21947 - View > Show Images appears active in menu, doesn't do anything

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 22536

(SeaMonkey :: Preferences, defect, P2)

Description

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

not sure if this should go under Prefs (hence cc'ing saari if it's an XPMenus
item), but it seem that the View > Show Images menu doesn't do anything, even
though it's always appears active (not greyed out). tested with y'day's builds
(1999121508/9).

1. go to the Prefs > Advanced and make sure "Automatically load images" is
selected. click OK.
2. go to the browser menu and check out the View > Show Images item

result: it's always appears active (selectable). however, selecting it does
nothing.
expected: it should remain greyed-out (non-selectable) if images are
autoloaded.

Just a special case of the new general bug.

verified as dup.

Bulk move of all Pref UI component bugs to new Preferences component.  Pref UI 
component will be deleted.

am reopening this (as well as removing dependency on bug 21838), since this menu
item is still always "active." in Preferences > Advanced, the checkbox is not
selected for autoloading --my prefs.js has

user_pref("advanced.always_load_images", false);

so i'd think that the menu item would correspond by being greyed-out.

Putting on the PDT- radar for beta1.  If not greyed out, will release note for 
beta.

Clearing milestone and PDT- and marking as a dup.  We have to fix this, and it's 
already part of the work in bug #22536.
