32476 - Customize sidebar display problems

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect, P3)

Description

[Chris Kuklewicz]

The customize sidebar has another display problem for me,
in addition to bug #27888 (tree drawing)

Opening a tree folder updates the display, but clicking to select
an item in the tree panel does not cause any visible change (no update)
BUT if you drag another window in front of the dialog, then bring the dialog
back on top, the display updates and you can see that:
1) the item clicked is highlighted, as originally expected
2) the add/preview buttons are drawn as enabled.

So this is a display update issue of some kind.

Sorry to nitpick, but you can write out the exact steps to reproduce the bug
you're seeing? I can't tell what the problem is. Thanks :-)

Also please put what build you are using.

I have been trying to reproduce it.

It only occurs after installing mozilla (M14 and M14w/PSM) and then

a user runs it for the first time (root or normal user) and a profile

is created before mozilla starts (The new profile window comes up first

and you change hte name from mozProfile to something more specific).

After the profile is created, a crowser window appears, but this browser has

several display bugs:

 (Redhat 6.1 for i386 using KDE 1.1.2 window maanger)

1) The window frame can be resized, but not the content

2) Pressing "cutomize..." on the sidebar brings up the dialog with the

display bugs described in this bug originally.



After exiting mozilla, further session with mozilla by that user did not

have these two bugs.

I don't see this problem using a current release if I:

1. Create a new profile
2. Launch that profile
3. Click on customize in the sidebar
4. Click on a folder such as From Netscape
5. Click on an item suck as Weath

Everything works normally, Add and Preview are highlighted. Am I doing something
different?

Okay...now it will not reproduce for me, either.
Well...this will teach me not to submit bugs late at night.
Even with a fresh install of the tarball, I can't get it to
do that again.

:-)   I'm sure you saw it, but if we can't reproduce it, then I have to mark it 
worksforme. Please re-open this bug if you see it again, thanks!
