294061 - Popup windows in Thunderbird have strange titles

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Stefan Persson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.4) Gecko/20041206 Thunderbird/1.0

If a popup window appears in Thunderbird (e.g. because it is requested by a HTML
mail or an RSS feed), the title of the window becomes "Gecko".  When the
window's <title> tag has been read, it changes into the contents of the title tag.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
The http://scripts.ign.com/rss/ign.Xbox.2.0.xml RSS feed has popup windows in
some of its entries.  Subscribe to the feed & make sure that you display the
referred pages instead of the RSS summaries.  JavaScript might have to be turned on.
Actual Results:  
Popups appear.  Title = "Gecko", and later "Advertisement" because of the
<title>Advertisement</title>.

Expected Results:  
One of the following:

* Open the popup in the default web browser (e.g. Firefox or Mozilla Suite).
- or -
* Change the title to "Mozilla Thunderbird" in the first case and "Advertisement
- Mozilla Thunderbird" in the second case.

Popups should also be blockable.

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.
