Description

[Greg K.]

FizzillaMach/2003032808 crashed at nsCaret::GetCaretRectAndInvert while I was
typing a reply to an e-mail message and the browser was showing
<http://www.jijistudios.com/>.

The crash could not be subsequently reproduced.

Happened again, generating TB223475Q. Is this showing up in TB?

Comment 3

[Sebastian Redl]

I just had 4 crashes on the same message whenever I hit enter in the quoted part
of a reply. Moz 1.8a

Comment 4

[Greg K.]

Sebastian, do you have TalkBack report IDs referencing the crashes you mention
in comment 3?

Comment 5

[Sebastian Redl]

How do I obtain the ID? I can reproduce the crash (it always happens with that
particular mail).

Comment 6

[Sebastian Redl]

Ok, crashes are:
TB68613Z
TB68168M
TB68165E
TB68161Z

This is Moz 1.8a (2004052009) on WinXP.

Comment 7

[Greg K.]

(Strange, why don't any of those show up in Talkback Fastfind?)

Comment 8

[Sebastian Redl]

Is there any way I can bring the crash reports directly here if you can't find
the in the talkback database? If nothing is done on this bug then I'll migrate
back to 1.7, this bug is disrupting my work. I can't hit enter anywhere in
quoted text.

I'd be happy to help solve this bug, but I need help at helping ;)

see bug #199708 for a similar looking stack trace.

oops, I meant bug #280406

Comment 11

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

no crashes found on talkback for nscaret::getcaretrectandinvert
is there a clear set of steps to reproduce?

Comment 12

[Sebastian Redl]

I've been using Thunderbird for the longest time now. It doesn't occur there. (Thunderbird on GTK+ has many other annoying stuff in mail input, but that's unrelated.)
