Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: DOM: Copy & Paste and Drag & Drop, defect)

Description

[Oscar Manuel Gómez Senovilla]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; es-ES; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; es-ES; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913

Without apparent reason, Mozilla 1.7.3 freezes from time to time, but it only
affects the UI items not being clickable, it's still working. I can say this
because I had a download in progress and I could see it going on. This time, I
had a great idea, and it was to force mozilla to open a link from an external
application, and this reactivated everything. Then, I opened the javascript
debugger, and I could see this message repeating many times:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsITransferable.getAnyTransferData]"  nsresult:
"0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame ::
chrome://global/content/nsTransferable.js :: anonymous :: line 132"  data: no]

I don't know what can cause this.

1.7.3 is way to old to expend resources. First try a nightly build, if that also
gives you hangs then you must attach a debugger to the running process and
provide a stack trace from the hung process. Only then can this be investigated
and decide  whether or not to provide a fix to that branch.

At this time this is forgotten and outdated
