I am not able to reproduce this bug with today's build. Any thing changed?

Firstly, noting that this is a trunk bug as well as a branch one.

Can you point me to the forum where this is mentioned? According to the Bon Echo (Moz 1.8) builds that I have, the Downloads window wouldn't open *at all* until the 20060506 build, which makes me wonder if the bug was present days earlier but wasn't detectable.

If it's related to bug 337334, which occurs on both branch and trunk, it could have first regressed in the 20060503 build. At least in the trunk.

I haven't seen i reported in my trunk threads (but that's not to say it isn't)

OK, I really have to apologize. I could have sworn I could reproduce this in Minefield when I first looked at this bug earlier. But now I can't, at all. So maybe it IS branch-only. That would fit with its relationship to bug 337122 as well, which I haven't been able to reproduce on the trunk. Bug 337334, however, is definitely both branch and trunk, so maybe it's not so closely related afterall.

My comment about the downloads window not opening in Bon Echo builds before 20060506 still seems to be true though, at least for me. So I'm not sure how anyone can be sure the regression occurred at that point.

No recent reports, potentially (dead) branch-only, -> WFM
