Character set submenus do not appear

[Edward Cherlin]

Binary package hint: firefox

Ubuntu Natty Narwhal 11.04
Unity 2D
Firefox 4.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.11.04.2

When I click on View-->Character Sets, most of the submenus fail to appear, including Autodetect, each of the regional submenus under More, and Unicode. The result is that I cannot select any character set to view the page in. This makes it harder to diagnose pages with improper coding.

Edward,

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

We would like to close this bug report as it refers to old versions of Ubuntu and <XXXXXX> but before we do we are asking do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported?

If we do not hear from you the bug report will close itself in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.

The Text Encoding submenu is in the View menu, but it does not open in Firefox 61.0.1 in Ubuntu 18.04.

[Paul White (paulw2u)]

The View | Text Encoding menu is disabled rather than hidden. That's a design decision.
