141222 - mail won't launch again after being closed while running quicklaunch

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 144027

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[bugzilla]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.0rc1) Gecko/20020417
BuildID:    2002041711

When mail is launched, then closed again, it will not re-launch from either the
quicklaunch icon on the taskbar nor from the Browser.  Once all browser windows
are closed, Quicklaunch still does not allow 'Exit Mozilla' option, and mail
will still not launch, even though mail is not apparently open.  

Task Manager / Three fingered salute must be used to completely exit mozilla
including Quicklaunch before mail will launch again.

Problem occurs only when Quicklaunch is active.  Exiting and restarting Mozilla
completely (using the quicklaunch taskbar icon menu to 'Exit Mozilla') before
attempting to re-launch mail after closing it avoids the issue until mail is
next launched then closed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Load Mozilla Quicklaunch
2.Launch Mail (from either the quicklaunch or browser menus)
3.Close Mail
4.Attempt to launch mail again.

Actual Results:  Mail does not launch at all, and the Quicklaunch menu greys out
the 'Exit Mozilla' option, despite the fact that no mozilla apps are visibly
running.

Expected Results:  Mail should have launched, and when all mozilla windows are
closed, Quicklaunch should allow 'Exit Mozilla' option from the taskbar icon menu.

Reporter: DO you use a third-party Theme ?

Comment 2

[bugzilla]

A third party theme is in use - GrayModern 
(Author of the theme is Johannes Schellen - [e-mail])

If this launch problem is due to a fault in loading the theme, the behaviour I
would expect would be to ignore the broken theme and load either Classic or
Modern, as is done when an attempt to load a broken theme is made from the
preferences dialog.

Comment 3

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

The Theme contains a version string. Mozilla will ignore an outdated Theme but
it can't detect a Theme with a correct version string (and mozilla will never be
able to detect this)

Please try it with modern or classic and if this is fixed, install a new Theme
version (uninstall the old one first). (Johannes Schellen fixed the pinball
Theme and I think he also fixed the GrayModern)

Reporter, we are trying to verify quick launch specific bugs.  If you have tried
what is suggested in comment #3 and it works, please update this bug.  If not
then reopen it.  I will resolve it a dup of 144027 and verify it.
