119254 - Browser crashes when visiting site with unknown issuer.

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect, P2)

Description

[Javier Delgadillo]

At the page http://testca.netscape.com/legal-button.html, you see a button at
the bottom of the page.  When you press the button, you're taken to a an SSL web
site with a cert issued by a test CA.  Normally the user would see a dialog
prompting to continue and asking whether or not to permanently trust the new site.

On the Mac it just hangs and eventually exits.

I debugged it somewhat, but now it's beyond my scope of understanding.  We try
to open the URL chrome://pippki/content/newserver.xul in a modal window by
calling the window watcher from here
http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/security/manager/pki/src/nsNSSDialogs.cpp#249

Eventually it gets all the way down and calls ShowAsModal here:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/embedding/components/windowwatcher/src/nsWindowWatcher.cpp#698

But we never get control back.  Looks like another one of those modal bugs.

->XPapps. 

Javier, is the exit a crash? Does macsbug give you a useful stack? 

Comment 2

[Javier Delgadillo]

I'm currently working on NSS 3.4 integration so I don't have a stack trace that
would correspond with the actual trunk.

mpt reported to me, over IRC, that he gets a "Mozilla exited unexpectedly" message.

How would I get a stack trace using MacsBug (which command do I run once I'm in
MacsBug)?  I have to force kill the app in order to give control back to
CodeWarrior when running under a debugger.

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

javi, in Macsbug type either 'sc' --or, if the output is sparse there, try
'sc7'. [without the quotes, of course.]

[Peter Trudelle]

Does 'stdlog' macro in Macsbug still create a 'stdlog' text file on the desktop
with stack trace, registers, IP, and other goodies?  ->jag/critical

wfm on BuildID 2002-02-15-08, MacOS 9.2.2.

Is this the classic skin ShiftFocus recursion bug?

Comment 7

[John Unruh]

Mac 9.2 crashes only with the classic skin for me. Adding crash, classic and 
nsbeta1 keywords.

Comment 8

[Peter Trudelle]

nsbeta1+ per ADT triage team, ->1.0,  nominating for topembed

Comment 9

[Dave Barrowman]

topembed+ per EDT triage.

Comment 10

[John Unruh]

Works for me. I'm not seeing a crash with Mac 9.2 trunk build with classic or 
modern skins. https://pki.mcom.com:9100/tests.html

Verified.
