229179 - Thunderbird crashed when adding several names (emails) in one line

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[José Jeria]

I wanted to try out the new feature with pasting in several names, what I did was

1) I Typed in "Fernando, Carolina, Papa" (the first 2 exist in my adress book)
2) Pressed Enter and saw that Thunderbird was filling in the emails
3) But on the third name --> CRASH!

I can reproduce this crash every time. Does it have to do with that the last one
doesnt exist in my address book?

Build: Thunderbird 0.5a (20031219)

Confirmed. If several, comma delimited addresses are put in the To: field of the
compose window and one of the addresses is not in the user's address book,
Thunderbird crashes. In WinXP, the (in)famous: "Mozilla Thunderbird has
encountered a problem" message appears and Thunderbird shuts down.

Here's what I'm doing:

typing: "Scott, David, aldskjfklajlfjaskdjfksja"

the last one is not in my AB. 

I see:

name completion for scott
name completion fo david
then
[e-mail]

get added to the compose window

Could this be XP only? As I mentioned, I crash every time. 
Too bad that TB doesnt come with a Talkback.

I can reproduce crash if one of the names 
being entered in the To: field is not in my 
AddressBook on Win98 OS, so this seems not to 
be a Win XP only issue. Error Msg.: "Thunderbird 
has performed an illegal operation and will now 
be shut down".

Scott,

What I am doing is as follows:

typing in To: "Phil, Chuck, Dave" (without quotes of course)

Dave is not in my address book.

Nothing happens until I click out of the To: field. Once I do that I see:

name completion for Phil (on one To: line)
name completion for Chuck (on another To: line)
a third To: line appears but remains blank

Then, in a second or so, I get an error box from Windows saying:

  "thunderbird.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry
   for the inconvenience." 

Clicking close then shuts down Thunderbird. If I click to get more info about
the error, I see:

  AppName: thunderbird.exe  AppVer:0.4.0.0   ModName: appcomps.dll
  ModVer: 0.0.0.0   Offset: 00007779

Is there any way to turn off this feature to avoid the crash?

I think I see why I don't see it. If LDAP auto completion is turned on, I don't
see this crash. I just turned it off and now I see it.
