368436 - switching profiles will not save to remote profile storage server first

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core Graveyard :: Profile: Roaming, defect)

Description

[J. Reynolds]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2pre) Gecko/20070127 SeaMonkey/1.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2pre) Gecko/20070127 SeaMonkey/1.1

Switching profiles within SeaMonkey does not save to remote profile storage server before changing to non-roaming profile.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open SeaMonkey afresh.
2. Navigate to another website, change a bookmark, or something that would change the info shared with the profile roaming settings.
3. When using the profile where remote profile storage is enabled (the File Copy server method is what I use), then select Tools menu -> Switch Profile... to pull up the Profile Manager
4. Use that to switch to another profile and switch back the same way to the original profile.
Actual Results:  
It will either popup the Roaming file conflicts dialog box while loading the original profile after the profile switch or (one time so far) the changes in step 2 are not retained.

Expected Results:  
It would save to remote profile storage server first before switching profiles and so the Roaming file conflicts dialog box wouldn't pop up when switching back.

I also confirmed the same results with: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.8) Gecko/20061220 SeaMonkey/1.0.6. Also, the [Don't Ask On Startup] in Profile Manager was always selected.

This bug is filed in a bugzilla component related to pre-Firefox code which no longer exists. I believe it is no longer relevant and I am therefore closing it INCOMPLETE.

If you believe that this bug is still valid and needs to be fixed, please reopen it and move it to the Toolkit:Startup and Profile System product/component.
