Spinning this off of bug 432427.

Summary: In "Clear Private Data" dialog, "Download History" checkbox is ghosted/disabled, when completed downloads exist

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download something
2. Tools | Clear Private Data
3. Deselect "Browsing History" (See that "Download History" is enabled".)
4. Select "Browsing History"

Actual Results:

"Download History" is ghosted

Expected Results:

As long as downloads exist, "Download History" should be enabled, whether its parent is checked or not

Attachment: download history box unchecked... shouldn't happen (or we need to rethink the UI)

I still think I should be able to delete the download history and not browsing history (and vice versa).  But the current UI is confusing and limiting in the choices I have.

This particular bug makes it appear as if my download histroy will not be deleted (box is unchecked)... but I think the browsing history parent that is checked will end up deleting it anyway.

If someone can test this, that'll be great!  I don't have a test instance and don't want to delete my history right now.

Here are my steps with Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9pre) Gecko/2008050604 Minefield/3.0pre:

1. Tools->Clear Private Data
2. Uncheck Browsing History and Download History checkboxes (if they are checked)
3. Click Browsing History checkbox


Expected:  Both Browsing and Download History checkboxes should be selected (since the parent is expected to override and also delete the child setting)

Actual:  Download History checkox remains unchecked and grayed out, while Browsing History is selected (which tells me that my Download History will not be deleted... but it most likely will be removed based on expected functionality)

Anyone else able to reproduce this?

Gavin told me this was fixed recently... and I was using an old build (a day old build... doh!)

Dup of bug 432427
