Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030526
Build Identifier: 

There is a couple of bugs, still appearing in the 1.4rc1 release notes, although
they are already fixed. This leads to a growing release notes page, not showing
any progress in fixing bugs to the user...

The bugs, which should be removed, are:

* Navigator - If the Location Bar does not respond to the Enter/Return key, you
can use the temporary workaround of pasting the URL into File | Open Web
ocation. To fix it, close Mozilla , then delete your history.dat and
localstore.rdf. (Bug 90337)

* Mail and News - Mail account identity is not stored along with an unsent
message. (Bug 59548) 

* Mail and News - Address Book - Copying a large number of addresses between
address books may cause crash. (Bug 82991)

* Printing - Mac OS and Linux: Transparent backgrounds are printed as black.
(Bug 137114, 137115) <- Linux should be removed, because Bug 137115 seems to work 

Reproducible: Always

There are two new features added in 1.4 cycle that I would like to get included
in the release notes:

* XPointer support (http://www.mozilla.org/newlayout/xml/#linking)
* WSDL (high level web services) (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/webservices/)

FYI, bug 206550 is about updating the I18N release notes for 1.4.

I found that editing users.js is mentioned in a few places including under the
heading of "Setting User Preferences using user.js"

http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.4rc1/index.html#setprefs

On the other hand, 'about:config' is only mentioned in a passing manner. I guess
it has be mentioned more explicitly because it offers a more user-friendly way
to change otherwise unexposed configuration options within Mozilla. 

I also suggest that we define a new CSS class 'mozmenu' and enclose all the
references to Mozilla menu (e.g. 'View | Text Zoom') with '<span
class="mozmenu">' and '</span>' as I did in my draft for I18N release notes
(attachment 124524 [details]).
