Description

[Paul F. Hubert]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030120
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030120

Created test mail
Selected Spell check
Windows posted "Mozilla.exe has ... error log has been generated'


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.compose mail
2.select spell check
3.mozilla crashes




When I load mozilla for the first time after an install, a brief display of some
missing resource pops up .. but mozilla loads anyway.  Second time loading
Mozilla after install .. no message.

After latest nightly build -- 2 of these messages (different) .. too quick to
copy down however.

Mozilla still crashing frequently on first use of browser window when mail
client is open (first keying of a url).

Sounds like bug 185251.

Paul, that spellchecker module seems not up-to-date, it does not work with
current nightlies; if you want to use it, you might try older Mozilla versions
like 1.2.1 or some else that are confirmed it works with.

I used the spellchecker at this site:
http://spellchecker.mozdev.org/installation.html#mozilla1.3a

which I must assume cannot work with 1.3b?? or nightly builds??

Right, as
http://spellchecker.mozdev.org/installation.html#mozillanightly
says:
"Starting with about 20030116, the 1.3a binaries no longer works with nightlies."
(which are the current builds that already have the name of the upcoming 1.3b
release in them)

At the moment there is only a Linux version for the nightlies.
