Works fine over here. Did you really use tb 2.0? Please upgrade to version 9! Does that help?

Sorry, I should have explained. I have a fix for bug 330868, however due to some confusion over which actual bug that description applied to, I was asked to clone that bug so that I could submit my fix against it.

So this is not a bug in search of a fix... it's a fix in search of a bug!

I don't see any connection between this bug report and 330868, so it's possible that I didn't clone it correctly (I wasn't sure what to expect).

Also, I should have said that I selected version 2.0 because I tested some old versions, and I established that this bug was present at least as far back as version 2.0. I *think* it's been present from the time of the switch over from Netscape Messenger to Mozilla.

For a complete description of what I did, please see bug 330868. There's a demonstration of the bug and the fix in a youtube video if you've got eight minutes to spare...

Andy and I both cloned the root bug at around the same time. Please move over to the other clone.
