305950 - crashes when receiving mail while logged in with remote desktop

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Jeremy Burgess]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; (R1 1.5))
Build Identifier: version 1.0.6 (20050716)

I frequently log into my computer at home via Window's Remote Desktop.  Quite 
often, if I receive new mail while logged in remotely, thunderbird will crashed 
with the "thundirbird has experienced a serious error and needs to close" 
error.  I will have to go in and manually end the task and reopen thundirbird.  
This only occurs when I have received new mail, if no new mail has arrived 
there is never a problem.  This may be a problem dealing with the notification 
icon, as it also happens if I don't have the notification popup enabled.  It 
seems more likely to happen if you minimize the remote window.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have Thunderbird running.
2. Log into the system using Remote Desktop
3. Receive new mail.

Actual Results:  
Thunderbird crashes with the "thunderbird has experienced a serious error and 
needs to close" error.

Expected Results:  
Properly notified me of new mail, and remained active.

I am logging into a Windows XP machine with a Windows 2000 machine.

closing WORKSFORME.  I do this quite often with many versions including trunk and have never seen this problem.

Jeremy, please reopen the bug if you see the problem on a current version started in thunderbird safe mode.
