212174 - "URL relative to page location" doesn't work well

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 167262

(SeaMonkey :: Composer, defect)

Description

[Peto]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; sk-SK; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; sk-SK; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

The "URL relative to page location" has strange behavior. Sometimes it changes
the status after saving the file, sometimes it returns to previous status
immediately after exiting the menu and returning back to Image/Link properties.
Best visible in Page and Background options when selecting background image.
Sometimes appears with normal links too.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to Page and background properties
2.select an image file for background
3.select "URL relative to page location"

Actual Results:  
The image dosen't work, repeatedly visited "Page and background options" or
saving the file changes behavior of the image, mostly in bad way (image not
visible). Attribute often changes its status between saves or editing the
properties.

Expected Results:  
The background image works everywhere when copied with the page structure.

This is the best reproducible error, but sometimes it misworks even with regular
links or images. I don't see any logic in that right now, but maybe the error
has some individual logic of appearance.

This is a duplicate bug; perhaps assigned to [e-mail]

when you set background image to, for example, "abc.jpg", then after save it
will be converted to c:\....\abc.jpg, entering a full filesystem path.

This is should not be considered a duplicate of 173931. It manifests itself in Page and Background 
Properties (not Link Properties), The relative checkmark is ignored (not a Widget greyed out), it has 
nothing to do with a "list of Anchors" as in 173931, it is All OS's not Windows XP.

This is a serious, critical bug that makes it impossible to create a page accurately in Mozilla 
composer without editing the source in a seperate application if it includes a background image.

Wow! Even though this bug had been incorrectly deemed a duplicate of an
unrelated bug #179391, it appears to be fixed in Mozilla 1.6! In my testing, the
relative link to the page background image file now remains a relative link, and
no longer changes back to an absolute reference as was happening previously.
Whoopie!

Re-duplicating to correct bug.
