725217 - missing features and misfunctions

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[hm]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; FreeBSD i386; rv:10.0) Gecko/20120201 Firefox/10.0 SeaMonkey/2.7
Build ID: 20120201115827

Steps to reproduce:

I 'm using Seamonkey quite a time now
it is v2.7 ( Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; FreeBSD i386; rv:10.0) Gecko/20120201 Firefox/10.0 SeaMonkey/2.7)
on Freebsd 9-stable with kde4


Actual results:

Several standard features are missing or not working, such as
- missing home icon (SM Home button plugin does nothing)
- no back/forward icons when browsing addons
- clicking any link in email msg do not open system default browser or it's own, with the plugin it can be tweaked to launch link in seamonkey browser
- autocomplete url bar function is messed up, letś say there is already www.bla.com and you add /administrator it does not show www.bla.com/adminsitrator as option but any possibility of administrator in wild order
- seamonkey browser fails on certain https links, as homebanking, Firefox is ok
- email component never jumps to any message, even if first or last msg is highlighted and you hit delete it tries to delete folder, it ever should select first msg or last selected msg in folder
- there could be for convenience a close_tab icon on any tab



Expected results:

the email component with enigmail works very well and fast but as urgent suggestion, the message-select issue is annoying and should be fixed, as well as the launch-link issue

the browser component without home-button is wired but not essential, but missing back/forward buttons is bad
misfunction for https sites is bad thing

another suggestion is, in kde4 menu it appears as one item, seamonkey browser, suite or something would be more adequate, even if I can configure which component opens first I would prefere to have one button for each component in the menu

upgrading seamonkey, at least as freebsd port, do not upgrade the enigmail integration and it is kinda hard of figuring out, seems it's necessary upgrading seamonkey, then enigmail, then seamonkey again, any other sequence it accuses missing gnupg 

anyway thank you for the great work, I like this light and fast package very much

Does this happen in SeaMonkey safe-mode? Go Help->Restart with Addons Disabled.

For problems 1-2 and 5 please provide screenshots and for last problem there was add-on somewhere...

Ohh I am sorry, I thought you guys here are using Seamonkey, now I see where the problem is, you need pictures ... look on your screen man and find your self the home button . 1-2-3 found it? OKayyy, that's it, it is not there :)

regarding issue 5 go to http://www.itau.com.br and put on top 4528 in the first box, second 09300 and third 0 and click ok 

there is no such issue depending on plugins, there are a few issues apparently addressed by plugins but it is not working

in usability terms speaking, the open-new-tab button on left of the open tabs is bad place, it should be better on the right as in Firefox

Of course we don't use SeaMonkey, why we should do this? :D

Bad site, things should be fixed on their side, but if you want - about:config - create new string general.useragent.override and set something like
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:9.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/9.0.1

Well, I use SeaMonkey (see UA below), and I see a Home button and Back / Forward buttons, even in the add-ons manager. Neither do I see your other problems.

Closing WORKSFORME for now. Feel free to REOPEN after adding the requested-for snapshots, so I can see what the problem looks like on your machine. On my machine I don't see any such problem.

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:13.0a1) Gecko/20120208 Firefox/13.0a1 SeaMonkey/2.10a1 ID:20120208003009

I am sorry but your decision CLOSED is as qualified as your request.

So please Mr.Allmighty-without-problems, please explain to us HOW you will see a problem when nothing to see. What the heck a snapshot will be worth, if it is a picture without the button in question? What will be YOUR wise conclusion on such a picture? Make some sense here man.

And sorry again, your machine is not relevant, still less, since you apparently have no problem. That is simple first grade logic. 

Also, only a suggestion, if closing, address all issues and not only one or two ... may be that is the reason for sloppy work too? may be you need a supervisor?



Comment for Phoenix
FYI - your suggestion is not solving the problem. After incuding the parm, confirming ok on that site, a different page appears accusing another browser problem. What should appear is the password input page. If you have you may try with Firefox to see what should be. Thank's

Mister I-have-problems-and-won't-show-them-to-you, a snapshot would at least show that the buttons are missing. Shall I have to take a snapshot of _my_ SeaMonkey to show you that not everyone sees the problem you do?

And before you escalate in haughtiness, read attentively "How to Ask Questions the Smart Way" http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
