369541 - trying to open Mozilla a 2nd time (via shortcut or even the SysTray icon) no longer opens a new window

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 367797

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Bradley Macomber]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2pre) Gecko/20070111 SeaMonkey/1.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2pre) Gecko/20070111 SeaMonkey/1.1

This never happened to me until I upgraded from SeaMonkey 1.0.4 to 1.1

I can still open a new window by focusing an existing window and then hitting Ctrl+N.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Mozilla and browse around a while.
2. Double-click on a shortcut icon (such as on desktop or quicklaunch) or the SysTray icon to open another Mozilla window.
3. Marvel as nothing happens.


Expected Results:  
A new, blank window used to open (albeit of the same instance).

I suspected the problem might have been one of the extensions I had running, so I deleted the Mozilla program directory and my profiles directory and then reinstalled from scratch only the app with no add-ons.  But no fix.

Reverting back to 1.0.7 has fixed the problem.

This problem sounds similar to bug# 361225, and exactly the same as # 367797.  (Sorry I couldn't find those the 1st time I searched.)

As mentioned in 367797, it didn't happen always, but more often than not.
