squirrelmail: failing to display on internet explorer
Package: squirrelmail
Version: 1:1.2.4-1
Severity: normal
[cc'd to debian-user since i need to fix or circumvent this somehow]
a strange bug started to appear recently that seems to affect only users
of IE (why do i even care?). anyway, it's been reproduced on IE 4.01 and
IE 5.5, but cannot be reproduced on opera 5.0 and 6.0 for windoze, and
neither on opera 6.0 TP3 for linux. netscape 4.77 and konqueror 2.2.2
are also unaffected,
the bug results in certain messages producing a blank page in the right
pane (IE 5) or no action whatsoever (IE 4). the following plugins are
loaded:
1. bug_report
2. filters
3. sent_subfolders
4. newmail
5. abook_import_export
6. xheader
7. view_as_html
8. timeout_user
9. quota_usage
10. motd
11. listcommands
12. gzip
13. email_footer
14. autocomplete
15. auto_cc
16. attachment_tnef
17. abook_take
18. translate
19. squirrelspell
20. password_forget
21. focus_change
22. folder_synch
23. secure_login
right on the login page, IE reports an error:
line 9, char 5: can't move focus to the control because it's invisible,
not enabled, or of a type that does not accept focus.
i immediately thought that this has to do with the focus_change plugin, but
disabling that didn't fix the problem. i still went ahead and disabled
plugins 4, 21, 22, and 23.
when logged in, the index of INBOX displays, and some short messages are
viewable, but any message of reasonable size produces en empty page.
the empty page produced has the following HTML code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html;
charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>
is this a known issue? can this be fixed?
