Details

After following a link from my.netscape.com and clicking the <BACK> button, the scrollbars on the right and bottom of the window have disappeared. It looks like this is only happening to the new channels where a navigation bar is placed at the top of the screen. F.e. the old channels for Mozillazine (service=mozillazine) works fine if you click on the title, and then return to my.netscape.com The new channel (service=net.254) however will make the scrollbars disappear after returning to my.netscape.com. I am using the version of 18/3/99 12:36pm (apprunner.exe) I am not a developer, so I can't give you any further details. Please let me know if you are interested in these kind of bugs.

cpratt-Can you try this with all platforms, latest build please.
Richard - thanks for the bug. Here's what I see under Win 98: My Netscape is apparently down at the moment, so I'm presented with a page full of links. After following one, clicking Back, following another one, and clicking Back again, the scroll bars are missing from the page at http://my.netscape.com. This bug looks valid to me. Jan, if requested, I'll look at this under linux and Mac OS 8.5 Tuesday Mar 23.
Target Milestone: M4
Clearing Milestone for don to re-set.

Component: Apprunner → XP Toolkit/Widgets
Re-assigned to trudelle@netscape.com and changed component to XP Toolkit/Widgets. Peter, is this more of the usual window size problem?

Target Milestone: M5
I can't reproduce, because I can't even see the page once. reassigning to danm as p3 for m5
I also can't reproduce this problem. Both viewer and apprunner have awful problems trying to load http://my.netscape.com with a current build (WinNT, 19 Apr 99 debug). Neither can get as far as even displaying a scrollbar on the first visit. On the other hand, http://home.netscape.com will load. When that page is subjected to this test, the scrollbars work. Whatever problem there was with scrollbars, it was probably a short-lived, well-known thing. We have worse problems now; apparently in layout.
Target Milestone: M5 → M6
pushing off to M6 because this bug, if still present, is obscured by other layout bugs.
Severity: normal → major
Summary: Scrollbars disappear in my.netscape.com → DOGFOOD - Scrollbars disappear in my.netscape.com
adding nisheeth to the cc list. he is working on clearing out the layout blockage
Target Milestone: M6 → M7
Still having trouble loading (or should I say, can't load) my.netscape.com using Mozilla. It's not a layout problem. But it does stop me from getting to step 1 of this bug. Postponing to next milestone.

In spite of my previous comments, Mozilla will load enough of my.netscape.com to get an active link or two, and some scrollbars, if the window is scrunched up enough. Hit "stop" so it takes what it can get, go to one of the links, and hit "back." And "stop." Still have scrollbars. So I declare this bug fixed sometime after it was reported. But there does still remain the basic problem loading this page. Is there a separate bug for that?

Well, My Netscape is now (largely) loading using the 1999070608 build under NT, and this bug - if I follow it exactly as written - seems to have been fixed. Marking verified.
