Conflict with Dictionary Switcher

- **status**: open --> accepted

Okay, that's really strange. I have no idea what we are doing that could cause that but I'll look into it.

Closing and relaunching does not fix this for me.

Steps to reproduce:

##Meathod 1
 - Navigate to `chrome://autosizer/content/wizard.xul`.
 - Notice there is no text.

##Meathod 2
 - Navigate to `about:addons`
 - Find Searchbar Autosizer and click the preferences button.
 - Click "Assistant"
 - Notice there is no text.

You can get the expected behavior by disabling Dictionary Switcher and repeating either of the steps.

I haven't thoroughly looked at it, but when Dictionary Switcher is installed, SBA doesn't call asw.initSize() before asw.init() the first time the Wizard is launched.

Yes, here is the log:

    autosizer: asw.init() called.
    autosizer: asw.init() returned.

What's more, there are no error console errors. Seeing as printing "autosizer: asw.initSize() called." is the first line of `asw.initSize()` I would say that this is either a Mozilla or Dictionary Switcher bug as we just aren't getting called.

What the log looks like without DS installed:

    autosizer: asw.initSize() called.
    autosizer: asw.initSize() returned.
    autosizer: asw.init() called.
    autosizer: asw.init() returned.

Seeing as `asw.initSize()` is the first page of the wizard it is like we aren't opening to the proper page.

I think we need to try to isolate the mistake, quite likely by guess and check.

As a workaround disable Dictionary Switcher when you need to use the wizard. That appears to be the only thing affected.

Here is a quick log of things I am testing.

 - Comment out DS's browser.xul overlay in chrome.manifest.
     - The Wizard works.
 - Comment out contents of `<overlay>` in br_tbarpal.xul
     - Does nothing.
 - Comment out contents of `<overlay>` in browser.xul
     - Wizard works.
 - Comment out browser.js either in browser.xul or by commenting out the whole file.
     - Wizard works.
 - Commenting out window load listener in browser.js.
     - Wizard does not work.
 - Comment out the rest of browser.xul (not the script tag)
     - Wizard works.
 - Comment only `<menupopup> browser.xul
     - Wizard works.
 - Comment out contents of `<menupopup> browser.xul
     - Wizard works.
 - Comment out either (or both) of `<menuitem id="dictionary-switcher-as-i-type">` and `<menuitem id="dictionary-switcher-auto">`
     - Wizard works.
 - Comment out either (or both of) `dictionarySwitcher.toggleAsIType()` and `dictionarySwitcher.toggleAuto()`
     - Wizard does not work.
     - That is really strange.
 - Comment out the oncommand attribute of the mentioned menuitems.
     - Wizard does not work.
 - Remove either (or both) of the mentioned menuitems' id's.
     - Wizard works.
     - My brain is refusing to believe this.
 - Comment out all document.getElementById to the two menuitems.
     - Wizard does not work.

I'm totally confused and need to take a break. If **either** of the menuitems are there it works, so not one is causing the problem, it is the combination of both. I was thinking if they were indexing the children it could grab the wrong one or something but I can't find any reference to that. Hopefully the author has some insight.

Hello, I took another look a couple of times and still have no clue. Is this issue still present or has it magically disappeared?

This issue is still present (successfully reproduced with Firefox 24.0, Windows 7 SP1 - x86).

Still no error in the log, besides a "XUL box for a element contained an inline #text child, forcing all its children to be wrapped in a block" message, pertaining to prefs.xul.
