hopefully 3.3.2 will make into debian/unstable soon... :-) btw and p.s. how can it be possible that Lars Knoll still does *not* have cvs write access to the mozilla codebase????? https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=265484 Are mozilla not interested in participation of KDE?

> Are mozilla not interested in participation of KDE? The Mozilla developers have some rules that you must have attached patches which get applied to reports before you get a CVS account - even if you're the co-author of imported code (only the co-author who comes first gets an account immediately). Believe it or not. Additionally Lars was until today busy with Qt 4 Beta.

I think we can all support the idea of him working on Qt 4. :)

Believe it or not. Ok, thanks for the info. So it can only get better :-)

Really fixed ?! - Joe Random User - 2004-12-21

Can anybody explain why bug #94164 is still open/unconfirmed and the latest comment is far away from confirming that the issue is resolved?

Re: Really fixed ?! - Carlo - 2004-12-21

Comment #4 is void, if you have the fix for the recent Konqueror Window Injection Vulnerability applied. It's just an (minor) issue, that the popup dialog in the mentioned test gets closed unexpectedly.
