80678 - javascript error in addressingWidgetOverlay.xul

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Address Book & Contacts, defect)

Description

[Henrik Gemal]

when rightclicking on the "To" dropdown when composing:

JavaScript error:
 line 0: awNotAnEmptyArea is not defined

the only place the function awNotAnEmptyArea is defined is:
/mailnews/addrbook/resources/content/abMailListDialog.js, line 311

build 20010513

This may be hewitt's addition of 
   <image onclick="awNotAnEmptyArea(event)" class="person-icon"/>  
in addressingWidgetOverlay.xul, rev 1.46

I don't see this function being pulled into that overlay from 
abMailListDialog.js

[Small gripe: I've been testing for JS fastload and XBL brutal sharing 
breakage, where I have to be sensitive to any JS errors that might indicate
some problem with these changes. It is a pain to keep finding these sort
of errors and then tracing them back to 3 month old, untargetted, 
unacknowledged bug reports, when the fix could have been done in almost 
no time. This is not the only such bug, so I'm not picking on anyone in 
particular, just venting].

Still getting this in build 2001014 everytime I click on the To dropdown when
composing...
"Error: awNotAnEmptyArea is not defined"

errors are always bad news....

The addressing widget is going away, so this is a wontfix.
