Details

(Keywords: crash, Whiteboard: [PDT+])

When I get get email targetted at several folks, I only see the first 3 or so.
When I click on the "down triangle" to expand the list, the navigator begins
progress towards a crash (it doesn't crash instantly... but I get garbage
dialogs... and soon get locked up).

When I try to reply to a message, only the visible set of targetts appear in the
composed message, and hence I can't reply to the whole list.  I'm guessing these
bugs are related, and so I'm putting them together.  IF they are separate,
please file another bug for the reply-all problem.

Summary: [dogfood] Can't see list of addressees, or respond to all → [dogfood] sometimes you crash when expanding address view in msg pane
Reply / Reply All has no relation towards what recipients we are showing in the
message pane. Jean-Francois already has a bug to track the fact that they aren't
showing up in the compose window so let's leave his bug alone.

Jar, I'm going to change your summary to say you crash when expanding the
collapsed address view in the message pane by clicking the down triangle. I'm
not crashing when I do this, but I will investigate. Do you still feel just this
portion of the bug is a dogfood bug?
Mark works for me if it turns out not to be reproduceable. I for one would not 
trust the bug reporter. :)
Whiteboard: [PDT+]
I'm trying it in NT now (rather than 98), and seeing "strange" stuff...  but no
crash yet.
When I get a message with a lot of folks on the To and on the CC line, I found
that I can expand and contract the To line as many times as I wish. In contrast,
I can expand and contract the CC line exactly once, and then it refuses to
expand (as though there is no expansion). When I then select another message,
than new message *starts* in expanded mode (getting state from the previously
stuck message maybe??), but quickly gets into the "I won't do any more
expansion" state after a single contraction.

My guess is that this code is not completely right... and in the proper
circumstances (Win 98??) I'll get a crash.... please don't shut this down yet,
as I'm sure there is something lurking here (and having crashed a few times over
the past few days... I'm betting it will be interesting)
Jar, the problem you are talking about with regards to expanding and then
collapsing the cc line and then not being able to expand it again is a known
problem I just haven't gotten around to fixing. I didn't think it was an M13 bug.

However trying to expand it again certainly shouldn't crash. And if this is
generating a crash on Win98 (it doesn't on win NT) then this sheds more
importance to this bug IMHO.

I have been negligent in filing a bug about the expand/collapse problem yet. I'd
like to use this bug to track it and mark it as M14 pending more info from jar
about whether it causes a crash on win95 or not.

Target Milestone: M14
Adding "crash" keyword to all known open crasher bugs.
Keywords: crash
Beta1 stopper as reported.
Keywords: beta1
This bug and Bug #24721 are the same. Although in this report Jar, documents
that he crashes on Win98. The other bug doesn't mention that. I'll add a note to
that bug.

This bug is PDT+ and beta1, the other bug isn't. However, the explanation of the
problem in the other bug is better. So I'm going to transfer the PDT+/beta1
stuff to Bug #24721 and re-assign it to Eric Vaughan who owns the problem.

Jar, hopefully I'm not doing anything illegal by transferring the PDT status for
the bug but it is the same problem.
