177674 - hangs when "search" in sidebar will be selected

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 175324

(SeaMonkey :: Sidebar, defect)

Description

[Rainer Bielefeld]

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021028
and also bulid 20021027

After I install my new bukild everything works fine, but after 1-2 days (and
maybe any changes in prefs or something like that) mozilla becomes quite
unstable and it hangs with 100% if I try to select the search-tab in the sidebar.

Until now I did not find how to make it reproducable.

My only experiances:
- problem stays if I Install mozilla into the same folder agein
- problem disappears if I install a new mozilla-build in a new folder
- today I was successful with uisng an older mozilla-build  (20020913) for 1 time
  after that now I can use my actual build again
- Interesting: 2 times "Netscape-Search"; might have to do with the probem?
  might be that the problem started after I changed "Internet-Search"-pref from 
  "Netscape" to "DMOZ" (I am not shure)

There might be a connection to bug 148134

I had it again with
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021103
Again I had a second "Netscape-Search" in the sidebar
This time, I was no longer able to open the mailnews-Window.
Today I was successful again with uisng an older mozilla-build  (20020913) for 1
time after that now I can use my actual build again (but the second
"Netscape-Search" in the sidebar did not disappear).

Rainer Bielefeld, the duplicated search engines, that's bug 169303 (I knew there
was one about this). Now the reporter of that bug mentioned that it's not
happening any more. You might want to check that bug out, if you still have this
problem.
