1778836 - [glodaComplete.webSearch1.label] plus many items from other context menus in folder listing context menu

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Eric Moore]

I was using Thunderbird 102.0.1 under Windows 11pro and right clicked on a message in the folder listing. Thunderbird was maximized, using the entire display.

I got a very long context menu that included menu items such as play, pause, mute, unmute and [glodaComplete.webSearch1.label] that should never be displayed in a folder listing context menu.

If I click on something else and try again the problem is not reproducible. I have seen this twice before, once with 102.0 and once with a late beta of 102. When it happened before the context menu was so long it required scrolling and included menu items such as play, pause, mute and unmute but I didn't notice a [glodaaComplete.webSearch1.label] .

This has only happened while right clicking on a message in the inbox for my Fastmail IMAP account. That is my main account and gets over 95% of my mail. Global search/indexing is enabled. Message synchronization (offline folders) is currently disabled for that account. It uses mbox files.

I have never seen this type of problem when right clicking on a folder, only when right clicking on a message. I only have email accounts.

Expected results:
The context menu is supposed to start with:
Open Message in New Tab
Open Message in Window
Open Message in Conversation

and have 23 menu items, short enough that there are several inches above and below the context menu, and there is no scrolling.

Actual results:

Note: I didn't intend to add any markdown styling, but it looks like the dashed lines triggered it and are displayed as a horizontal line.

Instead the extremely long context menu (which required vertical scrolling) started with

I am using the Compact Headers and FolderFlags add-ons. Monterail Full Dark is also installed but disabled. I'm using the soft drawing paper theme. When this occurred before I didn't have Monterail Full Dark installed.

It occurred again with 102.0.2 . Looks the same (including the [glodaComplete.webSearch1.label]) except that Edit Draft Message and New Message from Template were in bold, and part of a separate section in the context menu. I have a template folder but its empty.

I copied and pasted the following section from the error console because it mentioned clicking and I don't think I ever saw it before. :

Is there any type of logging I can enable to help troubleshoot?

I think we need to figure out what happened to cause that error. What was clicked?

Of course, not clear if that is just an error console message or if it's actually related to the issue. Probably the error message from comment 0 is the more actionable. But why gFolderDisplay is null...

Eric, did you ever see this again? I haven't seen other reports about it.

I haven't seen it again since my last comment (17 days ago). I've only seen it four times total.
