User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030508

While browsing, I selected edit bookmarks.  My last bookmark was for fftw.  I
clicked on 
it, then tried to "cut" using the right mouse button, but only "copy" was
available (cut was
grayed out).  I then tried moving it manually, and could do so.  Next, I
selected right mouse,
move bookmark, then selected the destination.  Mozilla crashed and all windows
closed.

System:  Laptop, RedHat 8, Mozilla 1.4b 

Note, I have had other mozilla crashes when trying to edit my bookmark file.

Bookmark file is 89K with multiple folders.

The bookmark for FFTW had a red W icon in the bookmark folder.  It is the 
only one with an icon.  A subsequent bookmark of FFTW's page did not 
create a bookmark with a graphical icon.

Wade, if possible, please attach a stack trace.

or a talkback ID

Comment 4

[wade.hampton]

The browser just closed.  Does it keep a stack trace or core
anywhere?  Does it keep a talkback ID?  I found neither
by looking in my ~/.mozilla directory.  Thanks

Similar Windows bug: bug 207940.

are you using an RPM build or a .tar.gz build?  RPM doesn't include talkback,
but you can get a decent stacktrace from gdb.  Some of the installer (.tar.gz)
build are also missing talkback).  To get a talkback enabled build, you can grab
one of these:

1.4 branch:
http://download.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/2003-05-30-07-1.4/mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-sea.tar.gz
or for a trunk build (1.5a):
http://download.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/2003-06-01-22-trunk/mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-sea.tar.gz

you might also try running from a terminal and see if it prints any messages
before crashing.

Old version, no response from reporter. No stack trace/TB. Resolving as WFM.
