When running Mozilla and going to http://www.google.co.uk or http://news.bbc.co.uk, there is a requirement to send data by clicking on a button on the webpage. The mouse cursor changes when moving to the button (for news.bbc.co.uk), or the button moves (for www.google.co.uk), but nothing happens (no data is submitted). Everything else seems to be working fine in Mozilla - though slightly hard to prove as things are a bit limited without being able to accept button input. I have 4 machines now running Gentoo - built from different stages, and this is the only one I'm seeing with this problem. The problem only came about after an emerge -u gnome; USE="gtk2" emerge -u mozilla; emerge -u gnome Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -u gnome 2. USE="gtk2" emerge -u mozilla 3. emerge -u gnome Actual Results: Discovered the problem I'm now having with Mozilla outlined above. Epiphany seems to work perfectly. Expected Results: Buttons on webpages in Mozilla should have sent data to website.

could you try removing your old .mozilla directory?
Okay, deleted the .mozilla directories under both /root and /home/<my username> directories and this didn't make any difference. I had also previously tried creating a new user account too, just to make sure nothing was left hanging around that could mess things up in the old accounts, and still got the same problem. Just one thing to add to this. I unmerged Galeon as this is no longer used in Gnome 2.4 and noticed the following comment, even though the unmerge appeared to be successful: !!! Invalid db entry: /var/db/pkg/net-www/galeon-1.2.11.portage_lockfile
Hey guys-- I have Mozilla doing the same thing... I upgraded ORBit2 (last thing I can logically place) maybe it broke Mozilla
Okay, I've now got a work-around for this, though it's not a fix as such - but it got rid of the problem for me. emerge sync (I did the sync on 20/10/03) emerge -u system emerge -u xfree emerge -u gnome emerge -u world emerge mozilla export USE="gtk2"; emerge mozilla emerge epiphany It's a bit long-winded, and I know the first 4 emerges can all be done with a simple emerge -u world, but I've had things done in the wrong order before (and the system broke as a result), so I always take the precaution of forcing the update order now.
Can't imagine what was causing this, but unfortunately need to close this old bug since we're not getting anywhere. Feel free to re-open if you figure out how to reproduce on current moz versions. Sorry we can't be more helpful. :-(
