Description

[Jan Schnackenberg]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030516 Mozilla Firebird/0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030516 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

When trying to select anything in the "view"-combobox in Thunderbird, it closes
as soon as I move the mouse down to the dropdown-list. If I focus the combobox
and press the down-arrow, Thunderbird crashes immediately, without any
warning/errormessage.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. drop down the "View"-combobox
2. move mouse down to the dropdown list

or

3. focus the "View"-combobox
4. press down-arrow

Actual Results:  
in case of the first 2 steps: the combobox closes immediately

in case of the last 2 steps: Thunderbird crashes immediately

Expected Results:  
I should be able to select one of the view-options.

I choose "critical" in the severity, because it crashes Thunderbird.

There were problems with the View combobox when it was first introduced. Marking
bug as WFM. Reporter: try this on a new build of thunderbird (preferably 0.1)
and see if you can reproduce it.

I cannot test with Windows-Builds at the moment, but I tested under Linux
(GenToo, using gcc 3.2.3) and the View-Combobox worked just fine. So the bug
appears to be fixed.
