bug 80274 "Mozilla ignores alternative keyboard mapping. All keyboard mappings ignored and treated as QWERTY." something like that :)
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59321 I'm not sure how best to word this. The bug is fairly technical.

bug 80890 with workaround comment something like "a common solution to this problem is to configure your backup scripts to skip over any cache directories. if this is inconvenient, you could also edit all.js (in the mozilla distribution) and set the pref: pref("browser.cache.disk_cache_size", 5000); // set cache size to 5Mb"

bug 71685 Bookmarks in Sidebar are blank. This affects you if you have used the sidebar blank bookmarks workaround or your profile was created between early March and late May. If you have a pre ~11 March profile for which you never used the sidebar blank bookmarks workaround or a post ~23 May profile this probably doesn't affect you. If you have a profile which was created before about March 11 and you used the workaround between about March 11 and May 23 then you will have to use the workaround again. If you have a profile which was created between about March 11 and May 23 then you will have to use the workaround now. Workaround: 1. open browser 2. view sidebar 3. click "Tabs" button at top right of sidebar 4. select "Customize Sidebar" menuitem 5. select "Bookmarks" from "Tabs in My Sidebar" list 6. click the "Remove" button below the list of "Tabs in My sidebar" 7. click OK 8. click "Tabs" button at top right of sidebar 9. select "Customize Sidebar" menuitem 10 select "Bookmarks" from "Available Tabs" list 11 click the "Add" button below the list of "Available Tabs" list 12 click OK note: just unchecking the tab from the "Tabs>" menu and rechecking it will not fix the problem. (I know this is a lot for a release note, not sure if it can be made any shorter. Perhaps I can put all the relevant steps on a webpage and we can just have a single item like "If your Bookmarks Sidebar panel is blank please take a look at <insert link> for the workaround. Also, any grammar, structure or spelling errors should be fixed)
Bug 59548: Laurel's comments follow... Please include mention of this in the release notes -- ------- Additional Comments From laurel@netscape.com 2001-05-23 15:40 ------- This is bugging me... I assume the case I'm going to describe is part of this problem (or should it be/is it logged separately?): When you edit a draft authored by an account which is not the default account and it saves to local draft folder, the draft is saved in the local folders drafts with the right identity showing. When you open/edit the draft, the identity is reset to the default account's identity and then sent showing the default identity. I don't know if we should tip off the user to this in help or release notes?

OFFLINE BUGS SENT BY GARY CHAN (gchan): * Preferences| Offline - Startup Mode prefs will not work (front end problem) 82487 * Mail Problems * File|Offline|Offline settings doesn't currently work. bug 79267 * MAC bug: File|Work Offline should change to Work Online when offline bug 65569 * MAC bug: if you close all windows but the application is still running and you go to File|Offline nothing happens. bug 75660 * Offline icons in Search, History, and 'Subscribe to newsgroup window' do not work. bug 79801, 80970 * Saving a downloaded file (as text, html, eml, template) while in offline mode will not work. bug 81690 * Possible refreshing/display problems if you collapse/expand various mail/news accounts in Select Folders for Offline usage window. bug 83555 * Can't display image attachments once downloaded but can save them. bug 83709 * When composing a brand new mesage (Copies and Folders pref) bug 64417 * can't save a draft to a online imap folder, only to a local folder * can't save a template to an online imap folder, only to template folder on local folders * If you are downloading and synching, you can't stop it and expect it to restart and remember where you left off. bug 80110 * Preferences in the Download and Sync Now window aren't remembered each time you bring up that window. The current default is only "send unsent messages" is checked. If you uncheck that pref or select one of the other prefs, it will not be 'remembered' the next time you Download and Sync. * Bug 79555 Don't think "Compact folders when it will save over x kb " is implemented yet? Not sure on this one. * News problems * For Offline & Disk Space pref * These prefs aren't remembered * Do not download messags locally larger than x kb (related bugs 76388,79554. Need to file a new specific bug for this feature) * Compact folders when it will save over x kb Bug 82984, 82751 * compact folders in general(it's a global pref but stuck in an individual account basis bug * 79554) Remove message bodies only older than x days * No default value displayed for pref 'When it's time to clean up messages' bug 80194 * GUI initially may not be totally displayed and the user may have to resize the window to display the whole thing. bug 80134 * Can't download a brand new newsgroup unless you have previously opened the newsgroup and have gotten the headers first. bug 84061 * General Problems * Messages that are downloaded are displayed in italic mode 73808 (not really problem per se but should be released noted to inform the user why they are in italic) * For Linux, there is a known bug 82468 involving working offline and online. Once you go offline, then go online and try to do anything in the browser or messenger, you will hang due to a DNS problem. * Other bugs that you might want to release note? * Creating a new folder while offline won't work (not supposed to?) * send later when the local mail folder directory doesn't exist silently fails 83682 * I still think "send later" is little flakey. It works but I think there are some cases when it will not work but haven't narrowed it down yet.

bug 79179 - on linux, creating a profile other than the initial one will cause mozilla to hang. Exiting and restarting lets you choose the profile and will start with it as well. (this is a pretty severe bug)

all items on this page have been taken care of Mozilla 0.9 release notes were checked in based on v1.8 of /releases/full-release-notes.shtml. http://mozilla.org/releases/mozilla0.9.1/ working on fixing some problems found by people on irc.

we should add that 0.9.1 is the first version having XSLT support included by default :)

... and that bug 73936 will cause some considerable problems, which will force web developers to render HTML serverside, until it's fixed :-/ (hopefulle in 0.9.2)
Sorry for commenting so late, but in bug 82595, we had a crash (win) hang (mac/linux) when you clicked on a newsgroup. The reason for this crash has been fixed (it was a corrupt storage in the .msf file for the corresponding newsgroup). There are two workarounds: 1. Create a new profile. 2. Unsubscribe from the newsgroup, shutdown (which deletes the .msf) and then subscribe to that newsgroup again. This crash will not occur for new users, only for existing users until they've overwritten this .msf file.

Bug 83919: can't use arrow keys or edit commands in location bar if the location bar received focus when the browser window was created. Workaround: use Ctrl+L instead of Shift+Home to select the URL, or click in the content area and then refocus the location bar.

s/1686/i686/ Bugzilla Bug 76397 Profile migration uses the wrong bookmarks file Files Created or Used this is missing a bunch. Here's a quick description stolen from another bug (accuracy of descriptions is not guaranteed) <q src="Bug 76431" title="Don't mention this bug number, it's just where I happened to analyze the files in my profile"> Ok, so lemme quickly enumerate all files in my profile: bookmarks.html *this is not guaranteed to be the one that was actually used by netscape 4 see bug 76397 panels.rdf * I think this file relates to sidebar panels. localstore.rdf * most user clicks that aren't buttons result in changes to properties that we persist here. This includes things like window size, position, which toolbars are collapsed or visible. search.rdf * this contains the list of sherlock search sidebar engines (say that 0times slow) see sherlock references. mimeTypes.rdf * this controls helper application associations. On windows we fall back to the OS associations. on Linux we do not (see bug 52441). on MacOS we do not (see bug 68514 about internet config support --helpwanted). prefs.js history.dat * this stores history =) cookies.txt cert7.db certificates database key3.db security key database secmod.db ask PSM panacea.dat * this is some sort of mail file, it seems to list all known mail folders. not necessarily still present abook.mab * this is probably the addressbook history.mab * this appears to be a structure file, people probably shouldn't delete it ... these are directoris: US, contains: bookmarks.html panels.rdf localstore.rdf search.rdf mimeTypes.rdf -- all of which were already addressed, although i suspect this is for presets. chrome, contains: user-locales.rdf user-skins.rdf -- users shouldn't force changes to these often, probably a very good idea not to change them while mozilla is running -- actually that applies to all files in active profiles ... NewCache userContent.css allows users to affect web pages by entering css style code. see http:// blah and blah and perhaps some bug userChrome.css like userContent, but it allows the user to control the application Chrome, perhaps hiding text or changing colors or various stuff. an old mozilla.org document (some of which shouldn't be unix specific) can be found at http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html css referneces are best found by searching the web... a quick google search found: http://www.kramm.org/graymodern/userchrome.html http://chameleon.mozdev.com/source/browse/snippets/src/user-stylesheet/flash_in _xul/flashinxul/?sortby=date </q> Event Handling Linux and Windows are listed twice Setting Profiles Two linux entries, one mentions '(that is, type "mozilla.exe-installer" on the command line.)' Note: Your prefs.js file is located in the Users50 directory on Windows and Mac OS, and in the .mozilla directory on Linux. I think it's Profiles these days. Mozilla has been tested only with J2SE v1.3.0_01. Other J2SE releases, or previous JDK's from Sun, will not work with Mozilla. -- I've been using 1.3.0_02 for windows w/ mozilla and there's now a 1.3.1 for linux or so i've read, we should probably get more info. Running J2SE in 256-color mode may cause a flicking problem. this is not limited to j2se but applies to mozilla in general. Linux: Mozilla on Linux and Solaris includes J2SE v1.3.0_01. The Java support on Linux and Solaris is not complete (for instance, LiveConnect is not yet enabled), but will be functional in a later release. This duplicates the general Java warning. We still don't support live connect, right? General and Profile Manager OSs should be bold consistently. I should dig up the profile manager bugs, i'll do that later. POP and Local message body search does not work with non-Latin 1 key words. s/key words/keywords/ ? and is Latin 1 supposed to be hyphenated or something? Talkback: Some users have reported being unable to submit talkback data (windows only?) it might be related to slow dialup connections (<= ~26400). DrWatson crash reports and debug callstacks are also useful. -- No bug number.

The section on wheel mice is quite repeatative. There are two header for both Windows and Linux and they both say the same thing.
Comment 26•24 years ago

About JRE issues: the JRE 1.3.1 will work on both Linux and Win32 ports of Mozilla. For Solaris, it's more complex: if Mozilla was compiled on Solaris with EGCS (a.k.a. gcc), the Java Plug-In that comes with JRE 1.3.0_X and 1.3.1 will work; if Mozilla was compiled with Forte 6, the Java Plug-Ins with those JRE's will *not* work; the first Java Plug-In that *will* work is the one that comes with JRE 1.4, due later this year.

Small typo with the release notes... Under Known Problems -> General You must use a talkback enabled build to send crash data to mozilla.org for analisis. should read: You must use a talkback enabled build to send crash data to mozilla.org for analysis.

timeless: i dont see any resolutions in those bugs. what text do you propose to have added to the release notes? (re bug 85218 and bug 84354)
Comment 31•24 years ago
|
||
for bug 85218, if you choose to use the contributed redhat rpm's w/ suse you'll need to get http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=gdk-pixbuf but it's recommended that you instead get the contributed mozilla suse package for bug 84354 the contributed redhat rpm's require XIE which is not included w/ the default redhat xfree86 4.1.0 libs. Workarounds include building xfree 4.1.0 w/ XIE, perhaps getting just that lib, or getting a different mozilla package (I think that the mozilla.org builds do not require XIE).

The JAVA section should talk about JDK 1.3.1, which contain OJI for mozilla. Aditionally, some info related to JDK 1.4beta and Java Webstart (part of 1.4beta) would be useful.
