124023 - Extraneous "R" in error message when attempting to compose

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[rudman]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Use 2/6 build, trunk build ID 2002020610.

An error message appeared with an "R" after the sentence of text.

Attachment: Screen shot of bad error message

Adding screenshot of error message with extra letter, after the second
sentence.

Is there a way to extract all error messages (on Mac, they're resources we can
grab and generate a file from, no?) for each component, so we can review them
en masse instead of encountering them serendipitously?

I don't know if there's a bug on the functional issue---namely, in the 2/6
build, I couldn't compose a message in email. Hitting Reply resulted in the
same problem. Investigating if the bug exists.

bad mozilla says it's 2002020603, but it's from 2002020610 trunk.
2002020606 trunk is ok (also says it's 2002020603?) !
message composing/replying/forwarding is impossible.

The extra "R" is a minor issue, but the inability to compose a new message is a
big problem!   Does this bug cover both?

Comment 4

[rudman]

No, this bug covers only the error message itself.

I haven't been able to establish yet whether there is a bug on the other issue,
but I suspect there is. I'll comment once I find the bug # for that.

[WD]

I found it... 
bug 124153

And that part seems to be fixed in today's build.

I haven't seen this myself; Steve, are you still able to reproduce this?

Comment 8

[rudman]

I can't force the error message to appear. I searched in lxr for the text, but
couldn't find it---I couldn't find an error message remotely similar. So I can't
reproduce the bug (though there probably is some better way at getting at all
the relevant error messages and checking those).

I assume rudman never saw this again...
