Overview
This lab is designed to give you first-hand experience working through a real bug, from confirming to fixing to submitting a patch. You will also get experience building and working with Thunderbird, which shares much of the same code with Firefox.
Instructions
A friend has told you about something they don't like in Mozilla Thunderbird. "I got an email today, and it made a hyperlink out of some text that shouldn't have been underlined."
Here is the text of the email:
Does Wednesday aft. work for you? I'll tentatively schedule for 3:30 on Wednesday. We'll come to S@Y...where should we meet?
which is being displayed as follows in Thunderbird:
Does Wednesday aft. work for you? I'll tentatively schedule 3:30 on Wednesday. We'll come to S@Y...where should we meet?
Resources
- Creating a patch for Mozilla
- Instructions for getting a patch checked into the tree
- There are many tutorials on using diff/patch, for example this one.
