click
Linux build 2001032908 No fields are shown other than name and if you click on
one of the other categories, it will not refresh with name
Windows build 2001032904 fields are updated appropriately

I didn't believe this bug report when I first read it so I just tried it for
myself. You are absolutely correct!!!
I assume that this is a recent regression. Do you know when this first started
occuring?

The following comment applies to linux.
Very strange behavior. I tried simplifying the panes on the right and
discovered that if a pane has only one <row> entry, then it displays when you
switch to it, and if it has more than one it displays blank as reported.
The "name" pane was put up initially (not switched to) so it displayed fine.
When you then switched to some other pane, all of which have more than one
<row>, it does not display. And you can not switch back to the "name" pane for
the same reason. If I simplify the panes to have exactly one <row>, I can
switch back and forth and it displays fine each time.

OK, after extensive investigation and simplification, I narrowed this down to a
problem with editable menulists on linux (and probably mac as well although I
haven't done any testing on mac). It works fine on win32.
It sounded at first like it might be related to bug 63616 except the symptoms
here are a bit different and, besides, that bug has already been fixed.
I've now got a simplified test case that is completely divorced from the
form-manager dialog. It consists of the following four small xul files which I
will attach to this bug report.
WalletViewer.xul
WalletTree.xul
WalletName.xul
WalletValue.xul
To demonstrate the problem, put all these files into the same directory on your
hard disk and then set the browser to WalletViewer.xul. It will display two
choices on the left side -- "Name" and "Value". Clicking on either one of them
should bring up an associated display on the right side. This works fine on
win32. On linux, the display for "Name" is coming up blank.
If I make either of the following changes, the problem is cleared up.
1. Remove the editable="true" attribute from the menulist tags in WalletName.xul
2. Remove one of the <row> tags in WalletName.xul.
Note that WalletName.xul has two <row> tags whereas WalletValue has only one (it
has a second which is commented out). Uncommenting the second <row> tag from
WalletValue will cause it to bring up a blank right-side display as well.
Adding "editable menulist problem" to the summary. Also assigning to andreww
since he's already familiar with this area having done the fix for bug 63616.

Correction. In my detailed comment above I referred to one of the files as
WalletValue.xul. My error -- I meant to say WalletAddress.xul.

I should mention that this problem is theme-independent. I get the same failure
on linux regardless of which theme I am using. Similarly it works fine on win32
for all themes. (Some previous problems reported with editable menulists were
theme-related.)

Lots of verifications.
If I had to test stuff, it was on Win2K, build id 2001052404.
