255793 - Bookmark update auto-notify ignores end time.

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Steven Hunter]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040616
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040616

The update auto-notify feature will ignore the upper boundry of the time check
if the interval is larger than the given window. eg: Checking from Noon to 1PM
every 61 mins yeilds 2 checks (1 @ Noon, 1 @ 1:01PM). FYI, my reasoning for such
a setting is to have Mozilla only check the site once.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set an update notification for a 1 hour window, say Noon to 1PM.
2. Set the update interval to 61 mins.

Actual Results:  
Website is checked twice, once at Noon and once at 1:01PM.

Expected Results:  
The second check should not occur.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
