273728 - thunderbird application menus missing on new install

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

During [Bug 273718], no Apple menu appears, the application menu appears with
only one entry "About thunderbird".  No Preferences.  No Quit.  

"About thunderbird" produced an empty narrow vertical rectangle.  MacOSX
force-quit is required. 

On subsequent launches (until I trash the thunderbird folders), still no Apple
menu, but has both About and Preferences.  Still no Quit. 

About still doesn't work.  Preferences causes the menu at the top to highlight,
but no preference panels appear. 

During [Bug 273723], the Apple menu appears, the application menu appears with
no About and no Preferences, but does have Quit.  This always occurs during the
"Import Settings ..." and  "New Account Setup" windows.  The problem goes away
once the "cancel" has worked.  

Subsequent launches work.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.trash previous versions
2.launch (first time)
3."Import Settings ..."
4.observe menus
5.select don't import button
6."New Account Setup"
7.observe menus



Expected Results:  
The menus need to be initialized much sooner, so they always appear!

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

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
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
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
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

Reporter, does the issue still occur with the latest supported 2.0.0.x / Shredder trunk nightlies?

(1.5.0.x is now end-of-life and the latest supported Thunderbird version 2 is 2.0.0.16)
