395712 - Can't "make new browser window" with AppleScript

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Camino Graveyard :: OS Integration, defect)

Description

Similar to bug 395711, you can't create new (browser) windows via AppleScript.

tell application "Camino"
     make new browser window 
end tell

fails with "Camino got an error: NSInternalScriptError", but what's worse, something like

tell application "Camino"
     make new browser window at end of browser windows
end tell

just fails silently.

I don't know if making browser windows is also part of the dreaded make/init: issue or not, but it's a pretty useful command that doesn't work :(

As with bug 395711, removing from the SoC project.  This is too big for the scope of the project.

Adding a dep on bug 395711, since bug 395711 comment 2 has some interesting thoughts on this pair of bugs.

This bug has been buried in the graveyard and has not been updated in over 5 years. It is probably safe to assume that it will never be fixed, so resolving as WONTFIX.
