50685 - Account Settings window is empty

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Account Configuration, defect, P1)

Description

[Suresh]

Edit | Account Settings window is empty. All I see is 5 buttons (New Account,
Delete, Set as default, Ok, cancel). The left and right panel are empty.

Build and platform:
Mozilla debug build from morning. Will check release builds in a while.

Note: I used the default skin, which is New modern.

I'm seeing this on all platforms. Tested on today's commercial release build on 
Linux and Mac. Upgrading Severity and nominating for nsbeta3. Most (or All) the 
users may use the Account Settings window to do something or the other.

Oops, Thanks Rkaa!!. 
I used the seamonkey browser and didn't get any feedback after I submitted the 
bug.

Marking this a blocker, dogfood.  Can't change account settings until this is
fixed, bad for testing.

Comment 6

Note: resizing dialog will display the panel list, but the contents of any panel
selected never display even after further resizing.

Comment 7

[Alec Flett]

this is probably a dupe of the folder switching bug... try again in today's 
respin

Comment 8

[David :Bienvenu]

It's not a dup, I swear.

Comment 9

[Suresh]

and bienvenu is almost right :)

Now only the LHS Panel comes up. The RHS panel is still empty. 
Tested on respin Linux and Mac builds.

[Alec Flett]

yeah, you're right.
As usual this dialog has not changed.. *sigh*

looking into it..

Marking [dogfood+].  Blocking QA work in this area.

this is very close to a smoketest blocker.  I won't test POP without leaving the
messages on the server and the only workarounds I could come up with were to set
up a POP account in 4.x and migrate it or download an old build and create a
profile with that.

I'm workin' on it, expect a fix soon

Comment 16

[Alec Flett]

augh, found the problem - looks like frame.location broke
attaching a workaround

Comment 17

[Alec Flett]

Attachment: simple fix - switch to setAttribute("src",...)

Comment 18

[Alec Flett]

adding putterman/sspitzer to the CC for a review

you can ignore that nsILocalFile stuff - that is for bug 42102, and the code 
will not be called until I modify some other XUL

by the way - if anyone feels like checking this in on friday, please do! The 
tree is closed right now but it will be the middle of the night my time when it 
does open, or if anyone wants to slip this in with the smoktest blocker fixes 
for friday, that would do as well. 

I only mention this because this is a dogfood bug that I think lots of people 
will be happy to see in a build!

[scottputterman]

It looks good to me.  I guess accessing frames by name broke? I can't check it 
in though, but maybe Seth can.

Comment 21

[Alec Flett]

woah, that was fast :)
no, it was the .location that broke - so you have to go through the src 
attribute of the <frame> tag instead of the frame itself

Comment 22

[lchiang]

I'll cc: granrose and leaf - maybe they can check in if we have smoketest 
blockers. This bug really makes testing hard if we can't change account settings 
:-)

Comment 23

[Jon Granrose]

if it's tested and reviewed, a=granrose if someone has the fix in their tree and
can check it in.

Comment 24

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

I'll check this bad boy in.

Comment 25

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

based on a=granrose, I've checked alecf's fix in.

marking fixed for alecf.  (I tested it and it fixes the problem)

Comment 27

[Jon Granrose]

I've updated the build systems and opened the tree since this isn't a smoketest
blocker.  Respins should be done in the next hour or two.
