Thanks to all the developers for the new SeaMonkey 2.8 release. Runs

Have you encountered this happening? I have -
SM 2.8 Mac is not returning to Open when Minimized to the Dock and a new
link or file is opened. I was asked to submit a new bug - #735946.
My remaining 2.7.2 installations aren't doing this.
Well this may be an annoyance, but not a showstopper bug as there is a
very easy way to work around this bug by clicking on the SeaMonkey icon
in the Dock. Now if there was no easy way to work around this bug I
would call it a showstopper and be calling for an 2.8.1 release.
Agreed, and I wasn't holding it up as a reason for a 2.8.1 release -
just pointing out a bug. More of a quality control issue, IMO. I tend
to lump most interface breaks into that category.
BTW I hardly ever open click on a url link in the finder or on the
desktop let alone when SeaMonkey is minimized to the Dock, so I am very
unlikely to ever encounter this bug.
I open .html files from the Finder on nearly a daily basis - for
swapping sets of Bookmarks around, mostly. Between my own installs on
different machines and/or e-mail sharing. So Synch isn't what I want to
do except on *very* rare occasions. Animated .gifs from 3D artists
sources are something else I might open from the Finder into SM.
But that's not really the problem here - the issue is the non-standard
OS X interface behavior...like when I minimize SM to go look at another
app window, end up checking my e-mail and click a link there...it's a
particular annoyance because I use Spaces and use Minimize to Dock
heavily. Space 1 is my default "working desktop" and I put other apps
elsewhere. Yeah - there's a work around...but it's not what a Mac user
would expect, nor in concert with previous SM behavior. So it's a bug
and should be reported. And has been.
Sure it would be nice to have an 2.8.1 release, but I would reserve such
a release for true showstoppers such as crashes, data losses, major
security threats, BUT NOT for bugs such as 735946 that have ab easily
implemented workaround.
I don't plan on holding my breath or to stop using SM until a 2.9
release, but this one should be an easy fix by code walk-through seeing
as it works correctly in 2.7.2. Might also just be a compile
error...dunno, guessing...
