This time the crash was when trying to drag & drop text from the view-source of
an email.

Changing Summary
Blocking 1.5 ?

Bjarne, do you still crash with a nightly build of 1.8, or a release candidate
of 1.7?  If so, could you please post the Talkback incident?

Thanks!

I've not seen this for some time now
I'm marking it WFM
Will re-open if it rears it ugly head again
