222453 - crash if I choose Advanced (search) in the Address Book

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 215897

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[Fran Parker]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7

From the Address Book in version .3 of Thunderbird, reliably, if I choose the
Advanced button in the Address Book the program crashes and must be shut down.

In the .2x version (reported as 1.5b: 2003100815 in the properties of the
thunderbird.exe), the Advanced button worked great. Prior to this version it did
the same thing it is doing now.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Thunderbird
2. Open Address Book
3. Click on Advanced button

Actual Results:  
the program crashed. More specifically it just sits there and never comes back.
You must use alt cntrl del to shutdown the Address Book. It actually ends up
shutting down the entire Thunderbird. You can restart Thunderbird with no ill
effects as long as you don't try to use the Advanced button on the Address Book
again.

Expected Results:  
The Advanced Tab should have opened an advanced search window for searching the
Address Book for non-standard items that do not come up with the main search in
the Address Book, such as phone numbers and comment information. (At least
that's what it did with the last version I used). This was an extremely handy tool.

I am using Windows 98 SE with all the latest Security Patches from Microsoft and
the various AVG antivirus software, ZoneAlarm firewall software, etc.
