Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Toolkit :: Preferences, defect)

The lastSelected and currentPane properties of a prefwindow are not set
correctly if the prefwindow is a child. These are normally both updated in the
_selectPane method, unless the prefwindow type is "child" in which case they are
never updated.

This means that child prefwindows do not persist their selected pane, and
finding the current pane programmatically is a little more complex than would
otherwise be necessary.

I am unsure whether this bug is valid or not, none of the documentation I have
seen for the new prefwindow says whether child dialogs should have multiple
prefpanes. They certainly appear to work, apart from this bug and the fact that
they do not animate.

Child prefwindows should not have multiple panes, as per bug 301871
