300986 - "An error occurred while creating a message compose window"

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 300527

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Mike Cowperthwaite]

version 1.0+ (20050715)  Win2K

Click the New button, get an error box that reads "An error occurred while 
creating a message compose window. Please try again."

First time I tried this, JS console contained some errors.  Clearing the console 
and trying again generated no errors; restarting TB and trying again *still* 
generated no errors.  After running TB 1.0.5, then restarting the trunk build 
and trying again, the JS console contained four errors:

No chrome package registered for chrome://editor/locale/editorNavigatorOverlay.
dtd .

No chrome package registered for chrome://editor/locale/editorOverlay.dtd .

Error: undefined entity

       observes="cmd_bold" modifiers="accel"/>

Warning: Failed to load overlay from chrome://editor/content/editorOverlay.xul.

Same profile works fine with 1.0.5, which was installed earlier today.  The 0715 
build was d/l'd and unzipped this evening, and failed immediately.

No doubt this bug has already been reported, but I can't find it.

Ah, hell.  Whoever opened the dupe didn't think it qualified as "blocker," which 
is why I missed it.
