Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[Zvi Devir]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050712 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050712 Firefox/1.0+

When trying to open the Options (or the Sanitize) window, broswer is
out-focused, but no window is opened. Pressing ESC brings browser back to focus.
This problem doesn't exist when working in safe mode.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Deer Park (regular mode)
2. Choose Tools/Options


Actual Results:  
No Options window.

Expected Results:  
Open Options window.

All extensions where disabled so they are not the source of the problem. 
I guess it something with my configuration, since I worked with Deer park on
other Win2K machines...

Do you see this with a clean profile?

WFM. Maybe a not compatible theme?

DeerPark worked fine with a clean profile.
I narrowed down the problem to the Pinball theme that was in my old profile. It
seems this theme is not fully compatible with DeerPark.
(Thanks Adam and Ria.)

In order to avoid such problems in the future, I would suggest that after
installing DeerPark, the default theme will be used.
Should I open a new RFE?

No, the problem here is that the pinball theme claimed to be compatible with
deer park when it clearly wasnt. This is a bug with the theme not firefox.

Maybe it's a bug in the theme, but a lot of themes share this bug, and this bug
will cause unpredictable results when upgrading FireFox to DeerPark.
Therefore, you may want to consider that the upgrading/installtion process shall
set DeerPark original theme as the defualt one, regardless of the (possibly
broken) themes used in the previous version.
