Don't people work out these details before they foist a mess like this on so many people? The problem in question is not data loss related in anyway - it is quite harmless and as it has been pointed already out, the simple workaround, if it ever happens to you, is to restart the application. Note also the problem is not introduced by the SeaMonkey developers. SeaMonkey developers wouldn't release a version which contains serious known data loss problems. -- Stanimir ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Re: I want my old Seamonkey back
Rob, and others, it's apparently not as easy to go back to an earlier SM as you think. Here's part of what I posted on another thread: >Looks like I can't go back to SM 2.0.18 (I think it was) which is what I was using before. The 'Known Issues' note for SM 2.2 is headed (in bold), 'Data loss warning' and continues: 'If you use a profile with this or any later version and then try to go back to SeaMonkey 2.0, SeaMonkey will rename your history file to places.sqlite.corrupt and create a new places.qlite file, effectively resetting your browsing history.' >Well, I don't pretend to understand all of that, but it does seem to be saying that I will lose data if I try to restore the SM version I had before. No? - Ken (in Oz) ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

All I want to do is copy-paste and spell check, all I get is a laundry list of useless (to me) functions. Every time I saw that problem, a restart of SeaMonkey helped. Someone will need to file a bug and someone will need to track it down and fix it. It's all volunteers in this project, help from everyone is wanted and needed. And what is the extra addition to the tool bar with a q of pages. I like that it opened up a new window for each e-mail link I click. You can easily remove that one if you like.
