2004-10-17 Branch builds

Find-related fixes:

  • Fixed: Find is per-tab instead of per window.
  • Fixed: 250279 - View Source doesn't use Find Toolbar / Since Find Toolbar was implemented, Find as you type is broken in "Page Source" window.
  • Fixed: 250414 - Find toolbar fails to un-highlight matching text in user-input fields.
  • Fixed: 251073 - Find as you type doesn't support "Link only mode" default start option (hidden pref accessibility.typeaheadfind.linksonly).
  • Fixed: 256656 - Find toolbar still says "Phrase not found" when starting a new find.
  • Fixed: 260887 - Topcrash: using fastfind with multiple tabs [@ nsTypeAheadFind::GetSelection].
  • Fixed: 260003 - Pressing RETURN in empty search field should not print "Phrase not found".
  • Fixed: 261722 - Find as you type should not activate on gmail keyboard shortcuts.

Other fixes:

  • Fixed: 262688 - Update theme/extension version to 1.0. Extensions that have not been updated to say they work with 1.0 will not work in this build.
  • Fixed: 225281 - Checkbox label background problem on the "Install Complete" page.
  • Fixed: 251910 - Style bookmark and history sidebar items as links.
  • Fixed: 263844 - window.close() not working on new windows opened into tabs.
  • Fixed: 263956 - [Linux] Filepicker dialog opens into new tab.
  • Fixed: 263567 - Upgrade to NSS 3.9.3 on the aviary 1.0 branch.
  • Fixed: Updated Secure icon
  • Fixed: 264571 - New bookmark items created above currently selected item, instead of below.
  • Fixed: 263960 - Popup blocker fails to stop synthetic click popup in single window mode.
  • Fixed: 227361 - Don't do resize reflows for view managers that aren't visible. (Improve window resizing and find toolbar performance when multiple tabs are open.)
  • Fixed: 232550 - Toolbar buttons should have a minimum width.
  • Fixed: 259120 - Default option should be "no, dont visit" on username/PW URLs.
  • Fixed: 255120 - [Win9x] Crash if a textbox/textarea has a value of 32769 bytes in length or greater.

This build has a lot of regressions. I recommend waiting for tomorrow's build, which will have most of them fixed.

  • Since Oct 17: 264789 - [Mac] Find toolbar appearance is broken.
  • Since Oct 16: 264683 - Leaving a page with missing plugin or popup blocked notification bar, or using Find to follow a link, causes a crash.
  • Since ~Oct 16: 264786 - Un-highlight doesn't work anymore on some sites.
  • Since ~Oct 15: 264841 - / gives focus to find bar.

    I noticed another regression, in the bookmark sidebar the bookmarks are blue and underlined. Have not looked in bugzilla if it has been reported.

  2. Jesse Ruderman Says:

    Jose: That’s intentional. “Fixed: 251910 – Style bookmark and history sidebar items as links.”

  3. José Jeria Says:

    Ugh.

  4. James Kilfiger Says:

    251891 isn’t really fixed. It has been duped against 259454, which is “new”.

    Ah, this

    was very good advice. I didn’t see it ’til MOnday, after I downloaded and used the Sunday 17th build, and yes, indeed — lots of crashes. Talkback reported some of them.

    Here’s hoping Monday’s is better.

    This branch have a bug when page contains flash. Many crashes occurs.

    In 2004-10-14 has ok.

  7. Jugalator Says:

    “Ugh.”

    You may be happier with the 2004-10-18 build then. :-)

    Hello,

    Could anyone please report this bug:

    When you “force links that open in new window” enabled as “new tab” in the advanced options, if the page contains a pop-up, the window is resized to the size of the pop-up window.

  9. Terpfen Says:

    Has the bug where multiple tabs share the same page loading status text in the status bar been fixed yet?

    So, it’s 8pm on the 18th here on the Left Coast — how’s the build for today been treating people?

    I gave up on the 17th, returned to the 16th, figuring several crashes using the build of the 17th were sufficient as my contribution of Talkback info.
