295867 - My extension's options panes are gone when browser.preferences.animateFadeIn is true

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Toolkit :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[Jesse Ruderman]

Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.squarefree.com/extensions/owo/.
2. Install Options Window Options.
3. Restart Firefox.
4. Open Extension Manager.
5. Select Options Window Options and click the Options button.
6. Check "Animate".  (This sets browser.preferences.animateFadeIn to true.)
7. Re-open this Options window.

Result: The checkboxes are gone.

I see this error message when the options window loads:

Error: aPaneElement has no properties
Source File: chrome://global/content/bindings/preferences.xml
Line: 532

And when I try to switch panes, I see this error message:

Error: oldPane has no properties
Source File: chrome://global/content/bindings/preferences.xml
Line: 597

I don't know whether this is a bug in my extension, a bug in PrefWindowV, or a
bug somewhere else in Firefox.

WFM, might have been fixed by the fix for bug 295237.
