Tested on 6.1b build using WinMe-Ja. Steps: 1) Start browser (English or Japanese version). 2) Download and install a new region pack if none but the defaults are available. 3) Select the new region pack in View>Language/Region. 4) Close and restart browser. The region changes, as can be seen by the Netscape page that opens when clicking on throbber, but the Sidebar is still set to the default region. ------- Additional Comments From jonrubin@netscape.com 2001-06-22 21:27:21 ---- Should the fix for Bugzilla 52930 fix this? ------- Additional Comments From rchen@netscape.com 2001-06-25 13:30:36 ---- Region pack issue. ------- Additional Comments From jonrubin@netscape.com 2001-06-25 16:13:39 ---- cc nhotta ------- Additional Comments From jonrubin@netscape.com 2001-06-25 17:54:45 ---- Andreas, if no one objects, can you move this to Bugzilla?

Jon, did you get a chance to try this?
This seems to be a dup of 87938. -> rchen

Oops, after taking a close look. It's a different problem. This is by design: sidebar panels and bookmarks will not change when you switch the region via "View" or "Prefs" dialog. The rationale is that they are profile-bound setting and should not be altered once they are copied into the user's profile directory during creation. ->INVALID

Jaime, we probably need to document (in release notes?) that sidebar panels and bookmarks will not be changed when switching region, if this isn't already documented.
Jaime, do you know if this is already documented?
Yes, this is documented in Tao's spec, but we should mark relnote, so that rudman's tema picks this up. Adding lbaliman, as she reviews the release notes for GCT PMs.
Jaime, do you mean that this should be reopened and reassigned until the release notes are reviewed?
Removing lbaliman from cc-list. Not tasked with reviewing release notes.
Adding keyword relnote and relnoteRTM for now, please clean up keywords if you feel that this doesn't need to be in the release notes.
