Details

Steps (using build 2001053006, under Linux Redhat): 1. View, Apply Themes. 2. Select Classic theme, then "Apply". Screen "refreshes" to display the classic look. Notice you can't click on "OK" anymore. Cancel will get you out of the Themes windows. 4. Try changing back the theme through View. You can't. The view menu is disabled. You can always use Edit, Preferences to change the theme there, but the View menu only comes back after rebooting. REALLY annoying!
!!! Never mind, it now works fine! I really don't understand, I was able to reproduce it three times in a row, and now that I'm writing the bug, it works fine. I hate it when this happens... :-(
Well, it still occurs, but not always. Can't pinpoint this one. Anyone else sees this problem? GD

I can confirm this on PC/Linux. This is a little weird. The View Menu only disappears from new windows. Steps (2001053008, Debian GNU/Linux): 1. Launch a new empty window. 2. Switch themes via the View Menu (I used classic and modern). 3. View menu no longer there. 4. Go back to original window. 5. View menu works.
Dupe of 81096?
Yup, same as 81096. We should keep the comments of Diego, though, they seem quite useful in narrowing down the problem... Gilles

There appear to be two related bugs floating around. Bug 78476 ([modern3] after theme change (only) URL bar and search button alignment wrong) and bug 83370 ( "Open Link in new window" stops working after theme switch) both disappear in all subsequently created new windows, similar to this one. I'm using build 2001060508 right now.
Verified dup.
