selected. Enter alt text.
4. Hit OK.
5. Check HTML tab for alt text in the script. Usually it says alt="".
Actual Results:  
I inserted two images, no alt text on the first image, alt text appeared on the
second one.

Expected Results:  
Composer should retain the alt text everytime those properties are specified.

The program does not crash with this bug.

This is reported against a build that is very old.  I don't see a problem with
my debug build on mac from this week.

Resolving as worksforme.

Reporter (Dennis Shubitowski)--please test with a newer build and comment here
if you still see the problem (requesting that bug be reopened).

I downloaded the latest public release 1.3.1, tried again as described and got
the same problem. I have not tried 1.4 beta.

Please try 1.4 daily or 1.4beta; 1.3x is quite old.
