260862 - Focus on URL drop widget is off

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Marcia Knous [:marcia]]

Seen on today's trunk build, Mozilla 1.8a4
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8a4) Gecko/20040921

I have also confirmed that this bug exists on Windows XP and Linux.

STR:

1.   Click on the URL drop widget (after several browser sites have been visited)
2.   Observe that nothing happens (on the Mac the drop widget disappears - poof!)
3.   If you click on the dropdown and then move your cursor slightly to the
right, the URL dropdown list appears. On Windows and Mac you actually are on the
"Search" button when you do this.

nominating for blocking 1.8a4

could this be a regression (if so, perhaps related to bug 260821 or bug 260717)?

not sure if this is related, but I noticed something nearly similar with the
Tabs dropmenu in the Sidebar:

1. open the Sidebar.
2. open the Tabs dropmenu in the Sidebar and select Customize; the Sdiebar
customization dialog does appear, but so does this js error:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE) [nsIRDFService.GetResource]"  nsresult:
"0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE)"  location: "JS frame ::
chrome://communicator/content/sidebar/sidebarOverlay.js :: SidebarTogglePanel ::
line 1290"  data: no]

3. hit cancel to dismiss the customize dialog.
4. try to open the Tabs dropmenu again.

results: no dropmenu appears.

tested with 2004092107-trunk (seamonkey) bits on linux, while fiddling with the
smoketest case:

please let me know if a separate bug should be filed.

also see this with the column picker, which occurs throughout the suite (at the
top of the thread pane in the mailnews 3pane window, in the Search Messages
dialog, bookmarks manager, etc).

aaronl, do you think this and the above issues could've been caused by your fix
in bug 68841? if yes, could they have been fixed for your patch in bug 260657?

Doesn't sound related.
