In addition, the OK button will not work at all, I have to cancel and lose any preference changes made to this point Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open Preferences 2.Click "Mail and Newsgroups" 3.Try to select a different preference, or try to click OK Actual Results: It sorta hung. It was possible to hit cancel and escape but preferences became useless Expected Results: Obviously, for Mozilla to not hang like this

gack! this happens on today's linux opt comm bits, too. [2000.05.15.08] marking all/all. this occurs after selecting *any* of the Mail and Newsgroups categories. the following appears in the console: CSSLoaderImpl::DidLoadStyle: Load of URL 'chrome://communicator/skin/pref/pref.css' failed. Error code: 16389 JavaScript error: chrome://global/content/nsWidgetStateManager.js line 128: this.dataManager.pageData[aPageTag] has no properties

Using may 16 commercial builds, NT 4.0 and Mac OS 9.0 -- Worse: if you're in the mail window and go to Edit|Preferences (which would select mail and newsgroups pref category) you are hung. No pref dialog appears, no way out that I've found.

Confirming on Windows 2000 as well. You can get out of the hang by deleting mozregistry.dat and mozver.dat.

Not sure why, but going to preferences, doing whatever, saying OK and then re opening preferences gives you just the right pane of whatever the last preference you were looking at. No Ok, Cancel or anything, just that little pane.

noticed that this also happens after selecting the Advanced category, using today's bits 2000.05.18.08 [opt comm] on all platforms. am guessing it's due to the same bug, so updating summary.

Sometimes this hangs up the application.

must kill all mailnews bugs. poor ben is way overloaded. I'll investigate this later today.

oh, and here's the console info after clicking another category after clicking Advanced: JavaScript error: chrome://global/content/nsWidgetStateManager.js line 126: elements[i] has no properties since it's in line 126, rather than 128, this may or may not be a seperate bug. however, if the fix for the original one (Mail & News...getting error in line 128) fixes the one for Advanced, that'd be good.
