50951 - Unable to select custom directory for profile storage

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Startup & Profiles, defect, P2)

Description

[Grace Bush]

build 2000083106M18 on linux only
in profile manager, choose create new profile, choose 'choose folder'

actual results: directory picker comes up but without scroll bars for moving 
through directories. up and down arrows do allow you to select - but pressing ok 
does nothing-must press cancel to get out of directory picker- resulting in not 
being able to select custom folder.

Nav triage team: [nsbeta3-]; probably a duplicate of 50846.

I don't think this is dupe of bug 50846 (missing scroll bar in Profile Manager)
In this bug, OK button does not allow you to select directory for profile 
storage - note bug 27573, beta users seem to like being able to choose custom 
directory for profile storage

nav triage team:
nsbeta3+ either of the following - change summary when you decide which to do:

1) fix the bug so you can select custom directory
2) comment out the button so the feature does not appear - this is not an
important feature

Just close this bug fast ...

I believe this is related to a tree scrollbars problem that has since been 
fixed. I cannot reproduce this in this morning's (2000-09-08-08) commercial 
linux bits.

build 2000091106 
able to select custom profile after some fiddling- maybe when scroll bars come 
back, it will be easier for the user
