  1. In Chat, when you hover text in the window it shows on the status bar:
  2.  
  3. [date time] [email protected]/
  4.  
  5. When you hover a URL or nick, it shows that information on the status bar.
  6.  
  7. At some point fairly recently, the former status bar information, [date time], stopped displaying.
  8. The latter status bar information continues to display.
  9.  
  10. This occurs in my primary SeaMonkey 2.0 Profile, circa 9/24/2009, & I'm now running the current Trunk in that Profile.
  11.

  14. In a new Profile, I do not have the same issue.
  15.  
  16. ---
  17.  
  18. In diagnosing, I create a new empty Profile, & only copy over my existing /chatzilla/ directory.
  19. Open new Profile, cZ working as expected.
  20. Exit & I see a newly created /chatzilla.org/ directory (in the Profile).
  21.  
  22. No clue on that, & have not been able to duplicate.
  23.  
  24. ---
  25.  
  26. Further diagnosing turns to extension conflict.
  27. Start copying extensions over 1 at a time, & testing.
  28. cZ works, works, works, works ... broken.
  29.  
  30. Look to see what extension it is that broke it, & it is Chatzilla !?
  31.  
  32. Now how does cZ break cZ when if I just copied it over, how was it even running before?
  33.

  35.  
  36. SeaMonkey 2.x install, installs cZ into SeaMonkey installation directory.
  37. (Where does SeaMonkey 1.x install cZ into? Thinking must also be installation directory? In
  38. SeaMonkey 1, there was no concept of a Profile based /extensions/ directory.)
  39.

  41.  
  42. At some point, quite a while back, I must have been running cZ 0985, notified of an update
  43. & rather then update directly, I downloaded /chatzilla-0.9.86-mz+fx+sm.xpi/. When I
  44. installed same, it must have (& I can confirm that it did) install into my /Profile/
  45. directory. That was around the end of 12/2009.
  46.  
  47. ---
  48.  
  49. Seemingly, since that time, I have had two cZ's, seemingly not causing any problem, until
  50. recently, with the disappears of [date time] information display on the statusbar.
  51.  
  52. One cZ in SeaMonkey's installation/extensions directory. One in my Profile/extensions
  53. directory.
  54.  
  55. ---
  56.  
  57. Would seem that for SeaMonkey, a downloaded cZ .xpi, should ... not sure? Only
  58. install globally, into the SeaMonkey installation directory? Or should check to see
  59. if there is an existing version there, & if so, then only install there. If not existing,
  60. suppose a Profile install could be OK. But then what happens if you download & install
  61. a new SeaMonkey & this time do choose to install cZ. (I'm assuming cZ is de-selectable
  62. during a custom install.) Then the installer needs to check - for existing Profiles, &
  63. instances of cZ there, & figure what to do with that? ...
  64.  
  65. ---
  66.  
  67. cZ is treated differently (which I /realized/ today) & is different then Mail/News,
  68. Composer, in that it is an extension & can be added/removed through about:addons. (& is
  69. disabled in -safe-mode too, heh).
