Can you try a clean profile and/or a clean Mozilla install?  It looks like
something is very messed up.

I got the same error when trying to change the default font to monospace and
when changing it back. It changed the font but displayed the error, too. I will
try uninstalling and reinstalling as suggested.

Confirming based on the number of reports of this in #chatzilla.

Could anyone who's seeing this error (or a similar exception for other sync-
commands) please list the following information:

  Exact browser version, from the about box.
  Complete list of installed extensions and versions.

Thanks.

--> All: All
--> Minor, since it doesn't (as far as I know) prevent the change working, it
just throws the error as well as changing it.

Mozilla version: Mozilla 1.7.3
Extensions: Web Developer 0.8
Chatzilla version:  0.9.66e [Mozilla rv:1.7.3/20040910]
(Can still change the fonts despite the error msg)

change Motifs to file:///path/to/css
(downloaded from http://www.hacksrus.com/~ginda/chatzilla/motifs/)

same error occurs on ff1.0(release-jaJP) + cz ext(both 0.66,66e)
not occur on private build of mozilla 1.8alpha

[Thib]

Same with:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Chatzilla 0.9.67 [Firefox 1.0/20041107]

There is no error unless I specifically change the motif or the font or
something; but meanwhile, virtually everything is displayed in its simplest
quasi-plaintext expression.

Thanks very much to dmb in #chatzilla for finding out the trigger for this!

Attachment: Patch v1

Patch based on what Silver told me about this bug. The problem seemed to be
that client.messages, client.messageCount and client.frame don't get removed.
Now we just call delete-view, which seems to work fine.
