268540 - Help button does not work in "Domain Name Mismatch" dialog

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[u45550]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041026 Firefox/1.0RC1
Build Identifier: version 0.9 (20041103)

The help button in the "Domain Name Mismatch" dialog does not work. If the
button is clicked nothing happens.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Thunderbird an generate a "Domain Name Mismatch" error (look at bug
#228684 how to generate this error)
2. Click on Help button 
3. Click on View Certificate => Help

Actual Results:  
After 2. and 3. nothing happens

Expected Results:  
The help page should be loaded.

Differing from bug #228684 I am using POP3 but I think this is not important to
reproduce the bug.

Note that the fix for bug 256915 was checked in on 11-Nov; subsequent builds 
should not be displaying nonworking help buttons.

Ulrich Voigt, please confirm with a current build (I can't figure out how to get 
this error); if the help button is no longer shown, please mark this bug as a 
dupe of that one.

Help buttons still don't work with the german localized RC1 (Version 1.0RC1
(20041201)). As it is described in bug #256915 the javascript console shows an
"openHelp is not defined" error.
Comment 5 notes that the error was not fixed for the Message Security dialog,
which is relevant for this bug.

OK, confirming; I put a note in bug 256915 pointing to this one.

Still doesn't work with Version 1.0.6 (20050716)

WFM for 1.5RC1 (Version 1.5 (20051025)). The dialogs no longer have Help buttons.
