47261 - mail window wont open with classic skin

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect, P3)

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.0-test1 i686; en-US; m18) Gecko/20000801
BuildID:    2000080113

With classic skin selected, the mail window won't open. Another side effect is
that mozilla won't close down properly.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start mozilla browser
2. Select classic skin and apply
3. Select mail from tasks menu or click on mail icon

Actual Results:  Mail window did not open. Browser will now not exit cleanly.


Expected Results:  Mail window should open, in the classic skin.


If you apply classic skin to browser and exit immediately all is fine -- the
exit problem is only once you try to open the mail window and it can't. If you
then try to start mail directly (mozilla -mail) it goes directly into the same
state as the exit state described above. If you start the browser, change the
skin back to modern, then mail will open fine (but not if you've already tried
to open mail with classic enabled that session).

If you open mail with modern skin, you can switch skins to classic fine.

I've noticed this in the last few days builds (but only tracked the mail
non-opening down to the classic skin today).

Just tried the latest M18 nightly (2000080605), and this appears to be fixed.

I'll mark this as FIXED and keep an eye on whether the problem reoccurs (hope
that's OK :-)).
