88009 - Extra Help menu creates JS error, new 2-pane window

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 87487

(SeaMonkey :: Help Documentation, defect)

Description

[Dwayne]

Build 2001-06-26-11, Win98

Steps to reproduce:
1. Help > "" (empty name above release notes)

Wow, this one is quite weird.  Under the help menu, the first item is blank. 
Selecting this generates a JS error as follows:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIWebNavigation.loadURI]"  nsresult: "0x80004005
(NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://help/content/help.js ::
loadURI :: line 178"  data: no]

It also pops open a 2-pane window, with no menubar, back/forward buttons, a
HIDDEN PRINT button at the top right corner.  The left pane has two tabs, the
dividor has a drag/hide bar, and the right pane is empty.

Interesting!

The menu option you are referring to is "Help Contents"
everything showed up fine for me.

This is a problem in non-installer builds only, I believe... and a fix is on the
way.
