Details

PC Win98, 95 or Mac PPC 8.5 Seamonkey Jan21 1. Launch Seamonkey 2. Choose to restart your machine from proper menus; Mac is "Special", PC is START menu. • The OS is unable to complete application shutdown. On Mac you have to manually quit the app and then restart cmd issued proceeds. On PC with Windows you must end task manually when alert is presented. Did not check Linux yet as build for Redhat not ready; plus user is much less likely to perform same restart op on a UNIX box. Windows NT 4.0 was able to make the app quit without user intervention.
Expected behavior is for OS to quit the app and restart once user instructs via OS level menu cmd to restart machine.
that would be viewer.exe on PC and viewer.app on Mac
OS: Windows 98 → All
The problem on the Mac is that we have the flag set to accept high-level events (i.e. AppleEvents) but have no code in place to actually handle them. It may be that we never change the test viewer app to support AppleEvents but at some point the 'real' SeaMonkey app is going to have to support AppleEvents (the 4 basic - Open, Run, Print and Quit and the Internet app standard GetURL are probably sufficient for 5.0 but some of the more common ones from previous Navigator releases would be nice).
