EasyList (USA)'s Filter (updated a few minutes ago):

Addresses: ##*[class*="bannerAd"]
##*[id$="AdArea"]
Filters: ##*[id$="AdArea"]
##*[id$="AdArea"]

Used SeaMonkey v1.1.16 in an updated Windows XP Pro. SP3. Thank you in advance.

This seems to a SeaMonkey (Gecko 1.8?) problem: Element Hiding rules seem to be not case-sensitive:

##*[id$="AdArea"] (note the upper case "A")
hides the div id=downloadArea (lower case "a")

So I suggest you just disable the filter yourself.

I haven't tested it, but I guess switching to SeaMonkey 2 would fix it too.

Yes, disabling this will work. Hence how I discovered the filter causing the problem. Is there a way to add a custom filter (in my custom list) to ignore this line since I keep your filters updated every five days or less?

I won't be using SeaMonkey v2 until it is stable. It is only in alpha. Doesn't Firefox v2 have this problem too since it is based on Gecko v1.8?

Once disabled, it stays disabled until I change the filter.

Seamonkey 2.0b1 will be out soon. Stable enough?

I didn't test it but I do think so. However, according to https://addons.mozilla.org/statistics/addon/1865 only ~5% of all Adblock Plus users still use it, and the next Adblock Plus version will drop Gecko 1.8.0 support anyway, so I'm not going to bother with them.

Edit: Should be Gecko 1.8.1

2.0b1 is still beta (prerelease). I mean final and stable.

As for dropping support Gecko v1.8.0, does that mean dropping SeaMonkey even though it hasn't been released as a final version? When is the next release of ABP?

You will have to ask Wladimir. I would say not before Firefox 3.5 comes out.
