177757 - Chimera crash not firing up talkback

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Talkback Client, defect)

Description

[Tracy Walker [:tracy]]

seen on chimera build 2002-10-31-04

steps to reproduce a crash:

-goto www.apple.com/trailers
-locate the "finding nemo" trailer and click to go to it
-click on the click here to play movie image

after a moment...Crash!!!

-dismiss the systems "unexpedtedly quit dialog"

talkback dialogs do not fire up as expected.

note:  I left this at critical as to not hold up the mozilla tree.  But if
talkback is supposed to be working with Chimera, then it is a blocker for that
product.  I didn't file this under Chimera database because there is a talkback
selection for component there.

tracy, did you see this on 10.1.5 or 10.2.1, or both?

[Tracy Walker [:tracy]]

I saw it 10.1.5 and Patti was able to reproduce it on 10.2.1 as well.

Simon, there is nothing recorded in the crash log for navigator for these crashes.

Perhaps this is unrelated, but I just tested the os9 commercial build and it is
missing the master.ini file.  Linux and windows commercial builds have it as
expected.  Without the master.ini file, talkback doesn't work.

cc'ing Shiva.

[Tracy Walker [:tracy]]

previous comment isn't related.  the master.ini file is present in the chimera
builds talkback folder.

As per the crash,
WFM, 10.2.1 + 2002-1-10-04 build.

BTW, looks like a funny movie.  Go Pixar.

worksforme in 2002120504. I think it was just one build that didn't have
talkback. I used to have the problem, two days ago I think.
