85337 - In Preferences OK button functions as Apply, must press Cancel to exit

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 80946

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Jo Rhett]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:0.9.1) Gecko/20010607
BuildID:    2001060703

After opening the Edit->Preferences dialog box, the OK button will accept and
close the window ... until the first time you change something in
Advanced->System or a few other places (haven't found them all). After you
change anything, clicking [OK] causes it to flash - and to apply the change, but
one must then hit Cancel to exit.  This is counter-intuitive.  I think that
"Apply" and "Close" might make more sense, or the typical "Apply", "OK",
"Cancel" trio.

Also, Preferences->Themes doesn't seem to retain the previous setting. If you go
into themes and hit OK without looking, your browser icons will get reset to
Netscape Classic. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Pull down on Edit
2. Select Preferences
3. Go to Advanced, select "System"
4. Check or uncheck a protocol to associate Mozilla with
5. Hit [OK]
6. Hit [OK] again
...etc


Actual Results:  Had to hit [Cancel] to quit.

Expected Results:  [OK] should apply and exit.

It doesn't happen in all of the Preferences sections, but after visiting one of
the nasty sections all sections are infected.

For example, go into preferences and change your home page.
Hit [OK] == works fine.

Go into preferences, enter Advanced->System and change a protocol.
Hit [OK] == doesn't leave.
Go change your home page, Hit [OK] == still doesn't leave.

Marking dupe of bug 80946 (the Advenced->systems bug).
The Themes bug is a dupe of bug 84043.
