24559 - Device context doesn't support synchronous image loading on Mac

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 6553

(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

[Simon Fraser [no longer active]]

nsDeviceContext.cpp contains the lines:

NS_IMETHODIMP DeviceContextImpl::LoadIconImage(PRInt32 aId, nsIImage*& aImage)
{
  // XXX synchronous image loading doesn't work on mac yet
#if defined(XP_MAC) || defined(XP_BEOS)
  return NS_ERROR_FAILURE;
#endif

This causes Mac to fail to show the little badge icons for images that fail to 
load or a bad.

Is this historical cruft? Should this work now?

The last time (1999-09-13) the #if defined(XP_MAC) was removed it caused mozilla 
to hang. There is already a bug on this assigned to Don Cone. So I'm going to 
mark this as a dup. If you want to try removing the XP_MAC and see what happens 
that would be great :).  Maybe, whatever was causing the hang back on 
(1999-09-13) has been fixed.
