26806 - Restarting without exiting Mozilla first gives me error

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Henrik Gemal]

If you on a Win32 machine chooses Start->Restart without first quiting Mozilla 
you'll get an error saying:
"NSPR:EventReciever can shutdown"

Man, I have no idea who would own this.  Doesn't obviously fit any component 
either.  I hate to just pass this off blindly but maybe someone else will have 
a better guess.

Comment 2

Confirmed with 2000-02-17-08-M14 nightly binary on Windows NT, twice.
Each time a dialog came up saying "NSPR:EventReceiver cannot respond to a
shutdown request", and after clicking on [End Task], the same dialog appeared
twice more; after pressing the third [End Task] button, the shutdown continued.

A third time, the dialog said "mozilla.exe cannot respond to a shutdown request"
and again it reappeared twice before the rest of the shutdown procedure 
continued. 

It didn't matter whether the Windows exit was via Start>Shutdown>Restart... or
Start>Shut Down>Shut down... This will annoy anyone who does not regularly
close their browser before shutting down windows.

Most crash-on-exit bugs show up in "Browser-General"; moving this there
for better visibility to those who might have a clue.

I think is a big issue...
Users could be loosing data

[Christine Begle]

I just tried this on NT, and it worked okay. (2000-02-21 debug build) Can 
someone on Win98 confirm that it's still a problem?

Comment 5

[Henrik Gemal]

I just tested with the newest build and here's how to reproduce:
- Disconnect from the network.
- Start Mozilla
- Launch mail

Try to restart Windows.

I'll try otherways too...

Comment 6

[Henrik Gemal]

Ok.. I think you just have to start Mail and the try to restart.
This will give you an error.
You dont have to be disconnected from the net.

so:
- Start Mozilla
- Start Mail
- restart Windows

Comment 8

[Wan-Teh Chang]

plevent is no longer part of NSPR.  Please reassign to 
its new owners (brendan,dougt,dp,travis,troy).

Comment 9

[Christine Begle]

okay; updating owner to dougt; if it's not you, i guess you can try the next 
person down the line :)

setting milestone.

Comment 11

[Doug Turner (:dougt)]

this may have been fixed by 33928.  I will try to verify this tomorrow.

Comment 12

[Doug Turner (:dougt)]

I could not reproduce by either restarting or by sending a WM_CLOSE message to 
all windows in the process.

Comment 13

[Henrik Gemal]

Doesn't work in build 2000042512 on Win2000.
Open Mozilla
choose Start -> Shutdown -> Restart

Gives me the "ending process" dialog...

Comment 14

[Doug Turner (:dougt)]

not going to have time to fix for m16.  m17 bound.

Comment 15

[Doug Turner (:dougt)]

moving out milestones.

Comment 16

[Henrik Gemal]

Unable to reproduce this on Win2000 anymore....

Comment 17

[Doug Turner (:dougt)]

has this problem gone away?  marking as worksforme.  QA can you verify on win98,
nt, and 2000?

adding verifyme keyword to all worksforme bugs.

Comment 19

[James "Kovu" Russell]

WFM (win98 92711). I actually restarted my computer testing it, worked just
fine. Verifying.
