Tor not working properly with DisableNetwork

If to use Tor Browser while no internet connection and to exit browser before internet connection appears then Tor Launcher prevents Tor to connect to network for every next attempts even with internet connection. It's reliably reproducible by removing

user_pref("extensions.torlauncher.prompt_at_startup", false);

from prefs.js file.

It's Tor bug not Tor Launcher. If to launch Tor with DisableNetwork option and to change this config after start without changing anything else then Tor client doesn't connects but only opens socks listener.

Trac:
Summary: Tor Launcher fails if internet connection failed to Tor not working properly with DisableNetwork
Component: Tor Launcher to Tor
Version: N/A to Tor: 0.2.4.22

Bug is vanished, can't reproduce it anymore, unlikely related to DisableNetwork at all. NSA fixed my client probably.

Trac:
Status: new to closed
Resolution: N/A to invalid

NSA reverted everything back. Now it's broken again. Only way to bypass bug is to skip DisableNetwork on startup.

What OS/platform are you using? What version of Tor Browser are you using? Can you provide steps to reproduce the problem that you are seeing?

What OS/platform are you using? Win98

What version of Tor Browser are you using? 3.6.3

Can you provide steps to reproduce the problem that you are seeing?

1. Start freshly installed Tor Browser.
2. Wait till it download all need stuff, 5-10 minutes.
3. Probably restart
4. Wait again 5-10 minutes, repeat 2-4 steps but not more than 1 hour in sum.
5. Exit browser if you sure all stuff need for Tor was downloaded.
6. Remove user_pref("extensions.torlauncher.prompt_at_startup", false) from prefs.js, so Tor starts with DisableNetwork
7. Start browser and click connect button.

As it triggered by patch then it's not bug for Tor 0.2.4.x but Tor Browser since bug11200.patch applied.

Trac:
Version: Tor: 0.2.4.22 to N/A
Component: Tor to Tor Browser

Diagnosis: If Tor patched by bug11200.patch starts with DisableNetwork option then router_have_minimum_dir_info() return 0, it's ok but function caches reported value till some directory info changed. If Tor not scheduled to update consensus then nothing to download and no call of router_dir_info_changed() and need_to_update_have_min_dir_info == 0, so no circuits building as router_have_minimum_dir_info() reports incomplete directory information.
