311712 - Quick Launch automatically restarts Mozilla

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 310409

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Daniel Kraft]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20051008 SeaMonkey/1.1a
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20051008 SeaMonkey/1.1a

When I enable the Quick Launch feature in the preferences and close the browser
window, a new one is automatically opened. Of course, that's not really what
Quick Launch is for... It worked for a long time, but since I used a version
about ten days old (and now this one), this happens.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable Quick Launch in Mozilla Preferences
2. Close Brower Window

Actual Results:  
A new window is opened.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should be closed.

Could you provide a more specific regression range?

Comment 2

[Daniel Kraft]

Well, what exactly do you want to know? Just when I have Quick Launch enabled
and then close the last browser window (I haven't yet tested with other
components of Seamonkey), it takes one to two seconds, and then a new, clear
window is opened (as if I had immediatelly started Mozilla again).

[Adam Guthrie]

An example regression window would be: "this regressed between 2005-10-01-07 and
2005-10-02-07" or something of that nature.

Comment 4

[Daniel Kraft]

Sorry, I can't give a more exact regression window as I've used one Mozilla
version for more than one month before this began.

I am also seeing this behaviour with 2005101205 on Windows XP SP2. The last
nightly I tried was from September 27th and don't believe this happened
(although I ran into other troubles and reverted to a September 9th build which
has been rock-solid for me, sorry I can't be more specific).

For me, it is bringing the Profile Manager up instead of a new Seamonkey window,
even though I have one profile selected with "do not ask at startup". It does
not ask me for a profile when I start Mozilla via icon (desktop/start menu/quick
launch), in case that helps.

It is happening for me also. Am using the following:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20051013
SeaMonkey/1.1a

I have tried down;laoding the latest build to no avail.

I'm seeing the same problem with build 2005101305 on Windows XP Professional
with SP2 applied. When the quickstarter is active, a new browser window pops up
each time I close everything.

I'm afraid I can't help with the regression because the latest suite I used was
a very old one 1.8b2: 2005031706

FWIW, it might be relevant that I have both SeaMonkey *and* the 'original'
Mozilla suite installed, in separate folders. Of course only the SeaMonkey is
active and running (I can't start the old Mozilla at all, since the profile
(default) is in use by SeaMonkey).

Yes this bug is happening on my system as well, I have disabled Quick Launch for
the time being. 

Comment 9

[Nigel Todd]

I have tried an earleir release : 2005100105. The problem is occurring at this
stage,  as reported by myself and by others.

[Giuseppe Bilotta]

An additional comment: even though I disabled Quick Start from the preferences ("Keep Mozilla in memory"), SeaMonkey keeps coming up. When I "Disable QuickStart" by right-clicking on the taskbar icon, I can get rid of it, but it's only for the current session. Does SeaMonkey use different registry keys from the old (1.7.x) Mozilla Suite?

Comment 11

[Nigel Todd]

Any progress yet on trackion gthis one down and resolving it? It is a real hassle that it does not remember that you have disabled Quick Launch!

Comment 12

[Justin Scott]

It might help for everyone having problems with this to put in a vote for it, just so that it gets someone's attention who is in a better position to put it into triage. (times like this I wish my coding was better! :) )

[Giuseppe Bilotta]

*** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. ***

Comment 14

[D Parker]

I un-installed 1.0a and tried Seamonkey 1.0b and it does't seem to have the same problem?  What is the difference between them.

Comment 15

[Justin Scott]

This is still happening for me with 2005111409. Additionally (and this has actually always been the case) Mozilla launches immediately after login. It's like the quick launch pref is being ignored and it doesn't realise it shouldn't open a full window. (and/or the code that handles Quick Launch got broken -- just glancing at all the conditions in the code that is at http://www.mozilla.org/xpapps/QuickLaunch/ )

Attachment: Quick Launch continually restarts Seamonkey

PC using XL service pack two.  Seamonkey build 1.5.0.2005121309.
Using Quick Launch makes Seamonkey reload whenever it is closed, sometimes opens more than once.
