27269 - infinite reflow in mail compose

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 26618

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect, P3)

Description

[Alec Flett]

On Linux, in the mail compose window, I'm getting some kind of infinite reflow
loop whenever I enter a second address.. the CPU shoots to 100% utilization.
Stack trace below.

To reproduce:
- start mail
- open a compose window
- type in one address and hit enter
- type in a second address and hit enter

everything locks up at this point, and never comes back.
I interrupted in it in the debugger and took this stack trace snapshot:
(I've tried a few times - the top few frames are always different, and it seems
like the stack is always at least 50 frames deep)
This was happening before evaughan's box landing on 9-Feb-2000

[Alec Flett]

oops, meant to assign to hyatt, cc karnaze, not the other way around

Comment 2

[David Hyatt]

I'm beginning to think these hangs may have something to do with asynchronous 
reflow.  cc'ing nisheeth.

Comment 3

[buster]

nisheeth can show you how to turn off asynch reflow to verify.  I think he 
posted some info about how it all works based on prefs to n.p.m.layout not too 
long ago.

Comment 4

[Nisheeth Ranjan]

Set the "layout.reflow.async.afterDocLoad" to false in your prefs file.  This 
will turn off async reflow.

Comment 5

[David Hyatt]

On Win98, I was unable to reproduce any kind of hang.  Is this only happening on 
Linux?

cc'ing someone who might understand the GTK portion of the call stack.  pavlov, 
will probably need your help here.

Comment 6

[Alec Flett]

also happening on mac according to ducarroz
