104377 - Mozilla will never exit if you quit it by closing Mailnews

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect)

Description

[Håkan Waara]

This is very bad. With this testcase, Mozilla will never terminate, and I'll 
have to do Ctrl-Alt-Delete to quit it!

1. Open a few browser windows, and a Mailnews window
2. Browse around some using the windows (that's what I usually do :)
3. Click the "X" in all browser windows, keeping only mailnews left open
4. Close mailnews by clicking the "X".

I am filing this in XPCOM, if this is wrong, feel free to move it around. CCing 
some mailnews folks too.

To rephrase: visually, it looks like Mozilla has quit, but it is still in 
memory -- and I need to ctrl-alt-delete to free it from memory. Thus, this 
should impact the OS' footprint.

please tell me you haven't (accidentally) turned on quick launch. Edit |

hwaara, are you still seeing this?  I haven't had any luck reproducing this.

Yes, still seeing it in my 2001-10-16 build if I close the mailnews window as
the last window.  I'll try to reproduce in a later build ...

I can't reproduce this with build 2002-01-29-03, therefore Verified.
