195967 - Composer Freezes when it should open a dialog box

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 169777

(SeaMonkey :: Composer, defect)

Description

[Brian W. Carver]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

My composer used to work fine (SuSE 8.0).

Now, I can edit HTML files (and save those changes) so long as I don't click on
a button or select a menu item that would cause a dialog box to appear. In
particular, the Link button freezes up all of Mozilla every time I click it
regardless of the file I'm editing. Choosing Link Properties after a right click
has the same effect.

If I were to just reinstall 1.2.1 over itself would this fix it?

I tried 1.3 but had to regress because I kept losing all my mail to that
corruption problem that is the most duplicated bug right now.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open a file in composer.
2.Right click.
3.Select Link Properties. You're Frozen now.

Actual Results:  
Mozilla was frozen and had to be killed from a shell to get it to shut down.

Expected Results:  
It should have opened a dialog box displaying the link properties.

close Mozilla and delete the file "XUL.mfasl" in your mozilla profile.

Deleting that file seems to have resolved the issue. Thanks!
