bring up mail, and you get a funny looking password dialog. It doesn't go away and mozilla starts taking up 100% CPU time you get this on the screen: JavaScript Error: TypeError: window.arguments has no properties URL: chrome://global/content/commonDialog.js so it looks like window.arguments is broken Travis is looking into this.
I see the following errors when trying to bring up an alert: before clearItemSelection JavaScript Error: TypeError: window.frames["messagepane"] has no properties URL: chrome://messenger/content/msgMail3PaneWindow.js LineNo: 453 JavaScript Error: TypeError: window.frames["messagepane"] has no properties URL: chrome://messenger/content/msgMail3PaneWindow.js LineNo: 453 So I suspect it's window.* that's broken, or at least more than window.arguments

I see this on Mac as well; set platform/os to all. alecf--do you also see this problem (below) or do you think it's a different bug? I am having problems with buttons still (even after Travis' fix). Here are the steps I tried: * From navigator window, Edit Preferences * Click on "Navigator" (click it again if it doesn't display pane) * Change Navigator starts with by clicking a different radio button * Click OK (nothing happens--I expect window to go away)
adding waterson, because he's fixing some window event/JS stuff, may be related.
bienvenu - make sure you have the latest (as of 11:41) changes from mozilla/dom and mozilla/rdf/content
