(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[maxie3]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113

Installed Thunderbird.  Established account using account wizard. 
Exited...started profile manager.  Highlighted the only profile listed and
clicked delete.  Thunderbird crashed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install Thunderbird,
2. Start profile mgr and attempt to delete the profile.
3. Thunderbird crashes



Expected Results:  
Should have deleted profile.

Also, I noticed if I add a profile.  I am able to delete the one listed at the
top....but then when I attempt to delete the 2nd profile, Thunderbird crashes.

Don't know if this is related, but afterwards I uninstalled Thunderbird
completely (removed the folders) and reinstalled it.  It remembered the 2nd
profile I created.  Again, when I tried to delete it, it crashes.

Attachment: Mac OS X Crash Log containing details of two crashes.

Thunderbird version 0.7.1 (20040626); Mac OS 10.2.8

 I see the same thing on the Mac: attempting to delete a single remaining
profile causes a crash "Exception:  EXC_BREAKPOINT (0x0006) ... in halt". See
attached log.

 If "Delete files" was selected in the delete confirmation dialog then the next
launch will display the profile manager, with the default profile listed, but
any attempts to start with this profile displays the error 'Mozilla Thunderbird
cannot use the profile "default" because it is in use. Please choose another
profile or create a new one.' Clicking the "Delete..." button at this stage
causes a different crash "Exception:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001) ... in
nsToolkitProfile::Remove(int)". See attached log.

 Note that if "Don't delete files" is selected in the dialog then Thunderbird
will launch normally on the next attempt, successfully using the default
profile. Note also that Talkback was not launched by these crashes despite
talkback reporting being turned on.

Just to add to the comment above (I should have included it when I created this
bug)...but I also got the same 'Mozilla Thunderbird cannot use the profile
"default" because it is in use. Please choose another profile or create a new
one.' error that jwg detailed above.

maxie3: Could you provide TalkBack incident id? And what version of Thunderbird
crashed?

Comment 4

[maxie3]

Adam:  As in jwg's case, Talkback was not launched even though it was turned
on....so I don't have any incident id.  I was using version 0.7.2.

should be fixed on trunk and aviary nightlies if I'm reading the other bug right
