266374 - The option "force links that open in new window to open in" is not remembered after switching tabs

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 264638

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[Ng Ming Hong]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041026 Firefox/1.0RC1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041026 Firefox/1.0RC1

Firefox 1.0RC comes with the new option "force links that open in new window to
open in" under Tools > Options > Advanced. However, I found that if switch to
other tab after changing this option, your change of this option will be lost.

I found that only this option is not working.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to Tools > Options
2. Select Advanced
3. Check/uncheck "force links that open in new window to open in"
4. Select any other tab (e.g. General)
5. Select Advanced
Actual Results:  
"force links that open in new window to open in" is unchecked/checked. (i.e.
like that I haven't changed anything)

Expected Results:  
"force links that open in new window to open in" should remain checked/unchecked
as what I set before leaving the Advanced tab.

I'll test again with the latest 1.0RC. I'm using the nightly build of 26 October
2004.

sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs,
filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change
