if I have only a composer window (or no windows at all), and choose "Open Web Location" I can enter a URL and click open but nothing happens. It is trying to open the url in the "current navigator window" but there isn't a browser window so nothing happens. expectation: I think that the option of "current navigator window" should be disabled unless there is an existing navigator window.

note: it actually *is* disabled but it's still the current option (checked in the popup)

This is really a dup of bug 84011. The logic that will fix that will prevent a disabled item from being selected. Because that's not fixed, we have to manually set the selected item to the first one. So we could either wait for that one to get fixed, or, if this is really critical, we could manually write logic for this dialog. I'd hate to do that, because then we really should be doing it everywhere else, and that's a fair amount of extra code that shouldn't be dialog-specific.

Blake--which is this a duplicate of? This is bug 84011. ;-)

interesting --i can repro this on mac and winnt [2001.06.04.xx comm trunk], but oddly i cannot on linux [2001.06.04.08 comm trunk], where the "current navigator window" list item is both greyed out and not selectable.

Oops, sorry, I meant bug 62185. Pushing this out for now.

just to clarify (mostly a reminder to self): the New Navigator Window and New Composer Windows options do work. [tested 2001.07.10.03-branch comm, mac.]

Blake, will that fix cause "Current Navigator Window" to actually appear disabled as well? (It doesn't, now.)

I don't think I'd say this bug is a duplicate of bug 62185, but I would suggest that this particular problem does depend on that bug. Would you agree, Blake?

nsbeta1+ per Nav triage team. Should disable 'curren't default, and select 'New nav window" as default for this case.

Command-N (Open New Window) doesn't work in that case either.

FWIW, I hear confusion from new users frequently on this one.

There are several problems here: 1. Your "open in:" selection in the "Open Web Location" dialog is remembered between products. 2. Because of (1), Ctrl+Shift+L in Composer selects "existing navigator window" rather than "new composer window" by default. If you don't read everything in the dialog, File -> Open Web Location in Composer will not do what you expect. 3. "Existing navigator window" can always be the default option even though it is disabled when no browser windows are open. 4. If "Existing navigator window" is selected but there aren't any navigator windows open, clicking the "Open" button should act as if you had selected "New navigator window". Fixing (3) might not fix this automatically, because you could close navigator windows while the dialog is visible. The root cause of all of these problems is: 5. The browser's "Open Web Location" dialog has a "new composer window" option, and Composer's "Open Web Location" dialog has several browser-window options. I suggest just fixing (5). Or getting rid of the "Open Web Location" dialog in the browser, like Phoenix did.

Bug also occurs in SeaMonkey trunk on Linux. Running "seamonkey -editor" with a fresh profile, the default value is "Existing Navigator window" even though it's greyed out if you look in the combobox dropdown menu.
