Subject: navigator lost (settings)

I "upgraded' navigator from vers 4.05 to vers 4.07 on a Linux 2.0.x
system.  The exact navigator i downloaded was:
navigator-v407-us.x86-unknown-linux2.0_libc5.tar.gz

I set the 'advanced' settings, turning off java, javascript,
stylesheets, autoinstall, and send-email-address-as-passwd.  I also set
'do not accept or send cookies'.

Then, while browsing i opened a new browser window by selecting "Navigator
Window" from the file menu and it looked as if javascript had started
working in the new window.

  [...]

Did you try hitting the "save options" line before opening the new
window?  Yes, I agree it should probably just be transparent in a single
session, but...
