456961 - change |const kNonStringDataLength = 4;| into a var

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 453220

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[lenochod]

Past Mail and Newsgroup load on SeaMonkey 2.0a1pre is show in Error Console:

Error: redeclaration of const kNonStringDataLength
Source File: chrome://global/content/nsDragAndDrop.js
Line: 4

Description from IRC of Ratty:
On trunk nsTransferable.js is mapped to nsDragAndDrop.js. Older code loads both to use drag and drop but Gecko 1.9 moved all the code to nsDragAndDrop.js. If older code tries to load both (actually now the same file) you could get the CONST redeclaration error.
anyway your error message is due to changeset 18445:ab3c77a02ed0 in mozilla-central

gavin:

This occurs in SeaMonkey 2.0a because it comes with two extensions, chatzilla and venkman, both of which (for backward compatibility reasons) load nsTransferable.js as well as nsDragAndDrop.js.

It was suggested in #seamonkey that since kNonStringDataLength is only referenced once, you could move the constant into the function that references this.
