Do you miss the list or the button? There should be a thicker line at the right which will show the list when clicked. gtk3 problem. Theme and distribution dependent.

If it is this one will be fixed in 2.49.2 We just wait for Firefox ESR52 52.6 now to make sure we get the latest security fixes and then start building.

Since installing SM 2.49.1 on my MageiaLinux ver 6 with KDE desktop environment I'm missing the drop-down URL bar list. In my Win7 SM 2.49.1, I'm sure I do have it. I cannot say I've ever had this problem before.

Is this some setting that I have to set in SM or in the KDE desktop or in Mageia Linux.

TIA.

Frank-Rainer, I'm back on Win7 SM 2.49.1 a.t.t. and in the URL line on the browser screen, at the very right hand side, I see a "ribbon'y" thing which offers me the possibility of bookmarking the URL and then a down-ward pointing arrowhead which, when I click on it, gives me the "drop-down" list of web addresses.

It is this second function, the arrowhead to display the "drop-down" list, that I'm missing on my Linux SM 2.49.1.

  ... and it just occurred to me, as I scrolled through the posts in one of my UseNet news groups on Win7, in my Linux SM, on the Mail & News screen, I have the scroll-bars, but there are no "up" arrowheads or "down" arrowheads at either end, so I *have* to drag the scroll bar to where I want it. Not an easy task in some groups.

So, in the Browser URL bar, I'm missing the "down" arrowhead and, on the M & N screen, I'm missing the "up" and "down" arrowheads.

Could it be that the font I'm using on Linux doesn't have arrowhead symbols/characters?? Must check what font I'm using.


No, your problem with missing arrowheads has to do with your gtk theme. You can try other themes to see if you have one that includes "steppers" or you can use an override file to add them like I did. Create a file in your home directory as follows:

~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css

containing the following:

*{
-GtkScrollbar-has-backward-stepper: 1;
-GtkScrollbar-has-forward-stepper: 1;
-GtkRange-slider-width: 13;
-GtkRange-stepper-size: 13;
}

The above will add steppers to your scroll bars as you and I prefer.

When I booted the Laptop today (about 10 mins ago), I went looking for the mount point you mentioned, David. Even tried as SU, looking under my SM installation and in the root directory, but no go!!

Do I need to create the mount point (as SU??), if so where, or was I looking in all the wrong places??

You should already have the .config directory at a minimum under your HOME directory.  That is what the ~/ refers to.  If working from the linux terminal window you will normally be there when the window is freshly opened and if you have the typical prompt will see " ~ $ " at the end of the input line indicating you are in your home directory. If your prompt does not show a ~ before the $ you can get there by entering cd with no argument.  The .config directory is typically hidden, but you can still enter it with the cd command. From anywhere you should get there with "cd ~/.config" as a command.

I am using linux mint 18.3 x64 cinnamon here and the gtk-3.0 sub-directory already existed for me with a file bookmarks in it used by the cinnamon desktop.  I had to create the gtk.css file in that directory with the content I showed.

If for whatever environment you are running there is no gtk-3.0 sub-directory you should be able to create it and then create the gtk.css file in it.  You might need to restart SeaMonkey to get the steppers to display after creating the override file.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for this explanation, David. It allowed me to find that, on my Mageia 6.0 with KDE Plasma DE, I also have the gtk-3.0 sub-directory already with a file "bookmarks" in it so same as you.

Now I'm off to 'man' to find out about making a gtk.css file in a directory that is hidden from me!! Can I do it just using KWrite and then save it to a hidden directory??

And, as a by-the-by, as I was posting last night, I was thinking that part of my problem was that when I installed SM 2.49.1, I installed it as SU ... so any changes I make to the looks of SM might be re-set when next I start SM. :-(

Your addition to the gtk-3.0 directory should stick though .... shouldn't they??

That hidden directory is owned by you, so no problems writing in it. It is hidden simply to keep those who may not know what they are doing from messing up their systems.  You should be able to use KWrite, I used the editor built into file commander myself.

I am not sure what problems you might have as a consequence of installing SM as SU, but it might result in a profile that cannot be changed when you are not SU.  If you encounter problems I suspect they can be fixed by completely uninstalling SM and reinstalling as a normal user.  I would check first where the profile is and who the owner is. If it is owned by root and you have problems you may have to remove it as SU when doing a reinstall.

Dave

Again, thank you very much, David. :-)

Finally got around to creating the css file, David. *VICTORY* !! I've got my scroll arrowheads back on my Linux SeaMonkey install! ;-)

Still no Browser URL Drop-down list, though! ;-(
