288851 - opening Thunderbird twice rapidly causes everything in the 3-panes to disappear

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Faraaz Damji]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird version 1.0.2 (20050317)

Opening thunderbird twice rapidly from the executable or shortcut causes
everything in all three panes to disappear.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. double-click the thunderbird icon or executable twice, in succession, rapidly
(so quickly double-click it twice)
Actual Results:  
All information in the three panes disappeared.  Upon closing and reopening
thunderbird, everything is restored.  See the posted URL for a screenshot.

Expected Results:  
Thunderbird should've opened normally, with the information retained in the
three panes.

Theme: Default
Crash ID: N/A
Configuration: Windows XP home SP1, P4 2.8 GhZ, 1GB RAM.  I can provide more
information on request if required.

There is no permanent loss of information.  Closing and reopen thunderbird will
make everything visible.  Thunderbird has no problem connecting to the mail
server and retrieving new messages (although they can't be viewed).

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that

highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
