103905 - News hangs when changing newsgroup pressing space

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Ere Maijala (slow)]

Mozilla hangs when changing to another newsgroup by pressing space in a 
newsgroup with no unread messages. The whole UI just stops. This does not seem 
to happen with all servers, but it happens while changing group in 
news.mozilla.org (at least changing from n.p.m.seamonkey to n.p.m.mail-news). I 
haven't seem this with older builds, now running 2001100903.

Do you get a pop-up alert asking you if you want to advance to another
newsgroup? You should. It could be that this is waiting for acknowledgement and
is hidden behind a window?  similar, ref bug 97466.

At least once it hung after the dialog was dismissed. The other time it seemed 
to hang before the dialog.

It hung on me again. This time definitely before seeing the dialog about
advancing to next newsgroup. Does not feel like a hidden dialog/popup because
Windows says the program is not responding and the mail-news window seems to
still have focus, although nothing works.

Could it have something to do with the new system that advances to the next
newsgroup in the order they are displayed in the tree? I think I didn't have
these problems before that. It happens at least now always before displaying the
popup about advancing to next newsgroup. And reading Mozilla groups, it happens
all the time.

Hmm.. I guess I should have done this in the first place, but anyway, the
problem seems to be gone now that I deleted news.mozilla.org, the associated
files and recreated it. So, WFM now.
