1. From the new form manager toolbar, click view saved data
2. Click on any of the choices below name (Notice you can't see half the field
of the title of the field
3. Click back to name, now the same problem occurs with name
Expected Result: should be able to see and enter data in the fields
Actual Results: form manager is unusable
I have seen this on the mac build 2001010408-Mtrunk (Classic and Modern theme)

Terri, isn't this a dup of either bug 62722 or bug 63616? Marking it as a dup
of the latter.

I don't think so, this is behavior that just began today. 63616 is simply that
the fields are too small, this bug refers to the fact the fields become "hosed"
and therefore this feature becomes completely unusable.
62722 refers to menus and skins, has nothing to do with this as it occurs in
classic and modern
Also, I see weird behavior in Linux as well, if you save some data, such as
name, password and address, when you go to view the data, again, name is fine
but if you click anywhere below name, no fields are available and when you click
back on name, it no longer appears.
So, I think this is a new bug but I'll leave it up to you

OK, if it just began today then it's not a dup. Removing the dup indication.

No, Windows is fine, although your new toolbar does not show up on 98? (Build
2001010404) If you go to view toolbars, it's listed and checked but does not
show if checked or not (different bug, huh?)

This sounds like a new bug so file a new report on it. Thanks.
Comment 8•24 years ago

The toolbar pops up only when first launching Mozilla or when viewing a page
which has a form in it, that's why you couldn't see it, tpreston, me thinks.
Comment 9•24 years ago

This bug does not appear to be Mac System specific. I see the same behavior on
Linux using 0.7.
Comment 10•24 years ago
|
||
This bug is in place for Linux build ID 2001012221.
I see fields for 1-st/last name,
but pages corresponded to other entries on the left side are just empty.
Forms are, however, filled correctly with previously captured data.

seening on commercial builds:
windows 2001-02-13-06-mtrunk
linux 2001-02-13-06-mtrunk
mac 2001-02-13-04-mtrunk
this bug got worse. before when you went to the form manager and previewed the
stored forma data there would be fields present. Complete fileds on windows and
partial fields on mac and linux. now when you get to preview window on all
three platforms the preview pane is empty

steve: I think this was my fault! I backed out my changes, but want to make sure
that the problem goes away (and that I don't break it again in the future). How
do I get to the form manager dialog? I don't seem to have the form manager
toolbar in my build.
Comment 15•24 years ago

The toolbar was removed last week.
But you can get to the dialog that demonstrates the problem from the task menu
as follows:
tasks->privacy->form-manager->view-saved-data

No, I don't thing it's fixed. The original problem was reported on January 4
and had to do with the fields being clipped or something similar. It got worse
this morning in that the fields were gone completely and that was what twalker
commented on. Your checkin today brought the fields back but probably had no
effect on the original complaint.

verified back to original bug state on commercial builds:

windows 2001-02-14-06-mtrunk (note: on windows this makes it back to functioning
correctly...this bug is a linux and mac bug)
Comment 19•24 years ago

Still not convinced that this isn't a dup of bug 63616. Assigning to andreww
(since he already has that bug assigned to him) to determine if they are
related. Also cc'ing hewitt@netscape.com since he has the companion bug 62722.
For clarification, bug 62722 is about editable-menulists never having been
implemented in any theme other than classic. So it's a feature that was never
completely implemented. Whereas bug 63616 says that even in classic skin the
implementation of editable-menulists has problems on platforms other than
windows.

Looking at this today.
Comment 22•24 years ago
|

not sure if this is skins related, still investigating, but I found a workaround
- if you resize the dialog (at least on mac ) the forms elements "return"...
Could this be a layout bug? Still looking.

Thanks, I was about to do that. :)
I'm betting it's something to do with having that titlebox inside the panel. I
saw this in tabs, and perhaps it's showing up in titleboxes too now.

Comment 27•24 years ago

I think I've hit on the key to this bug, thanks to a comment from evaughan - and
I'm going to test it out on my local copy. I believe the source of the problem
is that there are HTML widgets in the form xul files, which evaughan said may
cause layout problems. I'm testing this right now...
Comment 28•24 years ago
|
||
When you say "form xul files", are you referring the the xul files in
extensions/wallet/editor? If so, these are the same html widgets that you find
in the prefs files (xpfe/components/prefwindow/resources/content) and, in fact,
the form-manager files were derived from those pref files.
Comment 29•24 years ago

I've tried everything I could think of to either work around this or try to get
to the root of the problem. I see this on every skin I've tried (around 6 or so
including sky-pilot) and the strange thing is that the contents of the iframe
will in fact show up if you resize the window even just 1 pixel, which lends me
to believe that somehow the iframe is not getting a repaint or refresh when it
initially needs to , and that by my resizing the window, it then in fact
completes the display. Marking helpwanted. I believe this is beyond a themes -
specific issue.

Aha! I've continued to beat this horse till it coughed forth some clues. I am
posting two examples of WalletName.xul. One which "works" and one which "doesnt".
The only difference is that the one that works has only one <row> tag in it's
grid. The one that "doesnt" has multiple row tags. Would this point to a grid
problem?

*** Bug 74014 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 37•24 years ago
|
||
please look at bug 74014 (just marked dupe) - it has more test cases which might
assist in fixing this bug.
Comment 38•24 years ago
|

Looks like I made the same discovery on 4-1 in bug 74014 that andreww made here
on 2-22. Namely that things work fine for a single row but not for more than
one row. See my detailed comment of 2001-04-01 11:18 in bug 74014.
The difference between the test case that I posted in 74014 and the one that
andreww posted here is that mine is a self-contained set of four xul files
independent of our chrome. Andreww's was a modification of files in the chrome
used by form manager. Other than that, the test is identical.
Also I made the observation in bug 74014 that the problem goes away if you do
either of two things:
1 - Reduce the number of rows to one (as already mentioned here)
2 - Remove the "editable" attribute from the menulist
Neither of these are acceptable work-arounds for the problem of course. But I
repeat them here in case they give any clues to the underlying cause of the
problem. In particular, the "editible" attribute.
Furthermore, this bug (as well as 74014) are marked as platform:all. In my
observations (as noted in bug 74014), this works fine on windows but not on
linux (I did not test mac).
Comment 39•24 years ago

It's "all" because there is no way to say "mac and linux but not windows". I see
this problem on mac (both / all skins)

I am still seeing this on Mac build 2001050104, in both classic and the new
modern theme, on linux build 2001050108, if you click anything other than name,
no text fields will show (No windows builds today) So, form manager still
unusable

Okay, I can repro on Linux today, although all fields appear on resize. Due to
our excess bugload, I think that workaround is going to have to be enough for
our beta testers. ->0.9.2

this is now present on windows commercial build 2001-06-08-06-trunk
and the viewer has become worse on all platforms; even the Name fields are
unviewable now. Still not a blocker because using prefill form will bring a
viewer that does show all prefilled fields.

Note that bringing up the wallet viewer now gives a JS error:

This is an old bug that was fixed. The symptoms and the cause are different
from what is now being observed. Bug 85300 is the correct report for the new
symptoms. I'm going to undup these two reports and keep this one closed out as
fixed.
