This appears to be a duplicate of the form input refresh problem described in bug #7679. File a separate bug to german@netscape.com on the button layout issue. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 7679 ***

Bugs #7773 and #7990 have been closed as duplicate of #7679 a bit lightly: these 3 bugs have nothing to do with each other. #7679 is a difficult to reproduce Mac-specific problem where a window stops redrawing. #7773 is a very easy to reproduce Windows-NT problem where a page needs a resize to appear. #7990 is a more or less cross-platform problem that describes various problems with the Prefs dialog. Reopening.

Marking 8753 as a duplicate of this bug (so that 7990 contains all info general problems with the prefs UI). Info from 8753 reproduce below: When choosing edit/preferences am not able to go to any subcategory ( mail/news, composer, etc) to enter a preference ------- Additional Comments From cpratt@netscape.com 06/23/99 10:39 ------- The buttons are also in the wrong order again: it should be OK Cancel Help (but it's currently Help Cancel OK). Additionally, none of the categories are selectable.

To go over the basics: - Selecting Edit | Preferences results in a window filled with garbage; resizing the window refreshes correctly - The Preferences window contains items that are not selectable - It also is missing all subcategories

The preferences are as good as unusable. sigh. From 9397: "The Catergory [sic] field should be positioned in the dialog so that it's [sic] entire contents can be accessed by the user. The bottom portion of this field is overhanging the dialog. The user can get access to additional items in this field such as Advanced settings."

*** Bug 11534 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
as of the 1999081008 build, it's still munged on Windows 98; the list of different categories is missing, etc.
Humm, this seems to be because of the commercial build tree is using a different prefs file. I'm checking into it
The 8/11/99 build apparently always renders buttons in their 'depressed' state. BTW, should we be filing bugs for each individual prefs UI problem we see on each daily build, or should we just append comments to this bug?
It would be good to get another bug going on the main issues. The bugs per pane are good. thx
