94960 - Most of the prefspanels are horked

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 93558

(SeaMonkey :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[Håkan Waara]

For some reason, most of the prefpanels are horked - meaning they don't show up
at all. Some do, but without XUL.

Making smoketest blocker.

[R.K.Aa.]

i'm getting tons of assertions on a recent linux CVS build, but i do see the prefs.

Gdk-CRITICAL **: file gdkpixmap.c: line 63 (gdk_pixmap_new): assertion `(width
!= 0) && (height != 0)' failed.

Gdk-CRITICAL **: file gdkdraw.c: line 89 (gdk_draw_rectangle): assertion
`drawable != NULL' failed.

Gdk-CRITICAL **: file gdkpixmap.c: line 822 (gdk_pixmap_unref): assertion
`pixmap != NULL' failed.

I believe bug 95018 is a dup of this bug.

I'm getting the same assertions dark's getting on 2001081009/Linux and a couple
builds I tried before it.

Technically, this isn't a "smoketest" blocker.  The Preferences smoketest (B.25) 
 requires only that the ability to change homepage works.  And homepage changing 
does work cross platform on this mornings builds.  But digging deeper into the 
preferences workings and finding many things do not work makes this functionally 
 a definite smoketest type blocker.

Samir's on vacation. Re-assiging to pchen so he can find the right engineer to
investigate this.

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

ben, blake, any ideas...?

Comment 12

[Paul Chen]

Pref panels look ok using linux 2001081306 (well, on my machine ;-) ). Is this
new profile, old profile, both?

Comment 13

[Paul Chen]

Ok, mac 2001081304 build pref panels look fine, too. I'll go try an 8/12 build.

Comment 14

[Dave]

AFIK, prefs _look_ fine on Linux (can't speak for Win32) the only thing is that
I get all those Gdk-CRITICAL messages whenever I do anything with prefs.

Comment 15

[Paul Chen]

Prefs load fine under linux 2001-08-12-06 build. Also tried a brand new profile
with 2001-08-13-06 build, and pref panels draw ok there, too.

Comment 16

[Colin Barschel]

Attachment: the create profile panel also has some problems...

Comment 17

[Colin Barschel]

Sorry build 2001081303 has pref panel and create profile panel broken (see abow
attachment) running on win2k sp2 256MB RAM. Can't even create a new profile to
check it out.
Good luck with that

Ciao

the blank profile/mail account wizards (from the attached png) are covered in
bug 93562, methinks.

Comment 19

[Navin Gupta]

marking dup, reopen if you disagree.

[Håkan Waara]

This is nothing about windows.  It has to do with panels that don't load, at
all. Not at the first time, not at the second time.

Comment 21

[Håkan Waara]

... and even if it was the same culprit as the other bug, it would still be a
blocker.

Comment 22

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

haven't been able to repro this on winNT [2001.08.13.09-comm] with either an
existing or new profile. will try other platforms in a bit...

Comment 23

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

(win2k,Athlon 1.3Ghz, 512 MB RAM..)
I can't reproduce this with build 20010813.. (early CVS)
I tried both : Classic and Modern -> wfm

The linux assertions are from Pavlov's imagelib landing (AFAIK)

Comment 24

[Tracy Walker [:tracy]]

I miss understood this bug originally.  I have discovered some functionalities 
that aren't working or that have changed in default since Friday. But all of the 
preferences windows/dialogues worked fine for me; new profile or old, classic or 
modern skin on windows, linux and mac.  All good.  Although  I am seeing the 
assertions RKA posted. I'll double check the other bugs I saw on tomorrow 
mornings builds and if those problems are still around then I'll write bugs on 
them. 


as far as I now understand this....and can't reproduce it, it is not a smoketest 
blocker. removing keyword.

[kysmith0 (gone)]

Navin claims this is a dupe of 93558 so I am closing now...
