37897 - Rapidly clicking mouse on preferences renders OK button useless

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 43223

(SeaMonkey :: Preferences, defect, P3)

Description

[shrirang khanzode]

I see this on today's linux commercial build (2000050208).

Install and launch the browser
Open Edit->Preferences
Now, starting from top preference,say 'Appearance', click the mouse somewhat 
rapidly (once per second) and go down clicking on all preferences till you reach 
the bottom.
After doing this, clicking on the OK button to close the window does not work.
I see the following message in the console

" Javascript Error: chrome://communicator/content/pref/pref-fonts.js line 173: 
dataObject has no properties "

Perhaps not relevant but see bug 37598 and bug 37708 regarding nightlies:
similar incidents when clicking around in prefs, but other error- and line #'s

This looks like it is a pretty old bug that never got dupped.
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43223
is the dup of this bug and was first noticed 5/02/00

I'm not really sure if this ever worked actually.
What I can see is happening is that saveFontPrefs()
gets set when you open the fonts pane.  
Then 
parent.hPrefWindow.wsm.dataManager.pageData["chrome://pref/content/pref-fonts.xu
l"] = GetFields();

should get set.
Then you switch to another pane and 
hit ok and saveFontPrefs() gets called but 
parent.hPrefWindow.wsm.dataManager.pageData["chrome://pref/content/pref-fonts.xu
l"] looks the object.
Thus we get this error.
