298618 - Undefined entity "openHelpCmd.label" in help extension

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+2]]

The red label at the bottom of the window can be seen under all OS with current
thunderbird builds.

Error: undefined entity
Source File: chrome://help/content/helpMenuOverlay.xul
Line: 17, Column: 5
Source Code: <menuitem label="&openHelpCmd.label;" 

This regression is caused by the checkin of bug 127704. The entity are moved to
/xpfe/communicator/resources/locale/en-US/%platform%/platformCommunicatorOverlay.dtd
to support a platform specific description.

Where it should be added for Thunderbird?

I don't see this with a TB nightly from June 20 (one month after the check-in of
the patch in bug 127704). Are you trying to build Thunderbird with the Suite's
Help extension?

WFM with a current (now - 3h) TB debug build with --enable-extensions=all and
--enable-calendar. But I'm on Mac OS X (like stefan_h, I suppose).

There is no difference with current cvs builds. I'm using the .mozconfig listed
below. Should this be a problem with ccache?

Hmm, I don't understand what that file is coming from. Are you sure that you're
using a clean tree? Normally, you'll find that file in the suites chrome dir
(chrome/help.jar) if you haven't disabled the help extension when building.

->WFM, feel free to reopen if you can reproduce with a clean tree

Never seen this again for the last month.
