213298 - firebird directory is ".phoeni" in some places, ".phoenix" in others

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 209048

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[charles]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030716 Mozilla Firebird/0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030716 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

after a fresh install of the 2003/07/16 nightly build, and removing all
~/.phoeni* files, starting up firebird creates two directories: 
~/.phoeni and ~/.phoenix.

Inside ~/.phoeni is the `default' directory, ~/.phoenix holds appreg and
pluginreg.dat.  When I restart firebird, it can't find the default
account, so the profile manager pops up, but I can't find any way to
reconcile the two directories from inside firebird.

Possibly-related symptoms:

(1) inside the profile manager, when asked which directory I want
    to use to hold the profile's information, the status label that
    reflects what I've typed truncates the last letter.  So if I type
    in   "/home/charles/.phoenix/truncateme" then the status label 
    says "/home/charles/.phoenix/truncatem".

(2) In recent builds, I've noticed firebird generating two bookmarks
    files, "bookmarks.html" and "bookmarkms.htm".
    Another last-character-truncated symptom?

(3) I've seen similar behavior on the Linux build, though I don't have
    Linux in front of me to see how the latest nightly's behaving.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. remove ~/.phoeni*
2. install a nightly binary of firebird
3. run firebird

Actual Results:  
two directories were created - `.phoeni' and `.phoenix'.
further firebird sessions couldn't find the default
account's preferences.

Expected Results:  
had a single directory, ~/.phoenix (or ~/.firebird?) and kept
all the settings there as it's done in the past.

further pathname truncation symtom:

in the bookmarks editor, go to `import bookmark file'.
My real home directory is "/users/ckerr".  The directory
firebird picked in the _Look in: edit field is
"/users/cke" (two characters truncated).  After pressing
the "Go to home" button, the edit field became
"/users/cker" (one character truncated).

This bug is a duplicate of 209048.

You need to install Solaris patch 112689-02.
