Package: mozilla-browser
Version: 0.9.9-6
Severity: Important
I recently reported this bug to the bugzilla database (bug #152338,
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152338). When I
downloaded and ran the offical mozilla.org build of 0.9.9, as
suggested by the moz team, I found the problem does not occur.
Therefore it appears to be a Debian-specific bug. I have seen it in
every Debian/woody Mozilla package from 0.94 up to the current 0.9.9,
and even in the 1.0-rc3 package from the unstable dist.
The bug occurs under KDE, Gnome, and Windowmaker (the three
desktops/window managers I have tried). I don't see this problem with
any other app, so it appears to be in the mozilla package itself.
Here is the bug report I filed with bugzilla:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020412
Debian/0.9.9-6
Many one-button informational dialogs that come up can not be
dismissed (e.g.when a text search fails). Some two-button (Ok and
Cancel) dialogs do it as well, such as when prompted to overwrite a
file. I have seen this same bug on my Debian Linux system (running
strictly woody/testing dist on an Athlon) in all versions since 0.9.4,
up to and including 1.0.0 (don't know about before 0.9.4). I have
used only the Debian packages for Mozilla; my current package contains
Mozilla build 20020412.
Reproducible : Always
1) Search a web page for some text not on that page.
2) A "Text Not Found" dialog with an Ok button appears and can't be
dismissed.
Or
1) Start a file download.
2) In the Save As dialog, choose a file that already exists.
3) A Confirm dialog box asking whether to overwrite the file appears
and can't be dismissed.
Actual Results:
Dialog can't be dismissed. Focus can be changed to other Mozilla
windows that are already open, but Mozilla does not respond to further
commands. Specifically: new windows can not be opened; the top menu
bar and the right-click mouse menu will not dropdown/appear; hotkey
sequences such as Find, Open Web Location, Open File do not function;
currently open pages can not even be scrolled, using either the scroll
bar or a mouse wheel. In short Mozilla stops responding to all input.
Effectively Mozilla has crashed, even though the windows remain open
Mozilla must be killed and restarted.
Expected Results:
Close the dialog box!

to) re-open the bug and reassign it to iceape-browser.
