222575 - when changing themes from SkyPilot to BlueMonkey, toolbar (i.e. back, forward, etc.) displayed twice on same row; change in skin from BlueMonkey to SkyPilot does not occur until browser restart

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, defect)

Description

[Nate]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7

I have the SkyPilot and BlueMonkey themes installed, and both function normally
under usual circumstances. When switching from SkyPilot to BlueMonkey in options
menu (or to Mozilla default), the toolbar with back, forward, home, etc., and
the address bar are replicated on the same row twice. When changing from any
other theme to SkyPilot, the theme does not change upon exiting options menu.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download and install Firebird 0.7
2. Install using the .jar extensiosn from Mozilla Firebird Help (texturizer
website) the BlueMonkey and SkyPilot themes
3. Try switching between those two themes and the default.

Actual Results:  
Toolbar rendered improperly and all webpages in tabs needed to be reloaded
(displayed nothing).

Expected Results:  
Toolbar should only render once, and change should occur every time options menu
is exited.

Occurs for theme switching from SkyPilot to BlueMonkey and back again.

Nate, do you still see this bug with a current nightly build from
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firebird/nightly/latest-trunk and a fresh profile?

I can reproduce this on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7b)
Gecko/20040410 Firefox/0.8.0+

However, I think this might be a problem with the SkyPilot theme.  I installed
about 12 themes that have been updated since the release of the 0.8 milestone. I
can swap between any theme with out issue; as long as I don't choose SkyPilot. I
 tried this over many sessions and swapped between themes other than SkyPilot as
many as 40 times with out issue.  

As soon as SkyPilot is introduced I start to get repetitions of the Navigation
toolbar, the number of repetitions seems to be related to the number of times
the theme has been switched that session. 

I also noticed that if you start with a theme other than SkyPilot and switch
themes about 10 times then choose SkyPilot then Firefox will not display the
Navigation toolbar.

I am going to email the SkyPilot theme designer to see if they have an idea what
could be causing the issue.

I sent the following message to the SkyPilot theme creator.

Subject: SkyPilot theme issues 

I believe that I have found an issue with the SkyPilot theme on Firefox. When
switching between SkyPilot and other themes the Navigation toolbar is
duplicated, this is shown in the following link
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=143564&action=view This has been
filed as a Firefox bug in bugzilla and I was hoping that you could shed some
light on the subject. The bug is http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=222575

Here is his response to the message.

The Sky Pilot Classic theme makes some binding changes to the primary toolbar;
specifically, it add two elements to it in order to display the "endcaps" on the
toolbar (the [ and ] end look.) The problem you're referring to is caused by the
way Firefox dynamically builds its primary toolbar (as part of the "Customize"
feature), as near as I've been able to determine.

The only workaround that I know of is to restart the browser after a theme change.

Not sure if this is something we're even going to try to support, but it does
sound like a bug. Setting status to New for now, though this may end up as a
wontfix.

I'm not sure what browser changes may have affected this but I'm not seeing this button juxtapositioning in the trunk (and haven't for awhile?)

Attachment: This is Firefox after switching to Qute Theme

Quite similar bug happens while switching to Qute theme. I've no SkyPilot
installed.
To reproduce: install Qute theme, then tools -> themes, switch to Qute, the
Navigation toolbars doubles its contents. then if you switch to other thems it
doubles the items again.
All the opened tabs became "untitled" and blank (you loose all the pages you
were browsing in that moment). They don't even close so you have to close the
whole browser program.

I experianced this when switching from the Default theme to FirefoxModern 0.7.1
and back.  The toolbar is replicated once for each switch.  I have no Qute or
Skypilot installed.  When I attempt to remove the extra buttons with
"Customize..", all the menu items and dialogs become inactive until browser
restart.  After restarting, I restored the default toolbar, but this too renders
all menus inactive.  It appears that Firefox isn't re-activating the menus after
disabling them temporarily when the "Customize.." pane is open.
