273703 - mozilla freeze if a link to saved html file is passed from konqueror

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Jan Kozanek]

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

A file with international characters in its name passed to mozilla for opening
from an external app produces instant freeze.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. In KDE's Konqueror I make a request to open such a file in external app
(which is configured only through the program name mozilla /no switches/)
2. new mozilla windows opens
3. 

Actual Results:  
and immediately all other mozilla windows including the new one freeze, stop to
display anything and the whole suite responds only to "kill -9"

Expected Results:  
A file with no international characters in its name opens like a charm using
exactly the same setup and procedure. Also direct opening of the problem-causing
file in Mozilla works perfect.

The freeze happens rougly in 95% cases. In the rest Mozilla just reveals that it
was passed the name incorrectly with the international chars converted oddly.
Although this is definitely a bug in Konqueror (already filed), Mozilla SHOULD
NOT crash and make the user lose all open windows on ANY malformed input.

I don't use KMozilla or any other KDE widgets for linking Mozilla to Konqueror.
My Mozilla suite is installed as a stand-alone app from its binary non-RPM release.
