42539 - inital prefs panel not fully displayed

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 42289

(SeaMonkey :: Preferences, defect, P3)

Description

[Chris Johnson]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; N; PPC; en-US; m16) Gecko/20000614
BuildID:    2000061408

When I open the Preferences dialog, the panel initally displayed ('Navigator' or
'Mail and Newsgroups' depending on where its opened from) is only partially
displayed.  The category menu is fine, but in the actual panel, only a small
rectangle (bounded on the top and left by the panel border, on the right by the
end of the title (eg. "Navigator"), and on the bottom by the bottom of the "Home
Page" section) displays correctly; the rest of the panel is white. (The text
field for one's home page URL is correctly displayed even if it extends beyond
the rectangle.)

If another category is selected, that panel displays correctly.  Moreover if the
inital category is then reselected, it also is fully displayed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Select Edit->Preferences while in Navigator or Mail modes.

simon, sorry i missed your comment in bug 42552 when i made it a dup of this
one...! in any case, you think this is really a dup of 42289? when using today's
Mac m17 bits [commercial, 2000.06.14.08], i only saw this problem in the
Preferences... not in new browser windows or context menus. odd. but if it is
the same thing, feel free to dup. thx!

Does this still happen? I think it should be a dup of the 'blank popups and 
windows' bug that was fixed a while back.

I've seen this in build 2000062408. With blank windows, the entire window fails to draw 
contents. In this case, only a part of the window is broken.

i only see this the first time i open Prefs during a session --using mozilla
2000.06.27.08.

add relnote2 keyword since we should acknowledge this very obvious bug if we 
aren't going to fix it for nsbeta2

Is this bug assigned to the right person/group?  Is it really specific to the 
preference window or do other windows/dialogs have similar problems?  My guess is 
that this is really a dup of another bug.

With blank windows, the entire window fails to draw contents for good. In this case, only a 
part of the window is broken temporarily. This bug is different from bug 42289. 
Reopening.

I really do think that it's the same bug. Either a part or all of the window is 
mis-drawn on first display, and that can be fixed by covering then exposing the 
window, in both cases.
