Comment 1 Rich Burridge 2007-03-28 17:37:11 UTC

Confirmed with Thunderbird build from trunk this morning.
I've filed Mozilla bug #375698 on this.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=375698

Thanks for reporting it.

Comment 2 Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2007-05-24 18:04:17 UTC

Back in late March, early April Thunderbird was remarkably unstable and I used to see this issue.  While plenty of Thunderbird issues still exist, this does not seem to be one of them. :-)  Hermann and Rich, can you still reproduce this?

Comment 3 Rich Burridge 2007-05-24 18:13:28 UTC

Tried it on 15th May. Yes, I can still reproduce it.

Comment 4 Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2007-05-24 18:44:11 UTC

Drat! :-(  Since I cannot reproduce it, could you please do me a super big favor and enable talkback, crash thunderbird, and get me the tb number so that I can add the contents from it to the existing mozilla bug?  That usually gets their attention faster than gdb output.  Dunno why....

Thanks much in advance!

Comment 5 Rich Burridge 2007-05-24 20:23:39 UTC

It gives me a nice option to attach to the debugger, so I did that.

Here's the stack trace for just clicking on a mail message in the message
header list. Note that this is without Orca running but with accessibility
enabled. This is on my Ubuntu Feisty 32 bit system with Thunderbird 3.0alpha
built from a checkout from 14th May.

I'll now try starting Orca first and see if I can actually reproduce the original bug submitted.

Comment 6 Rich Burridge 2007-05-24 20:27:52 UTC

Nope. I get the same crash even with Orca running. I'm unable to get
to the point where I can try to reproduce the steps in the initial
description.

Comment 7 Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2007-05-25 00:56:20 UTC

Hmmm.... I didn't build Thunderbird.  I just grab the latest nightly's.  I wonder if that makes a difference....

Comment 8 Rich Burridge 2007-05-25 03:14:35 UTC

Last time I looked I didn't see a Thunderbird nightly. Where
should I be looking? I'll try that tomorrow.

Comment 9 Joanmarie Diggs (IRC: joanie) 2007-05-25 03:57:42 UTC

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/latest-trunk

If you just look in nightly, you can find two or three month's worth.

Thanks for doing this!!

Comment 10 Rich Burridge 2007-05-25 13:57:28 UTC

Using the thunderbird 3.0a1 nightly build from 25th May, I cannot
reproduce this problem anymore. Closing as FIXED. I've closed
the Mozilla bug too. Thanks Joanie.
