In 'preferences' — Message Display, select 'in new window'. 3. If this involved changing the setting, quit SeaMonkey and restart. 4. In main Mail window, click on several messages in turn. Actual Results: Only the last-clicked message is displayed. There are no other open windows behind the last.

This bug is still present, both in SM 1.1.2 and in the trunk build.

Can you reproduce with SeaMonkey v1.1.9 ? Can you reproduce with SeaMonkey v2.0a1pre ?
No reply to comment #2 in 2⅔ years => INCOMPLETE. This bug may be REOPENED after supplying the requested information.
P.S. Of course, replace 1.1.9 by "the latest stable version" (currently 2.0.10) and 2.0a1pre by "the latest nightly" (currently 2.1b2pre).

Apologies! I somehow missed Comment #2. The bug is still present in SM 2.0.12pre, but as my computer is a Mac G4 (PPC) with OS 10.4.11, I cannot try SM 2.1... because this does not work on my system.

Hmm Can't reproduce on 2.0.12pre or 2.1b2pre on windows. Do you have some incompatible extension installed? Try starting SeaMonkey in safe mode (not sure how to do this in OSX - you may have to open a terminal window and do it from there).

I started my computer in safe mode (held down 'Shift'). The bug is still there: I set Prefs. to open e-mails in new windows, but if I open an e-mail from the Mail window and then open a second one, only the second one is then open and visible. NB: Computer G4 (PPC), OS X 10.4.11.

Please start *SeaMonkey* in safe mode not your *computer* thanks. See the following for instructions on how to do this. <http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode#Mac_OS_X>

Thank you, Philip, for the instructions. The behaviour is still exactly the same when in Safe Mode.

Hmm. I don't have a Mac. This might be a Mac specific issue. CC stefanh as he has a Mac.

This seems to work fine for me with 2.0.10 (snow leopard). I changed the pref so new messages opens in a new window and double-clicked a few messages in the main mail window. All messages opened in a new window.

iBook G3 OS X 10.4.11 SeaMonkey 2.0.11 Tried to launch in safe mode and got serious strangeness: /Users/rich ~$ /applications/seamonkey.app/contents/macos/seamonkey-bin -safe-mode CGContextBeginPath: invalid context CGContextAddArc: invalid context CGContextClosePath: invalid context CGContextSetRGBFillColor: invalid context CGContextDrawPath: invalid context CGContextFlush: invalid context CGContextBeginPath: invalid context CGContextAddArc: invalid context CGContextClosePath: invalid context CGContextSetRGBFillColor: invalid context CGContextDrawPath: invalid context CGContextFlush: invalid context www.bugzilla.ceamonkey.orgdddkdkkasd;glkjsd;flgj;sdlfkgj;^H^H^H OS X did not seem to think SeaMonkey was even running! The dock icon did not indicate it and cmd-TAB did not offer SM as a running app. Terminal.app held the menu bar and when I tried to type into the SM location bar, Terminal got the characters. Killed SM by hitting ctrl/C. Tried again adding an & to the command to try to background SM, but I got pretty much the same behavior. However, I was able to navigate to Mailnews and open multiple e-mails and they each opened in their own windows so I guess that's a strange WFM. Running non-safe mode also WFM, without the strangeness.

Re Comment #11: If I open a message and then single-click another in the main mail window, just the second one remains open. If I open a message and then double-click another in the main mail window, two copies of the second are open, but no longer the first. If I select several messages simultaneously in the main mail window and double-click one of them, I get two copies of that one, but no other. BUT if I open one message, then depress 'Command' and double-click on another, both are open, the first one in duplicate. Does this constitute the correct functioning? Does it say anywhere that one has to depress 'Command'?

[Just speculating wildly here] Stefan, are there any Mac system settings for mouse clicks like the mac click-to-hold stuff we were discussing in some other bug. Perhaps something was set to a non-default state? Michael: Do you have some mouse gesture extension or smooth scrolling extension installed in SeaMonkey?

No, nothing of the kind, Philip.

The prefs in question are mailnews.reuse_message_window, which should be false here, and mailnews.open_window_warning, which usually is 10. Michael, what does about:config say about those?

Karsten, 'reuse...' has 'user set — boolean — false', and 'open...' has 'default — integer — 10'. So both seem to be OK.
