307715 - Update restart temporarily causes URLbar to be on the wrong toolbar

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Toolkit :: Application Update, defect)

Description

[James Ross]

I've only noticed this recently (few weeks) on the 1.5/1.8 branch, but it may
well also happen on trunk.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Customise toolbars, and move the URLbar onto the menu bar.
2. Wait for a software update.
3. Apply it, let it install and restart for you.
4. Observe the URLbar is now on the Navigation toolbar!
5. Close and restart the browser normally.
6. Observe the URLbar is now back where it was meant to be: the menu bar.
MIGHT BE RELEVANT: I have the Navigation toolbar hidden, and it is possible this
bug wont happen if it is visible. I have not tested this setup yet.

This is a totally odd bug, and I don't think it happens every time either - but
it certainly occurs most of the time here. I also don't know of anything else
that goes wrong, the menus, throbber, etc. are all just where they should be.
Only the URLbar is not.

I'm leaving the severity as normal, since this is not a major loss of
functionality, but it could be a major confusion (and could indicate that worse
stuff is happening).

As usual, I can't reproduce it on-demand, but given it happened with my update
from 20050908 to 20050909, it exists, just don't know what triggers it
(installing 20050908, hacking the update channel back to nightly, then updating
doesn't cause it here, yet the very same update did earlier).

WFM updating from 2005101105 to 20051011. James, are you still seeing this?

Unfortunately (for this bug) I've stopped using nightly updates and gone back to building Firefox myself. I'll resolve WFM for now, but it's irritating as it happened plenty of times when I used the updates.
