From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.4+) Gecko/20011001 BuildID: 2001100108 In the news browser, double-clicking "Subscribe to newsgroups" brings up a Subscribe dialog box which is unable to contact the news server -- the Refresh button does nothing, and if the account was newly created, the server is not automatically contacted to retrieve the initial newsgroup list. Single-clicking works, however. So there must be a race condition where two rapid clicks hits a bug. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Tasks->Mail & Newsgroups 2.(If no news accounts exist, use Create Account) 3.Click on a valid new server ("account") in the left column. 4.Rapidly double-click "Subscribe to Newsgroups" Actual Results: good: One Subscribe dialog popped up. bad: If the account was newly created, the news server was not contacted to get the initial newsgroup list. bad: Clicking on Refresh did nothing. Expected Results: If the account was newly created, then the server should be contacted automatically to get the initial newsgroup list when the Subscribe dialog is first entered. Thereafter, Refresh should contact the server to update the newsgroup list. (this is how it works if you single-click on "Subscribe to newsgroups") I used tcpdump to confirm that mozilla did not contact the news server when the bug happened. P.S. Initially I though Mozilla news was just completely broken, because I was double-clicking by habbit from using another news reader. But once in a while it seemed to work, and eventually I realized that double-clicking was causing the incorrect behavior.

I can't so far reproduce this...Jim, do you see this everytime?
Every time. Just tried it on 2001111109. Got run-mozilla.sh: line 72: <PID> Segmentation fault Just before mozilla crashes an empty window pops up with "Subscribe" in the window-manager title bar. I see this when double-clicking on "Subscribe to Newsgroups" in the main (right hand) part of the Mail/News window.
I don't see this on build 2001-11-09-21 running RedHat 7.2 with Ximian Gnome (all updates to Gnome). Can you get a talkback-enabled tar.gz and when it crashes, send the incident and report back in this bug the ID #? Thanks!
I can't (or don't know how to) get talkback to do anything... So I used gdb to attach to a running mozilla-bin process before provoking the segfault, and got stack traces of all the threads. It looks like the segfault happens in NSGetModule, which seems to call itself a large number of times (maybe there are intermediate functions which are inlined or otherwise not visible to gdb). The traces are long, so I'll attach them in a separate file.
Here are the stack traces taken with gdb. I first ran mozilla -news normally. Then in another xterm, used ps to find the pid of the first mozilla-bin process (which always seems to be the pid which gets the segfault). Then ran gdb .../mozilla-bin pid Then double-clicked on the Subscribe To Newsgroups link, and after gdb stopped with the segv message, I did threads apply all bt to get traces of all threads. See thread 1024
Hrm, you're crashing in widget code. Can you provide details of your machine config? Thanks! Also, any luck with a talkback build yet?
I'm running SuSE 7.2 with ximian gnome 1.4 installed on top. But the double-click problem seems to have gone away in recent builds (e.g. 2001112108). Sigh. So I don't mind if you resolve this as WFM.
Okay, thanks. Will re-open if we see this again.
