133424 - Crash when attempting to drag selected msg headers when using X-windows

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Mabry Tyson]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020313
BuildID:    2002031312

Running under Sun's CDE (or Openwin) window manager on a Solaris 2.6 or 2.8
system, I ssh'ed to a Linux RedHat 7.2 box and executed the mozilla binary with
the display going to my screen.

Not too surprisingly, when I start Mozilla, it reports:
(QFA)Talkback error: Can't initialize.

In mail, I highlighted message headers in my INBOX and attempted to drag them to
a folder.  As soon as I clicked and held to drag them, Mozilla crashed.

The shell showed this error message:
Gdk-ERROR **: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  serial 138761 error_code 8 request_code 2 minor_code 0

The serial changed on different instances of the error, but the rest stayed the
same.

I'm leaving Severity as Normal as normally one doesn't run Mozilla across
platforms via X windows.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log into Solaris 2.8 (CDE), open a terminal, ssh to Linux RH 7.2 system
2. Start up Mozilla on the shell on Linux
3. Start Mozilla Mail, select INBOX, highlight a message and try to drag it to a
folder

Actual Results:  Mozilla crashes with
Gdk-ERROR **: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  serial 18332 error_code 8 request_code 2 minor_code 0


Expected Results:  Mail message should get moved to the folder

Drag and drops of mail messages works for me running on Mozilla 9.9 on a Debian
Linux box, and displaying on Sparc Solaris 7 box running Windowmaker. 

Reporter: does mozilla dump a core when it crashes?  Could you get a backtrace
and attach it here?  (Run mozilla -g, and then type backtrace into the gdb
window anfter the crash).

Marking works for me, due to no response from reporter..

Feel free to re-open with more info if the problem still exists.
