304178 - Inadvertent triple-click on text entry sometimes crashes Camino.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 299419

(Camino Graveyard :: HTML Form Controls, defect)

Description

[Peter da Silva]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050620 Camino/0.9a1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050620 Camino/0.9a1

Sometimes when I inadvertently click three times on a text box, or double-click
and click again "too soon", Camino crashes.

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce




I will attach a crash dump after filing the bug. But first:

0   org.mozilla.navigator          	0x0043cd9c
nsEventStateManager::FireContextClick() + 0x2d4
1   libxpcom_core.dylib            	0x00f38d30 nsTimerImpl::Fire() + 0xa8
2   libxpcom_core.dylib            	0x00f38e58 handleTimerEvent(TimerEventType*)
+ 0x8c

The first three steps in the stack trace imply that what happens is that the
third click comes while it's handling the time-out for using click-and-hold to
bring up the context menu. I suspect that if I were to turn off click-and-hold
(after all, it shouldn't be necessary if you have a multi-button mouse since
click-and-hold, right-click, and control-click should all do the same thing) the
problem would go away.

The only problem here is that this doesn't work for the forward and back
buttons. They pull up the toolbar menu instead of the history for click-and-hold
or context-click. That's a problem, too, but in any case... if click-and-hold is
disabled, it should not be disabled for them.

Attachment: Crash log.

This is the crash log for the "triple-click" crash.

The crash is exceedingly timing-sensitive, and may sometimes occur when I do a
slow double-click.

This should be fixed, please update to 0.9a2 (or better yet the latest nightly).
