Lost & Found

I started compiling lists of bugs that were checked into the trunk long before I started this blog. I even kept them around afterwards. Now in the light of the upcoming SeaMonkey 2 Alpha 1 the time has come to do some cleanup. Below are all bugs from my list of the early days of Mozilla 1.9 trunk (SeaMonkey trunk was called 1.5a back then) that have neither been fixed on the 1.8.1 branch (SeaMonkey 1.1.x) nor appeared on this blog until now.
