278779 - Calendar has problems and crashes when the MinimizeToTray extension is installed

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Calendar :: General, defect)

Description

[Brad Peterson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Programs Affected:
    Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0
    Mozilla Firefox 1.0
    Mozilla Suite 1.73

When Calendar and the MinimizeToTray extension are installed, Calendar has
problems when it loads and it crashes the Mozilla app when it closed.  

When Calendar is loaded through Tools->Calendar, you will see that the menu bar
with the "File Edit...Help" menus do not display.  Also, scrollbars were non
responsive.  

When I try to close Calendar, it crashes.  

Several users have reported this same bug to me (I'm the MinimizeToTray
maintainer).   And I was able to duplicate it myself.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start on a fresh profile (because I think I've had month old profiles not
show this bug...)
2. Install the calendar .xpi  
3. Install the MinimizeToTray .xpi
http://minimizetotray.mozdev.org/installation.html
4. Restart your Mozilla app of course.
5. Goto Tools -> Calendar
6. Close Mozilla Calendar window

Actual Results:  
After step 5, one user reported this:
    Mozilla Calendar file toolbar missing
    Most Mozilla Calendar buttons/dialogs no longer work
    Many errors in the Javascript console on Fx/Tb/Suite

After step 6,
    The Mozilla app will crash.

Expected Results:  
To not crash

Sound more like a problem with the extension. Did anybody report this to the
extension author?

Comment 3

[Brad Peterson]

Yes, the extensions author, Mook is aware of it.  He's trying to compile
Sunbird/Calendar himself so he can see if the extension is causing the problem
or not.  

In the mean time, I posted this here, wondering if anyone could tell if the talk
back crash report I submitted shows a Mozilla bug, and not just a bug from our
extension.  Unfortunately, the talk back reports are all gibberish to me.  =) 
Can anyone else make any sense of it?  Or is Mooks approach to build
Calendar/Sunbird the best approach to figuring it out?

Fixed.

Michiel van Leeuwen, you were right, it was our end.  I changed some things
around, and now Calendar and MinimizeToTray can coexist together. 

Marking bug as invalid since it wasn't Calendar's fault.

The bugspam monkeys have been set free and are feeding on Calendar :: General. Be afraid for your sanity!
