354620 - My Yahoo Date and time does not display; back button does not work in some cases

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Bob Capp]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060910 SeaMonkey/1.0.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060910 SeaMonkey/1.0.5

The back button problem is exactly the same as stated in bug 357619 except upgrading to 1.0.5 of SeaMonkey may not fix the problem.  I support two systems which have the problem and two which do not.  The systems which currently have the problem did not have it when SeaMonkey was first installed but developed the problem within a few hours.  XP Home and XP Pro are equally affected.

My Yahoo Date & Time:
This is not a problem in Mozilla 1.7.13 but is in SeaMonkey 1.0.4 & 1.0.5.  In the My Yahoo page the time and date (appears in the upper right corner directly above the third column) will not appear unless I put the Yahoo Search feature at  the top of the page.  SeaMonkey is also displaying Yahoo Search differently. In Mozilla 1.7.13 the category options are displayed in a line above the search box.  In SeaMonkey it displayed as a dropdown box.  

There is also an advertising link just below the date/time which does not appear (but is there using Mozilla 1.7.13) at all in SeaMonkey (search top or bottom).  This problem does not appear in I.E.

I followed all the steps described in the standard diagnostic but the problem has persisted.

I'm not sure if this is a SeaMonkey problem or a Yahoo problem but given that the two versions of Mozilla/SeaMonkey display the same page differently I would say it is a SeaMonkey problem.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up an account in My Yahoo.com
2. go to the My Yahoo page 
3. Move Yahoo search to the bottom of the page using "change layout"
4. Date and Time should not be visible
5. Move Yahoo search to the top of the page using "change layout"
6. Date and Time should now be visible
7. The ad link should not appear no matter wher Yahoo search is - bring the page up in I.E. to see it.

Actual Results:  
The date and time appeared and disappeared based on the location of Yahoo Search.  The ad link never appears

Expected Results:  
The date and time should always appear no matter where the Yahoo Search box is located.  The ad link should also appear - wanted or not it is there.  If an ad link can show up missing an important one could also be missing.

I an useing the classic theme but have tried modern with the same result

I have performed some further testing and the Back Button issue is now not repeatable.  Plears do not consider it - Something has changed.  The four computers with the issue are now functioning properly.

I believe the page layout has changed since, hence resolving invalid. Please feel free to reopen if you still encounter this issue in a recent version of SeaMonkey.
