When replying to an html message that contains an image (shift reply from text
mode) an y attempt to alter the image properties via Format > Image Properties
the suite segfaults.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Select a news message containing an image
2.Reply in html mode.  This loads the image in the Reply composer
3.Attempt to reformat the image by selecting the image and clicking Format >
Image Properties.

Actual Results:  
Entire suite closes

Expected Results:  
Allow resize or whatever operation one wants to perform on the image.

This has also happened in Mac OS and Windows reported to me by different users.

A linux gdb bt shows:

This appear to work for me using Thunderbird 1.0 on WinXP, is it a regression ?
Do you work in off-line mode, does it crash immediately after clicking image
properties (or double-clicking the image) ?

Not working in off line mode. The crash occurs (freeze in debug mode) as soon as
the Properties box is rendered.  It's not up long enough to read the widgets.

When I tested it. I was online. 

Mac OSX.3.7 Mozilla 1.8.a.5

wasn't willing to try offline.

when Mozilla's Bug reporter came up I filled out the crash report.

Also It caused Mac OSX's Crash Reporter to come up as well. I filled that out
and sent in. as well.

So its bad enough on Mac OSX to cause system crash/error reporter to come up.

I had to double-click the image to crash Mozilla, if i go the Format > Image
Properties way, it doesn't crash.

Please change status to resolved.  

I don't get enough html mail to know exactly when the problem ceased, but recent CVS builds do not have the problem.
