252844 - 1.8a2 - Composer main pane is blank on Solaris

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: Composer, defect)

Description

[Iain MacDonnell]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.8a2) Gecko/20040723
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.8a2) Gecko/20040723

Somewhere between 1.8a1 and 1.8a2, the composer broke on Solaris (my own builds
with Sun Studio). The editor window comes up, and has toolbars, status bar, tabs
at the bottom, but the main pane (where the actual text editor should be) is just
blank white, for all four tabs. It works with 1.8a1 but not 1.8a2 or current CVS
trunk, all from the same build environment.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Control-Shift-N

OR

1. Browse to an HTML page
2. Control-E

Curiously, composer appears to work ok if I build with debug on and optimisation
off (probably affected more by the latter). I'm building with Sun Studio 9 with
--enable-optimize="-fast -xtarget=ultra2"

Roland .. are you seeing this problem?

(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.
