Description Michael Kreitzer 2009-02-11 04:35:41 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package

attached is a test case

The test case defines a simple object that initializes itself with a single property. There are 3 functions that initialize a new instance. The object is called "Sidebar". When initializing a "Sidebar" instance and trying to store it in a variable called "sidebar" the initialization fails. The variable has the type "[object sidebar]" instead of "[object Object]", and the property is undefined. Using any other name for the variable (even "sideBar") works as expected.

I discovered this trying to debug the failure of the Pitchfork MPD Client and was able to reduce the problem to this simple test case. It should be noted that this is a regression. I upgraded straight from kde 3.5.9 to kde 4.2, and the client functions perfectly in 3.5.9.

Thanks,
Michael

OK, I'm even more confused now. It seems that the name of the object doesn't matter. All that seems to matter is the use of the variable name sidebar. Is this a reserved word?

It's a browser window object property (Mozilla extension). I should make it writeable, I guess.
Comment 4 Michael Kreitzer 2009-02-11 15:14:34 UTC 
If it's a mozilla extension then it should be noted that this test case produces the results I was expecting in firefox.
