123715 - Theme crash on 0.9.8

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 116038

(Core Graveyard :: Skinability, defect)

Description

[Jason Heirtzler]

Mozilla 0.98 crashes when I switch from Classic to
Modern themese and move my mouse over the 3 buttons
on the lower left corner of the window (navigator,
composer, IRC)

Crashes pretty quickly after a few theme changes,
so it should be easy to reproduce.

Talkback build number is TB2555761H

Also same problem in TB2555682E

Not sure if this is a dup of the other theme crashes
reported here, or not but anyways...

Seems to work on latest trunk builds (2002020409) on win98...

Reporter, could you please try a recent build to see if that fixes the problem?
You can download an updated nightly build from 

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/mozilla-win32-installer-sea.exe

Close Mozilla and run that program. Running a nightly build can be a little
risky. If you'd like, you can wait for 0.9.9, the next milestone release. That
will be released on March 1, or several days later.

OK, uninstalled my 0.98, then installed that build.

It crashed the exact same way.

There is a talkback available: TB3264010M

Confirming bug on Windows 98, Build ID: 2002022203 (0.9.8+). 

My profile was always set to modern theme, component bar off. I turned on the 
component bar. Then, I switched to Classic. Then, I switched back to Modern. 
That's when it crashed.

My Talkback ID is TB3352737Q.

Nominating for nsbeta1 and Mozilla1.0 because this is a crash that many users 
are likely to run into.

nsbeta1- per Nav triage team, should be fixed by delaying actual theme switch
till after restart (bug 127784)
