288768 - Cannot manually enter proxy port in preferences:general:connection settings (when instant apply is on)

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[Alex Cline]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050308 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050308 Firefox/1.0+

When trying to manually enter the port for a proxy in the
preferences:general:connection settings, it does not remember the informaiton,
and instead I have to use about:config (which most people do not understand, but
will work nonetheless).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.In the preferences:general dialog, go to connection settings
2.Choose "manual proxy configuration"
3.Enter a proxy's IP and the port
4.Say "OK" and close the preferences
Actual Results:  
Nothing. That is the problem. When I re-opened the dialog, the port was 0 again,
not 8118 as wished.

Expected Results:  
It should have kept the port as 8118 and then allowed me to use the proxy.

I did change my widgets with "Firefoxy", but that only changes the images in
there. I could get it to work by changing the options in about:config, but
normal users would probably appreciate using a preferences dialog.

This happens when instant apply is on, which means it isn't (probably) mac-specific.

hmm, this isn't 100% reproduceable...

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