321895 - Cancelling sending of email causes Mozilla to crash

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 238614

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Dale]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20051230
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20051230

I noticed this the other day but thought maybe it was me.  If I compose a email and then start to send it but deicide to stop it, by hitting the cancel button, to change something, ALL of Mozilla crashes.  Naturally I lose anything not saved as well.

I can reproduce this each time.  I use Gentoo Linux and am using a stable version of Mozilla.  The correct version is above.  I have a dial-up connection so all I have to do it catch it before it completes the sending of the email, which takes a while if there is a picture.  :(

I'm not a guru here.  I may have filed a bug before but it has been a while if I did.  I did a search and didn't see anything like this.  If you need more info, let me know.  Hope this is not a dup.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Compose email, pics may help it take longer.
2.Hit the send now button.
3.Hit the cancel button before it completes the send process.

Actual Results:  
It crashed, totally.

Expected Results:  
Just stop sending with a note it was not sent maybe. ???  Hopefully without a crash and loss of data too.  LOL

I'm leaving it as normal below here.  It does cause it to crash but it may be just me or it may be fixed in the next version.

Feel gree to change anything that needs changing.  You're the pros here.  LOL  This is the build config:

Maybe it is something to do with that.  Everything else works though.  Even OOo.

[Adam Guthrie]

Could you install with talkback and get a talkback ID for the crash? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Talkback

Comment 2

[Dale]

Is talkback a windows thing?  I use Gentoo Linux and I'm not sure how talkback works in Linux.  It sounds like it is done during the install but there is no USE option or anything that I can see.  The USE function is how Gentoo enables functions when compiling.  BTW.

I'd be glad to recompile it with a new option if you can tell me how to do this.  

Thanks
Dale

Comment 3

[Andrew Schultz]

if you want a stack from a build from source, you should build without -O2 ("-O1 -fno-inline" works) and without --enable-strip

But this is a dupe of an already-fixed bug.  SeaMonkey 1.0 beta and Thunderbird RCs won't crash.

Thanks for letting me know it is fixed.  Sorry it was a dup.  My search skills suck.  :(

At least it's fixed.  I guess it will be in a update soon, unless I go off the stable path.

Thanks
