34635 - No drop list in preferences->fonts

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Preferences, defect, P3)

Description

[Chunnuan Chen]

It worked in the download of 3-22-00 but not in the (4-5-00) nightly build. This
is kind of degradation of the package.

One defect per bug report, please!  Deleting 'and browser crashes on closing 
the preferences window' from summary, since I can't reproduce that anyway.  In 
any case, neither font, nor prefs, nor these lists are XPToolkit, changing 
component to XPApps (since one of the lists works), reassigning.

Comments from other bug report : 

   scroll doesn't work in comboboxes in Preferences->Appearance->Fonts. I am    
   unable to choose most of the fonts installed on the system.

  The first time one starts edit/preferences/fonts, the little arrows pointing
  downwards, that one usually see on dropdown boxes, are now "minuses" till you
  move the cursor over them. Then they "refresh" and display as arrows.

The "minuses" as initial dropdown box-arrows in prefs is "fixed" in bug 34801
("fixed", cause now they're initially displayed when you start - "frame
notification for gif frame" was moved. Trouble is they now *vanish* when you
click on them. Rest of the problem remains - no content lists in dropdown boxes,
only one "empty" line" falls down, as before. Adding comment in 34801

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

just wondering: could this be the same as bug 34525, where the font droplist
broken? (sounds like a dup!)

if this is different, could you please clarify the problem you're seeing now
(with a recent build, to see if it's still there)? (the summary is rather vague.
:-) thx!
