Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Steps are mentioned above.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Mozilla crashed. Sometimes it showed the outline of the window for profile

How can I upload the core file if you need it?

Reporter:
Which compiler do you use ?

Comment 3

[Sunil]

gcc 3.3.1.

This problem went away after I compiled imgContainerGIF.cpp with -g flag instead
of -O2. Weird! Then, I built the whole thing with -O.

But I hit another crash. When I open the mail window(after all the setup), it
says connecting to server, sending login information and that's it. No prompting
for password, no fetching of mails. After sometime(a minute or so), mozilla will
crash. When run thru GDB I found that it crashes in PasswordPrompt function. I
notice that mozilla is not able to throw open any kind of dialog boxes, not even
ones from buttons in the page like in hotmail, to empty the Junk Mail folder if
I click on the button, nothing happens, it should ask for confirmation OR if I
right click on a link and ask to "save target as .." nothing happens, it should
throw open file selector dialog. If I start mozilla without a profile name,
pressing "start mozilla" button doesn't do anything in the profile selector, so
I have to start with -P.

If I don't open mail window, mozilla doesn't crash, but all dialog boxes don't
show up. All this happens whether Popups are enabled or not.

So, looks like something is really messed up with either GTK2(version installed
is 2.2.3 = LATEST) or mozilla 1.4 on solaris. With or without XFT, same results.

1.4 is a pile of junk, I think.

1.5b doesn't have any of these issues. So, anybody coming here with similar
issues, I would say get 1.5b. Its much more stable than the "supposedly stable 1.4".

Comment 5

[Sunil]

Marking fixed in 1.5b

Comment 6

[HARUNAGA Hirotoshi]

Not FIXED.
