Details

For the last couple of days, I've been having a problem where any actions that open a new window fail. I build my own mozilla from cvs. eg: New Window Open Mail News Open Calendar Open Addressbook Open Chatzilla. Actions that open xul dialogs such as preferences or cookie manager do work however. Also, if one of these failing actions is attempted and then mozilla closed, it will not exit, so it seems that the open operation is failing and not returning, or that the new window is created but invisible. I've tried using a fresh profile and it hasn't helped. I'm not sure what's up, but I couldn't find an existing bug on this problem - though if it was happening to everyone, I'd have thought there'd be a lot more noise.

After a little poking around, it turns out that the calendar component is causing this problem. I can't find a calendar bug to cover it, so I'm updating this one. When calendar is installed, any attempts to open a new window triggered by a xul front end action (new window, open mailnews, etc) will fail. The window appears to be created in some way but never appears on the screen. Null name entries appear in the task menu and if you file->quit, mozilla will exit, but if you file->close, it won't, because of the invisible windows. xul dialogs appear without problems. If calendar is not installed, there is no problem.
