32994 - mozilla crashes after resize of windows start bar

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 32993

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Douglas Lee]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.72 [en] (Win95; U)
BuildID:    2000030317

when i accidentally resized my windows start bar, mozilla stopped responding 
completely.  it froze my windows as well (ctrl-alt-del showed that explorer was 
not responding).  i couldn't restore the size of my start bar as explorer was 
non-responsive, but only after i closed mozilla did explorer come back

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. launch mozilla
2. with the start bar visible and in "always on top" mode, resize the windows 
start bar 
3. windows explorer (desktop) now freezes; desktop icons are no longer visible 
and the start bar can't be resized again

Actual Results:  after i resized the start bar, the resize cursor (north-south 
direction) remained visible.  i could not resize the start bar, i could not use 
the Windows keyboard key to open the start menu.  it's not until i closed 
mozilla did explorer start responding again

Expected Results:  previous versions of Netscape have the browser refresh the 
contents of the screen to accommodate the new space afforded to it.  mozilla 
just freezes Windows explorer (not completely, as i could shut down mozilla)

start bar must be in "always on top" mode
