312544 - Insert Character window won't close

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 257185

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Jon]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051006 Firefox/1.4.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051006 Firefox/1.4.1

Using Thunderbird Beta 2, the 'Insert Character' window to insert an accented
character into a message often freezes when I attempt to close it. Once it's
frozen it can only be killed by exiting Thunderbird. The problem seems to occur
on more than 50% of attempts to close, and it doesn't seem to make any
difference whether I use the X button or the 'Close' button to do this.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click 'Write' to compose a new message
2. In the compose window go to the main pane
3. Choose the 'Insert' menu, and click 'Characters and Symbols...'
4. Attempt to close the 'Insert Character' window

Actual Results:  
Insert Character window freezes (no further actions can be performed on it).
Thunderbird continues to work normally otherwise, and, in fact, further 'Insert
Character' windows can be opened, which will work (until I try to close them).

Expected Results:  
Window should have closed...

bug 178812 comment 5 & 7?
