Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 243203

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Phillip M. Jones, C.E.T.]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8a) Gecko/20040513
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8a) Gecko/20040513

I have a newsgroup that is setup using EMail. If you wish to post a private
reply to originator of Message Just choose reply and type you message and send.

If however, you want to reply to the group you must Choose "Reply to All" then
delete to originators address and change the Server from CC to TO. 
Up until this version of Mozilla  would hit reply to, then delete the name in
the To box, then hit delete again to remove the extra windo item, then chang the
TO to cc and send reply. Now if I hit the empty box agin with delete key Moz Crashes

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Read message and start a reply
2. Use Reply All
3. Delete "To Contents"
4. click in in empty To: box and type delete again to to remove empty box.

Actual Results:  
At Step 4. Mozilla imediately crashes. and The Macintosh system puts up a window
asking whether you want to report the crash.

Expected Results:  
Removed the enecessary box, allowed me to change the CC box to To and write and
send my message.

Crashes Mozilla in general takes down the whole program.

All version of Mozilla 1.8 previous have worked as it should without crash.

Need to fix part of my description:

I have word reversed in some places and some words appear incomplete:

hear is the way the part needing changes should read:

If however, you want to reply to the group you must Choose "Reply to All" then
delete "TO:" (originators) address and change the Server name's Address from
"CC:" to "TO:". 
Up until this version of Mozilla I would hit "Reply ALL", then delete the name
in the "To:" box, then hit delete again to remove the extra window item, then
change the "CC:" to "TO:" and send reply. Now if I hit the empty box again with
delete key Moz Crashes.

Sorry for the poor typing.

Philip, did you submit a Talkback incident, then?

most likely this is a DUP of bug 243203, but without a stack trace, it's hard to
tell.
