Thanks, bug?, suggestion

    First, much, much thanks to HJ for his return and Michael for 
reengaging.  I am one of those who has used Multizilla for some years 
now and who sticks with Seamonkey largely because of the value I derive 
from Multizilla.  It is a fantastic piece of software and a great value 
to all of uw who use it.

    Possible bug (using 1.8.3.5g although it appears in earlier 
nightlies): If you turn off (unclick) the "Close X Icon on Tab" option 
in Preference Manager | Tabs | Appearance (as I do), the X does not 
appear but clicking the icon in a tab does close the tab (a bit 
unsettling when not expected).

    Suggestion: In the Permission Manager | Cookies | Cookies window, if 
it is not too much trouble, it would be nice to have a button or 
clickbox that would allow us to open (or close) all the cookie sites.  
Occasionally one wants to scan through all the cookies and it is a bit 
frustrating to have to click each site name to reveal the cookies.

    I have used the Permission Manager for years and am pleased to see 
work being done on it.  Generally, I find that I have to experiment for 
some time before I can have a good sense of the impact of such things, 
so I don't have much feedback at the moment.  However, one minor point.  
In the Permissions tabs for various elements in the Permission Manager, 
I think that the name "Set Permission to only Accept content from this 
site" does not clearly convey what is happening (particularly in 
comparison to "Set Permission to Permit content from this site").  If I 
understand the former correctly, it must mean something like "Set 
Permission to Accept these objects directly from this domain but not 
indirectly from other domains" .... that is probably too long, but 
(assuming I understand) points toward a clearer statement. 
    In the example, I also switched "content" to "objects" for this 
reason... I think that the term "content" was used so that the hints 
could be the same for the icons across tabs, but as "content" is easily 
confused with the ... well, content of the page being viewed, it is easy 
to be misled by it for all the icons.  Something like "these objects" or 
simply "objects" might work better, or some other alternative term. 
    Similarly, I switched "site" to "domain", but I suspect that is 
wrong.  I guess the question is what is the range of the permission's 
application and how to convey that--this is particularly for the 
permission from the specific site only.  If the "site" listed is 
w.x.y.z/a/b, then does it mean objects that are in w.x.y.z/a/b or would 
it include y.z/a/b or w.x.y.z/c?  Perhaps this is just too picky about 
the wording, and perhaps the best way to handle it is through the help 
documentation.

    Again, much thanks for the great work.

Best regards ... Robert Jackson
