SeaMonkey Bug Event 18 to 20 May 2011
Tony Mechelynck
Nugzilla") will be held on IRC on 18, 19 and 20 may 2011, 14h to 24h
GMT. Full details, including equivalent times for various timezones
around the world, what to test and with which tools, are available at
https://wiki.mozilla.org/SeaMonkey/Bug_events/20110518
The main goal is to give a thorough test to SeaMonkey 2.1, which is
expected to be released any time soon, most probably before Nugzilla starts.
If you have questions (after reading the page linked above), feel free
to ask them, either by replying to the copy of this post published in
the mozilla.dev.apps.seamonkey newsgroup, or on IRC in the #seamonkey
channel (on, of course, the irc.mozilla.org server known to ChatZilla as
"moznet").
If you are using SeaMonkey (or Firefox with Chatzilla installed),
clicking the following links will open the corresponding channel in
ChatZilla:
irc://moznet/seamonkey
irc://moznet/bugday
Best regards,
Tony "tonymec" Mechelynck.

Will the problem of creating multiple tabs when clicking on the "Home"
icon be fixed before the release of 2.1? For complete description of the
bug, please see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=616601

That bug is of "enhancement" severity (enhancements are never blocking),
and no one has started working on a patch yet (it is not yet ASSIGNED).
OTOH, the SeaMonkey 2.1 source tree is now RESTRICTED pending the
building of the 2.1 release-candidate (cf. .
AFAIK it is now too late to fix that bug on the SeaMonkey 2.1 code
branch before the 2.1 release -- it will have to wait until 2.1.1 (or
some 2.1.1pre nightly) at the earliest.
Also, AFAIK bugs which affect both trunk and branch are supposed to be
fixed first on the trunk. As long as the 2.1 branch was in beta the fix
could be ported quite quickly to the branch, sometimes even landed on
both trunk and branch. With the public release of Sm 2.1, bugfixes will
now (as for all other code branches) have to land first on trunk (i.e.
currently on "2.2 alpha" code), "cook" a little there to check for any
possible side-effects, and be ported to branch after maybe a couple of
weeks (and, at least in some cases, get approval before they land on the
branch).
Even though I use a multitab homepage, I had not noticed this problem
because I only use said homepage to define which tabs shall be opened at
next startup; I don't use the Home button at all. In a new tab or window
I display a blank page, unless of course they are opened by some "Open
in new tab" or "Open in new window" for a link etc.
Best regards,
Tony.

I have already reported it on the "seamonkey builds" forum
(http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2177087&sid=cbfaeaa9b0f035110ef59cfcf82f04c2),
but I'm not sure of which the correct place is.
Scrolling on the tab bar works in the browser window, but not in the
mail window.
Installing "tab wheel scroll" extension makes scrolling normal in the
mail window, but tabs in the browser window are scrolled two at a time.
Is it possible to extend tab scrolling to the mail window, for instance
in SM 2.1.1? Or to add an option to about:config, which disables
automatic scrolling, so that I can install TWS without having the
browser scroll two tabs at a time?

Yes, that's: <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=652822>

Since it doesn't affect localization it should be possible to land for a
minor release, but it's more likely that it will be fixed in the next
major version (say, 2.2).

Unlikely.

As usual when doing a 'simple' bug I eventually discover that to do that
I need to fix B but before I can fix B I need to fix C which depends on
D being fixed. Which is to say that the innards of the tabbmail code
needs to be modernized something bad.

Sorry to answer this post this late. In 24-hour notation,
12:00 GMT (Greenwich mean time, obsolete name)
= 12:00 UTC (Universal Time Coordinated, the current official name)
= 13:00 BST (British Summer Time)
= 13:00 CET (Central European [winter] time)
= 14:00 CEST (Central European Summer Time).
The Sun rises in the East and sets in the West, or if you prefer, Earth
rotates from West to East (both sentences are equivalent modulo a change
of reference frame). When it is high noon in England (Western Europe, on
the East side of the Atlantic), it is not yet noon in the Americas (on
the West side) (the sun has not yet reached that Western continent, or
the Earth has not yet rotated it eastward under the Sun), and it is the
afternoon in continental Europe (except its westernmost country,
Portugal, which uses British time) (the Sun has already passed over it,
or the Earth has already rotated it eastward away from under the Sun).
Wall clock time in (non-Portuguese) continental Europe (where I live) is
almost always nine hours later than California time (as shown by wall
clocks, if any, in Mozilla's Mountain View offices) except for a week or
two in spring and autumn, when the switch between summer time (or DST)
and winter time does not happen on the same day.
Best regards,
Tony.

Not a problem with the above, Tony, but in the original post the time
frame was quoted as 12h to 24h GMT (12hrs) and 14h to 24h CEST (only 10hrs).
No problems

Official name "Universal Coordinated Time". "UTC" doesn't stand for
anything because the Anglophones and the Francophones in the committee
couldn't agree on the order of the acronym so they picked an acronym
that was "wrong" in either language.
