Mozilla 1.2 positively screwed
Bugcount so far on mozilla 1.2 in unstable, rated from really obnoxious
to just generally annoying:
1)
Observed behaviour:
Mozilla will no longer start two different components (fx. mailer and
browser) from the shell or from the kde panel. Once you have invoked the
first component, if you try to start another you will get the profile in
use message.
Expected behaviour:
In Mozilla 1.1 and previous versions, when you clicked to start the
second component it would just use the already open process to open a
window with the new component.
Note that using the -remote option is not a sollution because you don't
know if a component is already started, and mozilla used to do this
automagically.
2)
Observed behaviour:
In Address Book the personal addresses folder contains the collected
adresses!
Expected behaviour:
The collected adresses should be in the collected adresses folder.
3)
Observed behaviour:
There is no way to set mozilla to write plain text only messages. Every
time you reply to a new message it starts up as a html message and you
have to go into the options menu and select plain text email.
Expected behaviour:
In all previous versions there was a preference setting that would set
mozilla to write plain text emails every time.
4)
Observed behaviour:
Changing from html email editing to plain text editing does not convert
the edit area text to plain text. Even though the html toolbar
disappears and you are actually editing ordinary text, mozilla still
keeps all formating and typesetting of the email.
Expected behaviour:
Changing to plain text editing should remove all typesetting, fonts
should be converted to a fixed width font and graphical quotation should
be replaced with '>' characters.
5)
Observed behaviour:
Editing html replies that has been converted to plain text is generally
broken. Inserting replies into the quoted sections is difficult because
the typesetting is screwed up. If you delete a major portion of the
quoted text all the way to the end and try to move the cursor down using
enter, a new quote bar appears bellow the cursor and further linefeeds
are added below this quote bar.
Expected behaviour:
You would expect editing an email would be fairly simple.. When you hit
enter the cursor should move down to the next line and so forth.
Hope any of you can confirm these problems. I'm about ready to delete
mozilla from my system though I have no idea what browser to use instead.
Also I am using debian unstable with KDE 3.0.4.
