build 1999042908 to reproduce: select file | open and navigate to a local file. open the file. result: blank browser window. expected result: the file's contents are displayed in the new window.

Bill, any idea what's causing this? I don't think it's really our bug ...

I know precisely what's causing it: the "window.open" stuff dave hyatt recently did broke file->open (as conveyed in last week's status report, where I predicted that I'd suffer the consequences). Dave says *I* can go back and fix it, now that we've finessed the "shared XUL document" business. Gee, thanks. I guess I'll try to go do that.

OK, we hashed it out and came up with a scheme (hardly a hack at all) that makes all 4 situations work. The 4 situations being: 1. Normal load (goes to "Gecko welcome" page 2. File->open 3. apprunner -url http://foo.bar 4. window.open("http://foo.bar"); from JS

looks like it's fixed on the 1999043008 build using NT. will wait for linux and mac os builds to verify today.

cpratt, could you verify now please.

Works fine. 1999051108 build, NT 4.

Moving all Apprunner bugs past and present to Other component temporarily whilst don and I set correct component. Apprunner component will be deleted/retired shortly.
