Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 821749

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Landis Reed]

Attachment: kde-My-Computer-info.04.12.12-01.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:19.0) Gecko/20121204 Firefox/19.0
Build ID: 20121204042015

Steps to reproduce:

start Aurora nightly from symlink with "/home/landis/bin/mozilla/Aurora/firefox %u -P" .
As I always have.


Actual results:

PM dialog appears with my 4 profiles, but...
I can Not click on a profile (choose other than the highlighted 'last') or choose 'Start Aurora' using my mouse, gluidpad or trackpoint.
I can use my arrow keys to navigate through profiles listed and Enter to start.
This has been since either late 17 or early 18.x
I can move the dialog box and the 'buttons' seem to take focus when i hover on them, but do not activate.


Expected results:

I should be able to click with mouse on a listed profile and click on 'Start Aurora' to launch

Could you try to find the regression range with our automated tool ?

e.g. mozregression --good=2012-05-01 --args="-p"

I run All openSuSE and SuSE OS pc's with KDE. These systems use 'YaST2 Package Manager' from KDE or the command line zypper utility.
I have an Ubuntu system, but it's basic for my familiarity only. I do Not use regularly.

Do you have a repository where I can call (install) from as an RPM or DRPM ?
I would be glad to help.

openSuSE 12.2 beta 2 - KDE 4.8.5 rel 2 install - (04.12.12)

YaST2 Package Manager - 'search' python-pip - select - install.

zypper from command line (terminal) - zypper install python-pip.

From command line, type pip install mozregression 
Done.

i've downloaded, installed and run mozregression.
problem, it downloads, installs and runs nightly builds, but by passes Profile Manager, which is the issue I'm having.. 

Is there a switch, known to you, that forces PM to run and be use?

>mozregression --good=2012-05-01 --args="-p"

the --args="-p" should call the profilemanager

thanks, but it does not. i've tried --args=-P, args="-P", args="ProfileManager" etc... some are called bad options by mozregression and some are not and do nothing and some are passed to the url (location bar)... 

I've found that a 'double click' will change profile selection and cancel or run Aurora.
I thought the double click worked in 18, but thought i may have been just lucky.

I've changed transparency (KDE desktop), but does not help.

There is Nothing on my openSuSE Linux / KDE system that requires 'double click' and PM did not until 18.x sometime.

Again, the 'buttons' and profile names highlight, but do not activate without a very quick 'double click'...

If someone can tell me how to launch ProfileManager with mozregression, I will try again. or
if i have time i will download and install older versions myself, without mozregression
