294207 - Non-ascii/garbage characters in grouping bars or Thunderbird crashes.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 269199

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Tyler Lebert]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/412 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/412
Build Identifier: 

I like to close the application window to leave thunderbird running in the back ground. When I re-open the 
window, the grouping bars display non-ascii/garbage characters. Occasionally Thunderbird will crash 
instead of re-opening the application window.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Thunderbird
2. Click the X in the upper right hand corner or press CMD+W
3. Go to window and select "Mail & Newsgroups" or press CMD+1

Actual Results:  
The application window re-opened with garbage characters in the grouping bars. Occasionally the app 
crashes.

Expected Results:  
The application window should have re-opened with the standard grouping titles.

Screen shots of the characters in the grouping bars will posted at http://people.emich.edu/tlebert/
screenshots.htm ASAP. The text that Apples Problem Reporter will be provided at http://

I've seen this bug running TB 1.0.2 on an iMac G5 and a Powerbook 667.  Love the
grouping feature, please fix it.  Thanks

Yep.  I just downloaded the latest Tbird from Mozillazine (version 1.0+
(20050712)) and it still has the same bug.
