Hi Dale, |
| 27 |
|

Glad I could be of some assistance. I had never tried Seamonkey before, |
| 29 |
so this has given me opportunity to try it out. It'd be great if |
| 30 |
Firefox plugins (or at least NoScript) worked within Seamonkey. I |
| 31 |
rather like the "full-featuredness" of this app. I'll have to research. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
In my opinion, it is difficult to imagine how what you've discovered |
| 34 |
could be a feature. Also, it seems strange that simply having a |
| 35 |
download history (even a large one) within Seamonkey's download manager |
| 36 |
causes such an issue. I believe the standard protocol in such |
| 37 |
situations is to install the seamonkey-bin to test whether or not the |
| 38 |
-bin exhibits the same behaviour. If it doesn't, then it is a bug that |
| 39 |
should be filed with Gentoo. If it does, then it is a bug that needs to |
| 40 |
be filed with Mozilla. If this is inaccurate, I request correction, me |
| 41 |
being a n00b and all. :) |

Nice to meet you Dale. Happy Gentoo'ing. |
