[Christian :Biesinger (don't email me, ping me on IRC)]

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/nightly/latest-trunk/ has trunk
builds

Comment 5

[Alex Pircher]

I wasn't able to verify the bug on the trunk build, because Mozilla
didn't started, however, tried 1.8. beta and there it is working
correctly.

Changing to invalid.

Comment 6

Same behaviour under WinXP with 1.7.12

Comment 7

[Andrew Schultz]

this bug will never be fixed in a 1.7.x release.  the 1.7 branch is only taking security fixes.
