110107 - Opening bookmarks menu gives repeated invalid URL alerts until window closed

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect, P2)

Description

[Peter Janes]

Opening the bookmarks menu pops up an alert about an invalid URL.  After it's
cleared, the alert appears again and again immediately, making all Mozilla
windows unusable until the browser window is closed (with some tricky
spacebar/mouse manipulation).

This is similar to bug 110081 (and the other bugs listed there) but more
critical, as it essentially makes the Bookmarks menu unusable.

Linux build 2001111408.

marking p2 and mozilla0.9.8

Comment 2

[Scott Kester]

This bug makes any current nightly unusable for me and I am supprised to see it
targeted as 0.9.8.  Once I get the Alert window, my only option is to kill the
browser, so for me it is as bad as a crash/hang and should be marked as
critical.  Any chance this can be fixed sooner?  Also I do not see this bug on
my 2001111314 nightly that is the last usable build I got.

check to see if this is not fixed in a new build.. probably just a dupe of
another open/new or fixed bug now.

Comment 4

[Peter Janes]

Seems OK in Linux nightly 2001111821.

Comment 5

[Scott Kester]

Yes it does appear to have been fixed, linux 2001111821 runs fine.

Comment 6

[Claudius Gayle]

i really think this is a dupe of 11081 since they are so similar and one fix
fixed both, but I'll just mark it fixed instead

mass-verifying claudius' Fixed bugs which haven't changed since 2001.12.31.

if you think this particular bug is not fixed, please make sure of the following
before reopening:

a. retest with a *recent* trunk build.
b. query bugzilla to see if there's an existing, open bug (new, reopened,
assigned) that covers your issue.
c. if this does need to be reopened, make sure there are specific steps to
reproduce (unless already provided and up-to-date).

thanks!
