using 9/22 build of netscape 1) launch netscape 2) launch composer Modern skin is what comes up as my default 3) enter some text/objects 4) using Prefs, change the skin to classic and hit Apply. notice all the text/objects you entered into Composer is gone.

Isn't this a dup of 57394 (or vice versa)?

this is not a DUP....53794 is about having to exit composer and relaunch in order to even use it this bug is about data loss..

Yes, but the problem is the same, you really have to quit composer (including saving your changes) before switching skins. This may be the simplest fix: loop through all open Composer windows and do "onclose", which will force users to save data in each window, then continue to switch skins. Maybe even save the url during the closing loop and reopen windows after switching skin?

nominating for nsbeta3, we encounter dataloss in composer and in mail compose

Marking this as P1 [nsbeta3-] and [rtm+]. I wouldn't hold beta for it, but we better fix this before we ship. Ben, is this our bug or something for hyatt? And is it related to bug #53794?

Use the attached method to loop through all HTML Composer windows (including mail). This probably needs extra logic to properly close down a mail message window (call a mail-specific routine instead of tempWindow.editorShell.CloseWindowWithoutSaving) or maybe a different 'CanClose' method, but this will get you started. This should be executed from a browser window, not from one of the windows being closed. Note that you have to use EditorCanClose() to properly close the Insert Character non-modal dialog window that is associated with an open Composer window.

these bugs will not be fixed before N6.0

er, rtm-
