Impediments to Daily Use of 1.8branch/Trunk

The 1.8 Branch and the Trunk are for the most part stable enough, and not broken, for daily use by developers, QA, and forum-dwellers alike.

However, there are a large number of bugs and regressions that are considered major annoyances and stop these groups from actively using such builds (most are Camino-only, and most are on both branch and trunk; those that aren’t are annotated appropriately below). This list tracks these major “dogfood-ish” issues.

Dogfood-ish bugs poll

• Bug 333531 - Pop-up blocker is annoying/invasive
• Bug 274143 - Pseudo-Single-window mode inoperative (no true SWM, either)
• Bug 325296 - Opacity broken (trunk-only; Core)
• Bug 313811 - Background tabs flash before display (trunk-only; simple backout needed to mirror branch)
• Bug 333765 - Opening a bookmark in a new tab no longer works when pushing Command after opening a bookmark folder, only before
• Bug 185436 - Software update for Camino ("nightly" channel is dogfood)

• Bug 336012 - [10.4] Copy/paste from Browser to Terminal results in gibberish text (Core; currently trunk-only, but bug that caused it might land on 1.8.1 yet)

Build usage distribution

What Camino build do you use in your daily browsing?

• Official trunk nightlies (Camino 1.2+)
• 3rd-party optimized trunk nightlies
• Official 1.8 branch nightlies (Camino 1.0+; nightly link from cb.o)
• 3rd-party optimized 1.8 branch nightlies
• Camino 1.0.1/Camino 1.0.1 Multilingual
• 3rd-party optimized Camino 1.0.1

(Talkback is non-existant for anything but Camino 1.0...in addition to seeing how many people are on branch/trunk, we'll see if anyone is using official builds with Talkback)
