seamonkey-2.0 oddity

Post by rolfp »

On Mandriva 2010.0 x86_64, I upgraded to a community build: http://mib.pianetalinux.org/mib/en/comp ... ey-20.html

The profile import from -1.x (almost 8G) was flawless, afaict, and the new suite is quite nice, with a few niggles like File for email not including the full folder tree when in the message. There is one more weirdness, atm, that exposes how much force of habit, muscle memory enters into usability, for me.

Image

The suite component icons at the left of the status (iianm) bar are like this in Navigator, Mail, and, just checking for the purpose of this post, the less-frequently-used Composer, Address Book, and Chatzilla windows. When in an email Message window, it's like this:

Image

Not quite the end of the world but I often use these icons to switch windows from the message window, so I notice it.

This may have been fixed.

I'm running a 2.0.2 pre version, and mine are the same in all three windows (browesr, mail, and compose)

Unless it's only in the theme you are running

if this is a "community built" program, then maybe you should be asking them.

hehehe, I have been wondering since 2.0b as I am the only one on the earth who know this issue :-$

Purpler Hippo is right. post it to their newsgroups/irc channel would be a fast way to get reaction.

Are you sure ? It only happens on each "message" window (not a tabbed one). Yes. it's fine on Mail component. but try to open messages in new window, and it's there (at least on my 2.0 Windows build).

You are right, in a separate message window, the icons are in different order, still so in 2.0.2pre.

I had not noticed, because I basically never open messages in new windows - I always use the 3-paned arrangement.

you're right. I can confirm the same in the windows version. Hadn't noticed that. Perhaps you should search bugzilla and if nothing found, then file a bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/

The icons are in the right place for me, although I'm using a third-party (Pinball) theme.

I installed and ran Pinball, but the message window icons are differently arranged in the same fashion. Are you sure you're viewing the message window?

They all show in the same order for me on the 2.0 release with Modern.

Bottom to top: navigator window, mail window, compose, html editor, address book.

I think it's a theme thing.

Open any messages in new window, you will see difference on there. it doesn't happen on compose or mail window itself. only showing up on message window.

I can confirm that I am seeing the same thing in SM 2.0. I don't have Chatzilla installed, though. The order of the icons is different only in a message window.

Dave.

This has first been reported by chicagofan in the newsgroups:
http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla. ... e72ac13d81

Unfortunately the reporter didn't file a bug and the thread dropped out of my sight. :-(

rolfp, can you file a bug please? Just be sure to include the term "standalone message window" in the summary to make it clear what this bug is about. Please also double-check with the Modern theme (the alternative theme that comes with SeaMonkey) to show that this is not limited to the default theme. Thanks.

Here, a message window above a browser window shows the same phenomenon, using Modern:
