1335438 - Can't close chat conversations since the TB52 update

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Instant Messaging, defect)

Description

[Ryan VanderMeulen [:RyanVM]]

I was updated to 52b1 today and can't close chat conversations. Clicking on the red X or right-clicking and choosing "Close conversation" both result in nothing happen. The error console has relevant-looking errors in it:

TypeError: this._conv is undefined[Learn More]  imconversation.xml:1357:1
TypeError: this._conv is undefined[Learn More]  imconversation.xml:1266:10
TypeError: this.target is undefined[Learn More]  imConversations.js:352:17

Naturally, I restarted TB and now I can't reproduce :\

17:04:36 - RyanVM: […] my general recollection of events was that I tried to join #maildev, ended up in a state where I couldn't see anyone else connected and couldn't send messages and then I couldn't close any other conversations
17:05:01 - RyanVM: but oddly, I was able to /join #maildev when I tried again
17:05:19 - RyanVM: and then I had 2 #maildev in my list of conversations
17:05:31 - RyanVM: the broken one with a grey circle on it and the "good" one

Bah, I hit this again today. This was just after leaving TB open for 4 hours or so. Still no clue what's getting me into this state. Another thing that seems to accompany it is that I can't send messages anymore (I can type them in, but hitting Enter doesn't do anything).

Hey Ryan, curious if you're still seeing this on TB 60?

I don't recall seeing it for awhile now, no. I'm on Beta, FWIW. Let's call it WFM and I'll reopen if it ever hits again. Though without STR, not sure how much value it'll be anyway .
