Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 304955

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Thomas Rutter]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20050815 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20050815 Firefox/1.0+

I have tried replying to one particular email message and every time I do,
thunderbird crashes.

The crash occurs when I am typing into the mail compose window.

I am placing my replies in amongst the original sender's text (breaking the blue
line) and also pasting text from the clipboard into the message.

See talkback incident IDs.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click reply to reply to message.
2. Delete the part at the top that says "XXXXX wrote:
3. Start typing replies in amongst the original text, breaking the blue line
4. Paste some text from the clipboard into the message
5. Repeat 3 and 4 for a while
Actual Results:  
After about 5-10 minutes of typing, thunderbird crashes and the message that was
composed is lost.

I tried composing that reply several times, and Thunderbird crashed every time.

Sometimes it crashed immediately after pasting text from the clipboard into the
message.

Sometimes the crash happened when scrolling down.

Expected Results:  
Not crash
