Build Date & Platform Bug Found: Win32 commercial seamonkey build 2000-01-03-09-m13 installed on P166 Win98 macos commercial seamonkey build 2000-01-03-08-m13 installed on G3/400 OS 8.6 Overview Description: Under the "Messenger start page" section located in the mailnews category, if you choose a local file on your hard disk, it will incorrectly specify the url. For example, these are valid urls: file:/c:/junk/test.html /c:/junk/test.html On Windows and Mac, it forgets the beginning "/" or "file:/". I can work around the problem by typing in the missing character(s) Steps to Reproduce: 1) Launch Seamonkey The browser page opens. 2) Select the Edit|Preference 3) Highlight the "mail and newsgroup" category 4) Under the Messenger start page section, click on the "select file" dialog 5) Choose a html file on your local drive 6) Press OK The dialog is dismissed and the url is displayed in the location field C:\1junk\test.html Actual Results: The url/path is incomplete. The start page will not load. In some instances, my folders do not list. Expected Results: It should automatically put in the "file:/" text in the path. It should behaves like 4.7 which does put "file:/" text. Additional Builds and Platforms Tested On: This problem occurs on mac and win32 2000-01-02-09-m13 commercial seamonkey build. Additional Information: On Linux, I could not test because of bug 22780, but it should have the same problem. http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22780

re-assign to dougt. Mr. nsIFile.

dependant on nsIFile.

adding beta1 keyword and setting m14 checkpoint.

Putting on PDT- radar for beta1. Would not hold beta for this.

see comments in 22961. If this turns out to be a url parsing problem after you apply the suggestion in 22961, than the bug is nsFileSpec related.

does this still happen? I checked in a change last night that always shows the file URL to prevent the mac from barfing. otherwise, M15

Linux (2000-03-10-13 M15) Win32 (2000-03-10-09 M15) Mac (2000-03-09-13 M15) This bug is fixed on Mac and Win32. However, on Linux: 6) Press OK The dialog is dismissed and the url is displayed in the location field file:///home/gor/interview.html Actual Results: The url/path is complete but the start page will not load. Expected result: It should load like Mac and Win32. Reopen the bug.

Mass moving to M16 to get these off the M15 radar. Please let me know if this is really an M15 stopper.
