67603 - Error Console tree should be multi-select (multiple lines of JS console)

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Toolkit Graveyard :: Error Console, defect)

Description

[Jesse Ruderman]

The JavaScript console should allow selecting multiple items, so the user can 
copy multiple items out at once.  (Note that copying isn't working even for 
single items yet -- see bug 53480.)  A "Select All" option should be added to 
the Edit menu with the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+A.

I think it will be useful to have just text, without any images, xul, whatever.

Thus it will load much faster with many items, and you'll be able to select
any part of text it your's favorit text editor.

difficult? or might this be a good first bug?

Patches will be in bug 489736 (current one already fixes this).

Hrm, didn't realize this before, is this a Seamonkey-only bug? If so, restore the component, and unassign...

Comment 12

[Philip Chee]

SeaMonkey 2.0x (1.9.1) switched to using the toolkit Error Console. The SeaMonkey component is for legacy bugs in SeaMonkey <= 1.1 and will probably be moved to the graveyard once 2.0 is released.

Adding dependency to bug 489736.

Pushing out old bugs that I won't have time to actually get to. Feel free to use/extend any patches attached...

Selecting multiple entries, selecting all entries and even copying all selected entries is now possible with the new console.

Comment 18

[Brian Grinstead [:bgrins]]

The Error Console has been removed in favor of the Browser Console (see Bug 1278368), and the component is going to be removed.  If this bug is also relevant in the Browser Console, please reopen and move this into Firefox -> Developer Tools: Console.

I am mass-reopening and re-componenting every single one of the Toolkit:Error Console bugs that appear to have been closed without anyone even *glancing* at whether they were relevant to the Browser Console.

If you want to close a whole bunch of old bugs -- FOR ANY REASON -- it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to check EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM and make sure they are no longer valid.  Do not push that work onto the bug reporters.

(It's okay to close bugs that haven't been touched in years when they don't have enough information for you to figure out whether the problem is still relevant to the current software - the reporter probably isn't coming back to clarify.  But that is the ONLY situation where it is okay.)

(I'm going to have to do this in two steps because of the way the "change several bugs at once" form works.  Apologies for the extra bugspam.)

This one is WFM with the new browser console.
