225192 - Program hang on NNTP server error

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 224197

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Matt Williams]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7

Version = Mozilla Thunderbird 0.3 (20031014) (current milestone from mozilla.org)

When I try to download too many messages at a time, I get an error from my news
server that there are too many connections from my IP. This is to be expected. 

An alert box pops up with the error message and and OK button.

I can click the OK button, but the alert dialog does not dismiss itself and the
application hangs. The application must be killed and restarted.

Haven't tested it with other errors as I haven't run across any other NNTP errors.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to download more messages than your NNTP server will allow.
2. Click OK to the resulting dialog box.

Actual Results:  
Application hangs.

Expected Results:  
The Alert dialog box should have disappeared and either (a) finish what the
application was doing, or (b) abort all connections and allow the user to start
over again.
