But you've taken the time to do that, compile, and package it for
distribution, which is so much appreciated. Your modesty is misplaced,
my friend. Your work - hard or not - shows *every* day we use these (now
vital) apps. I wish there was more that we could do to help facilitate
your efforts. I know that you are bandwidth constrained. Is broadband

often have FF, SM, and TB open at the same time and compiling can use
quite a few resources. I've been using this build for close to a week
and before that an almost identical one that reported itself as ver 2.7.

There is a local ISP that was supposed to be putting in wireless last
Sept. It sounded pretty positive but depended on getting a government
grant and access to a local mountain top to receive a 3.2GHz signal and
resend it at 800 Mhz. Hopefully when the snow goes away it'll happen.
There's also rumours of a cell tower going in, probably to support smart
meters, but the cell companies in Canada make the American ones seem good.

Something's still not right with focus. At random times, moving mouse across
email window, focus shifts to my cmd window containing FC/2, where the contents
of an unopened SM error console are dumped into the FC/2 window as if each
error entry was a command entered at a prompt. e.g. "J:\>(firefox-bin:3295):
GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)`
failed; SYS1079: : was unexpected at this time". At last instance, 6 similar
lines pollute FC/2 cmd history. I don't recall having opened Firefox since last
boot either. Though it's possible I may have, there is no instance in the
Ctrl-ESC window list.

used to use glib and it is still a dependency, it was only used to build
a program that processed IDL files into headers and has been replaced by
a python script. Not only that but I'm pretty sure gobject is glib2
thing and I've only got glib-1.2.1 (actually glib2 is installed in
\usr\local but it is not on any path). Firefox-bin is also IIRC the Unix
name for Firefox which does use the GTK toolkit and glib2.
Almost like you have pollution from a Linux version but I can't imagine
how that would happen.

After some thought it became obvious this was clipboard content. Source was
text file "out" on L:, which is a cifs connection from my eCS to this Linux,
from which I used FC/2 to copy 6 lines of content later pasted into a Bugzilla
comment in a 2.7.2 tab on eCS. So what's new here is focus trouble escaping to
the clipboard, then moving its content to another app's window somehow.

Multiple times daily my mouse pointer disappears into the ether only to be
rediscovered by me after moving it around enough to grab my attention. It's
been happening far too long to recall if it ever didn't happen.

Don't know what you mean by "hot corner". Typically the browser window fills
the entire height from 1" from left edge to 1/4" from right edge. Email goes
beyond right edge and about 1/4" left of left of browser window, with top of
browser window down to urlbar peeking above mail window. Underneath it all full
width but from bottom of screen up about 70% is the FC/2 window. Peeking out at
upper left is a piece of desktop that includes "Local System" and the pager. So
the paste escape must happen when the mouse somehow skips left to the peeking
left end of the FC/2 window.
SET AUTOSTART=PROGRAMS,TASKLIST,FOLDERS,WARPCENTER
WarpCenter is at top of screen, SM status bar is usually at bottom.
Current uptime is about 92 hours.
I get the feeling something somehow is triggering mouse gestures, which I would
never enable intentionally.
Who's to say that the many months ago manual replacement of Estyler 1.0 DLL
with 1.1's has nothing to do with this? Maybe I should get around to installing
eCS 2.0 to replace this ancient 1.14 before long. I downloaded it over a year
ago. :-p

been happening far too long to recall if it ever didn't happen.

the entire height from 1" from left edge to 1/4" from right edge. Email goes
beyond right edge and about 1/4" left of left of browser window, with top of
browser window down to urlbar peeking above mail window. Underneath it all full
width but from bottom of screen up about 70% is the FC/2 window. Peeking out at
upper left is a piece of desktop that includes "Local System" and the pager. So
the paste escape must happen when the mouse somehow skips left to the peeking
left end of the FC/2 window.
SET AUTOSTART=PROGRAMS,TASKLIST,FOLDERS,WARPCENTER
WarpCenter is at top of screen, SM status bar is usually at bottom.
Current uptime is about 92 hours.
I get the feeling something somehow is triggering mouse gestures, which I would
never enable intentionally.
Who's to say that the many months ago manual replacement of Estyler 1.0 DLL
with 1.1's has nothing to do with this? Maybe I should get around to installing
eCS 2.0 to replace this ancient 1.14 before long. I downloaded it over a year
ago. :-p

to the upper left of the screen which I blamed on where I'm currently
using my optical mouse and it going over the edge or the desk. Seems
also I've only seen this on eCS 2.1, not Warp 4.5.
I have yet had any clipboard contents accidentally paste into anything
including fc/2 which is usually open.

Too hard to use. I'm back on 2.6.whatever from December 21 until something
newer sounds fixed, or I can find 2-3 days to install eCS 2.0 to see if the OS
installation or configuration is the problem.

Well, we were both in on that discussion, too. ;-) On an up-note, I just
did two upgrades for a client, one from 1.2 and another form 2.0 RC6,
and both went off without a hitch. In your case, though, I suspect
you'll want to do a clean install and not a migration, though what's
been holding me off on my own upgrades has been the thought of all of
that *stuff* either having to be re-installed manually or the risk of a
migration chewing it up. Still, our builds are getting to an age where
it's hard to tell what antiquated/patched/hacked version of what could
be causing odd behavior!
I do see that you rolled back again. I'm sticking with this build for
now, as overall, it seems stable for me (other than the few points we've
discussed here).

getting awfully crufty, crashes when shutting down lately, get
complaints when starting up, SMP causes a trap when doing anything
including looking at the mouse :) yet it is more stable then eCS 2.1
with the latest ACPI, certain things work that I haven't gotten to work
on eCS and is very familiar after using for 15+ years.
SeaMonkey and other Mozilla apps run just the same on the old crusty
system as the new install. Perhaps even better as they stay up for
longer. An old install doesn't need to equal bad.

Tabs scroll over the buttons then even the menus scroll off of the top

like, that ! in nsFrameManager.h was probably wrong and it was.
Still left with a few subtle bugs. Installing a persona and restarting
resulted in a hang, worked around by killing Firefox and starting in
safemode. Re-enabling all extensions and restarting worked.
Now I notice that clicking the download button for a preference or
persona doesn't work. Worked around by RMB and opening in new tab.
Now I can't scroll the tabs right and left is way too quick. Also that
add-on still displays a blank popup with working buttons. And this is 5
month old 11a. All I can do is try to trace down the commits that broke
this and that. I need to test on trunk tip and file bugs from there. And
it took me 4 days to fix the crash so how long will it take to trace
down these subtle bugs.
I had hopes for a 13 or 14 release but now if I spend a lot of time we
might see a 17esr release. I do want an up to date browser so'll
probably keep working on this but really it is probably a full time job
for someone, hopefully with a faster computer then I have. (1.25 hrs to
compile Firefox here, much better then the 8 hours it used to take).
Also can't believe how fast keeping all these trees around eats up disk
space.

The tab problem was caused by part 2 of bug#704171 and fixed in #706323.

generally if Firefox won't build then neither will SeaMonkey. Though the
tab problem wouldn't have affected SeaMonkey, the crash that I
previously fixed would have. So the procedure is build a working
Firefox, then SeaMonkey and Thunderbird which usually just work at that
point.
Firefox is also faster to build, though still taking over an hour using
both cores (close to 2 hours with one core, make -j2 generally means
compiling 2 object files at once).

Dave what system board do you have? Seems to me, if we can get you into
a quad core (Q8400 or Q9400 or better), that would be a better move from
an E6300. Alternatively, a newer system with an i5 or i7 might be a good
upgrade. I would donate time & materials to this for you.

Dave, it looks like that board can take a Core 2 Extreme X6800 2.93GHz,
