Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:10.0)
Gecko/20120129 Firefox/10.0 SeaMonkey/2.7. But I can't help with why.
I haven't had any problems with the pages I go to and haven't seen
anything like that anywhere else except the link you posted. I ran
that page through validator.w3.org and it has 68 markup errors and 11
warnings and 204 CSS errors but I don't know if one of them is causing
the display problem or not. However, IE 9 does display it correctly.
Jim
The following line in the propertyDetails.css file is what is causing
the problem:
#controlpanel{background-color:#5d5d5d;left:0;bottom:7.5em;height:2.4em;opacity:.85;filter:alpha(opacity=85);color:#FFF;position:absolute;width:620px}
The bottom:7.5em causes the control panel to be displayed 7.5em (font
heights) up from the bottom of the main image container. If that is
changed to bottom:0 it displays at the bottom of the container where
you would expect it. I don't know html or css so don't know if it is
coded wrong or is being rendered wrong, but to me it looks like it is
being rendered just as it is coded. Perhaps somebody that knows html
and css will comment.

Places maintenance
I have been having this annoying glitch where Seamonkey sorta refuses to save the correct site icon for a particular Wikia-hosted wiki -- but only if I have aggressively look for website icons (browser.chrome.favicons) turned on. I used to think that it was a Seamonkey bug, but now I'm not so sure -- I'm unable to reliably reproduce it with other Wikia-hosted wikis. So, I'm now thinking it might be some sort of damage to my Places database. The thing is, I don't want to lose either my bookmarks (some thousands of them) or my history (six months plus). I attempted to rename places.sqlite to see if Seamonkey would create a new database and pull back the data from Sync, but it only worked half-way -- it did pull the bookmarks, but it didn't pull the history. Maybe I should have renamed/moved Seamokey's other fallbacks... Anyway, I did some googling and noticed that there is a Firefox extension called Places maintenance, and it seems to be recommended by lots of people. But it's not listed as compatible with Seamonkey. So, does anybody have any info about: a) Making Places maintenance work with Seamonkey, or b) A similar extension which is Seamonkey-compatible, or c) Doing the same thing the hard way (I'm not afraid of downloading a few utilities and running command-line stuff), or d) The correct way to do what I attempted originally (that is, to use Sync to import back my history and bookmarks), or e) Another practical way to export/import backups and bookmarks, in order to manually rebuild the database? -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.

Re: Can't delete messages in SM 2.7
OK, I think I've solved it; I've had 12 hours without trouble. Strange thing is, it had nothing to do with the Trash folder. Here's what I did: In SM, I created a temporary mail folder and dragged and dropped all messages from the Inbox to that folder. I closed SM and deleted the Inbox and the corresponding index file Index.msf. I restarted SM and compacted folders, then dragged and dropped the messages from the temporary folder back to Inbox and deleted the temporary folder. Why this worked, I can't say, but I've deleted over a hundred messages from various folders in this account in the past 12 hours and none of them has given me any trouble. -- War doesn't determine who's right, just who's left. -- Paul B.

SeaMonkey deafault send from address

Jim I know that it is working as designed to have SeaMonkey ignore the default mail program setting and use its internal mail client for mailto: links but I personally never thought that was correct behavior. Even Microsoft honors the default mail program and if I have SeaMonkey set as the default mail program mailto: links in IE open the SeaMonkey mail composer. It's not a problem for me because I use SeaMonkey as my mail client, but I think programs should honor a users defaults, but that's just me and not the developers.

Or View|Layout. Most folks won't know what to search on. I also forget sometimes. I sort it out by going to about:config and searching for 'abbrev'. But that is only because I know it's there. @Mike: I add this to my 'user.js' file: user_pref(mail.server.default.abbreviate,false); That way when I create new profiles on my other machines, I simply copy the user.js file over.

Seamonkey 2.7.1
I notice that a Seamonkey 2.7.1 has just been released (as well as Firefox 10.0.1. It's not yet available from the get updates menu, but since Firefox IS, I expect Seamonkey will eventually be also. I had to dig a bit around, and the best I could find was this: Firefox 10.0.1 fixes critical issues that came to light shortly after Firefox 10 had been released to the public. This includes at least one startup crash when the browser is opened by the user, and one Java related issue that is causing text fields to hang in the browser. Firefox users can resolve that issue manually by minimizing or resizing the browser. The patch released later today will fix the issues permanently though. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.

Due to a bug which prevents non-admins from performing updates on OS X, I ignored it, because I was too busy to mess with it at the time. Did see 2.7.1 out and updated to it manually today. Will pick up the 2.8 betas shortly. -- Rich(Pull thorn from address to e-mail me.)

Two extensions that I use were rendered disabled by SM 2.7.1: Password Exporter and Show my Password. I have four different profiles, all of which have Show my Password and three of which have Password Exporter. Tweaking install.rdf for the installed Password Exporter in the profile that is always selected when launching SeaMonkey re-enabled that extension for that profile. That did not work for the other two profiles where it was installed. The install.rdf file for Show my Password had already been tweaked to allow compatibility through SeaMonkey 2.9.*. However, that did not enable it for any extension. I had to re-install these two extensions (after tweaking install.rdf for the XPI installer of Password Exporter) to enable them in their profiles. Is this a bug in Addons Manager? Or is this a problem with the extensions? -- David E. Ross http://www.rossde.com/.
