Bug 25706 – Mozilla Firebird 0.6.1 complains about libwidget_gtk2.so, doesn't take keyboard input in location bar well.

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Jon Chambers 2003-08-01 08:39:25 UTC]

Emerging mozilla-firebird-0.6.1 with +gtk2 causes Firebird to issue the following 
complaint when starting: 
 
nsNativeComponentLoader: GetFactory(libwidget_gtk.so) Load FAILED with 
error:/usr/lib/MozillaFirebird/components/libwidget_gtk.so: cannot open shared object 
file: No such file or directory  
 
Firebird then fails to start. 
 
Creating a symbolic link from /usr/lib/MozillaFirebird/components/libwidget_gtk2.so to 
[same]/libwidget_gtk.so at least allows Firebird to start.  Firebird handles keyboard 
input to its location bar erratically, though.  Straight text input works, but selection 
(shift-arrow, ctrl-shift-arrow) doesn't, and Firebird won't go to the entered URL when 
the enter key is pressed. 
 
Merging the same version of Firebird with -gtk2 eliminates the libwidget_gtk2.so 
problem, but the keyboard problem remains. 
 
In both cases, it is possible to open bookmarks and follow links with the mouse.  It is 
also possible to use type-ahead find within pages. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
For the libwidget_gtk2.so problem: 
 
1.  USE="gtk2" emerge mozilla-firebird-0.6.1 
2.  Start MozillaFirebird from the commandline 
3.  Link /usr/lib/MozillaFirebird/components/libwidget_gtk2.so to 
[same]/libwidget_gtk.so 
 
For keyboard input problem in both cases: 
 
1a.  Follow the above steps or 
1b.  USE="-gtk2" emerge mozilla-firebird-0.6.1 
2.  Enter some text in the location bar 
3.  Attempt to select text with shift-arrow or ctrl-shift-arrow; both should fail. 
4.  Press enter to follow the entered link.  Nothing should happen. 
Actual Results:  
See above. 

Expected Results:  
See above.
