373858 - Start Page does not display properly on Mac OS X

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Albert R.]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en; rv:1.8.1.3pre) Gecko/20070312 Camino/1.1b+
Build Identifier: version 2.0pre (20070313)

With today's Mac nightly, the start page does not fully draw for me.  Only a few sentences draw properly and then the rest is blank, though I can see the underlining of a few links.  

This did not occur with Tbird 1.5.0.10 or the same nightly on a linux machine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install 20070313 nightly tbird build
2. Launch (create a new profile if you want to assure yourself of this)
3. Look at start page
Actual Results:  
Start page does not fully render (see attached)

Expected Results:  
Start page should show all the text and links properly instead of the first sentence and half.

Mac OS X 10.4.8
Intel

Have you been using nightly 2.0 builds prior to 03/13 with the new start page where it was rendering correctly? 

I downloaded today's mac build on the branch for en-S and it renders fine for me.

I had installed 2.0b2 prior to this, and I recall it was working fine.
Just tried it again with a fresh 1.8 branch build and brand new profile and I'm still getting the mangled display.  Any ideas?

Albert do you still see problem?

Actually nope.  This changed a while ago but I forgot to update.  Moving to worksforme.
