46288 - Author name in Page Properties doesn't get it from Prefs

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect, P3)

Description

[Teruko Kobayashi]

When you put the Author name in Preferences dialog, the Author name from Page 
Properties dialog should pick it from Preferences dialog.  Author name in
Page Properties dialog will show up as blank even though you put the author name 
in Preferences dialog, so the page will put 2 author names in the header.

Steps of reproduce
1. Open Preferences dialog
2. Select Composer-New Page Settings in Preferences dialog, and type     
   "test-author1" in Author on the right, then close Preferences dialog
3. Open Composer and type something
4. Select menu Format|Page and Title Properties...
   The Author name is blank.
5. Type "test-author2" in the Author field and close Page Properties dialog
6. Select menu File|Save as to save it to the file

Look at the source of the file you saved in step #6.

 <meta name="Author" content="test-author1">
 <meta name="author" content = test-author2">

There are 2 meta name for Author in the page.

Tested 2000-07-24-08 Win32, Mac, and Linux build.

reassign to charley since he implemented the page / title properties dialog.

Charley--fyi: the capitalization of "author" comes from 4.x (I think); I didn't 
want to trounce that in older files.
