288871 - Problems entering addresses in new mail composition

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Steve Wardell]

For the last couple days I've had problems entering addresses on new emails to
the point not where it's impossible. Checking the JavaScript log I see the
following:

XML Parsing Error: no element found
Location:
jar:file:///C:/PROGRA~1/MOZILL~1/chrome/mail.jar!/content/global/autocomplete.xml
Line Number 1, Column 1:

I'm seeing the same thing with 0403, Win2K.  I'm not sure what is meant by 
reporter's "to the point not where it's impossible" -- I cannot enter address 
information at all; I can't even get the focus into the field to enter a value.

Not being able to address messages constitutes a blocker.

I backed out the checkin that caused this so we can get useable trunk builds again. 

Feel free to re-adjust the back out when you've got a better fix.
