Hello all,Since one year ago I have been observing some Seamonkey features/functions to stop working and no fixes being provided to them, as follows: 1- Empty message pane opens by itself after marking a message as junk in the messages list (Bug # 986874, opened on March 22, 2014 and still unresolved) 2- After clicking on the "Show remote content" button from a received e-mail message, and adding its sender to the "allowed" list, the yellow alert stripe pops-up again like as nothing had been done. 3- When selecting a newsgroup message to be opened in a new tab, it appears as a blank page. The reason for writing this is that in every release I always see new functions being added, but I think it would be nice to fix previously working (and now broken) functions also.
Standard disclaimer: (I'm very bad at PR, so I hope I don't make too much PR faux-pas.) The SeaMonkey project is made up of volunteer developers who volunteer some of their time for SeaMonkey development. We don't have a lot of developers and really would like more to help out, especially in coding. That said, SeaMonkey isn't a standalone project without any 'external' dependencies. It depends on the Gecko engine and the Mailnews code. Recent years have seen a lot of Gecko engine API changes and we're really doing our best to keep up (but right now, it's hard). When the Gecko API changes, SeaMonkey code needs changing. Sometimes it's an easy fix. Other times (most often the case), it requires time to figure out the fix. What's making matters worse is that our infrastructure is also having some difficulty keeping up with the changes in how the code is built. We really do appreciate everyone's patience. There's a lot of bugs (looking at the current bug list is quite overwhelming) and hopefully we can whittle it away one by one.
