21481 - Profile Manager not compatible with MacOS Ja 8.5 IME

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 15264

(Core Graveyard :: Profile: BackEnd, defect, P3)

Description

[Allan Masri]

with Netscape5-Mac-M12-1999120716, with MacOS 8.5 Ja:

1. remove Mozilla Registry.
2. launch Netscape5.

When the profile manager comes up, notice that the IME menu bar has disappeared.
Now the user can only enter data in the default charset. He can't change
charsets, or other character entry options.

Looks like we stomped on something when creating our window.  Any idea how to
avoid that?

Seth, do you know of anything we did that might have caused this?

Moving up to M13. I will have to sit in i18n lab and see what's happening.

Adding Status white board comments from the bug 21844.

CreateProfile profile syntax goes like.....

-CreateProfile "myProfile HardDisk:myDir", where myProfile is the profile name
and HardDisk:myDir is profile directory.

On Mac I guess, it's like
ARGS:-CreateProfile "myProfile HardDisk:myDir"
in a code warrior project file.

Attachment posted int he previous update if the stack trace [Mac stack trace
(reads top to bottom)] from 21844.

I see the Event handling of webshell involved in the failure in the stack trace
chain. Adding danm to the cc list for his input.

Adding simon (sfraser) too. Can you throw some Mac vision into this ?

Thanks.

I sat with allan (masri) to look at the problem. It is not reproducible. We were
able to create a profile (profiel wizard and profile manager) and use the
browser without any problems. Marking invalid.

Reopening to mark as a duplicate of 15264. The original problem was
misunderstood. The problem is that the IME (character entry) menu disappears
when the Profile Manager is invoked. This is not a serious problem, since quick
keys continue to work. But the interface is broken.

Making this a duplicate of 15264 (Profile Manager tracking bug) so it won't get
lost.
