289805 - Closing 'Manage Bookmarks' makes Mozilla quit.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Michael Graubart]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050409
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050409

If one goes to Bookmarks and opens 'Manage Bookmarks', perhaps moves or searches
for a bookmark, and then closes the 'Manage Bookmarks' window, Mozilla
frequently quits. This seems to happen more often when one also has Mail &
Newsgroups open and is composing an e-mail message.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open "Manage Bookmarks'. Possible do something like searching for a bookmark.
2.Close the window.
3.If Mail & Newsgroups is also open and one is composing a message, click 'Mail
& Newsgroups' in the Window menu.

Actual Results:  
Either at 2. or at 3., Mozilla quits and the Talkback application opens.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should have remained active.

eMac, OS X 10.3.8, Classic theme.

I should have added that this is a fairly recent instability. It occurs in Build
2005040712 (as well as 2005040912), but does not occur in Build 2005033110.

I have investigated this further. It's simpler -- and worse -- than I thought.
One does not have to have Mail open at all. If Navigator is open, one goes to
'Manage Bookmarks' and then closes the latter, everything remains OK. If,
however, when one has opened 'Manage Bookmaarks', one clicks in the search pane
at the top of the window (even if one does not type anything into the pane) and
THEN closes the 'Manage Bookmarks' page, Mozilla crashes.

Hi Michael

I can't reproduce this with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US;
rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050316  - Seems to be Mac specific

So - I've added the qawanted keywork so that hopefully someone with a Mac can
reproduce and mark as "confirmed"

Thanks, Simon. It's quite a disturbing bug, so I hope it gets fixed soon.

Hmm, I can't seem to reproduce this with build 2005040509 or build 2005041309.
Michael, any chance of a Talkback ID?

Oh, on Mac OS 10.3.8 of course

Stefan, I thought I had done a Talkback report, but I'll make this copy of
Mozilla (20050411) crash and then do a Talkback. And then I'll download 20050413
and try that and report on it.

Comment 9

[Michael Graubart]

Stefan, I did what I said I'd do in Comment #8: I made Build 20050411 crash in
the way described and filled in the resulting Talkback report, referring to this
bug in my report.

I have now downloaded Build 2005041309, and, indeed, the crashes no longer
happen. I have changed the 'Resolve bug' to "Worksforme'.

Apologies, Stefan: re Comment #9 — I forgot to say that my Talkback report was
