311109 - uncaught exception: [Exception... "Unexpected error" nsresult: "0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED)" generated almost everywhere

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Gérard Talbot]

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Unexpected error"  nsresult:
"0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED)"  location: "JS frame :: ...]
is being generated almost everywhere with today's build and breaking DHTML
functions.

Steps to reproduce:
1- Load provided URL
2- Open Javascript console and clear messages
3- Play around with the form: try setting column alignment, row alignment, table
border, cell border, caption side, collapse a row, etc.. 

Actual results: the functions fail to accomplish their expected tasks and
typical/constant error message (uncaught exception, "Unexpected error" 
nsresult: "0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED)" fill the js console

Expected results: function succeeds without js error message

Reproducible: Always 
Seamonkey 1.1a rv: 1.9a1 build 2005100405 under XP Pro SP2 here

Note:
- Even when filing this very bug, the js console reported:
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Unexpected error"  nsresult:
"0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED)"  location: "JS frame ::
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/js/productform.js :: get_selection :: line 363" 
data: no]
- Other files where I notice this happening: 
http://www.gtalbot.org/DHTMLSection/TableRowColumnCollapse.html
http://www.gtalbot.org/DHTMLSection/AdvancedCSSButtons.html
and possibly other webpages
- The bug is not happening is Firefox 1.4.1 rv: 1.8b5 build 20051003
- This must be a recent regression
- I can attach a reduced testcase if needed.

I could not find a duplicate for this.

Looks like bug 311090, too. The problem with https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/js/
productform.js is reported in bug 311104.

Thanks for reporting that info, Erik. Since both bug 311104 and bug 311090 have
been fixed with checked in patches, I'll check again the webpages with
tomorrow's build.
