Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060130 SeaMonkey/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060130 SeaMonkey/1.0

Clicking the "details" tab (a JavaScript-driven form) from PubMed (<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi>) often triggers a crash.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi
2. Submit query (optional).
3. Click the "details" tab.

Actual Results:  
Crash.


Windows reports "pipboot.dll" as the faulting component in the crash report (xxxx_appcompat.txt).  I'm not sure what the variable is that only causes it to  crash sometimes.

It is worth mentioning that I have "security.warn_submit_insecure" set to true (which is the default setting, but I suspect it is frequently disabled by most/many users).

It further appears that this behavior is only observed when more than one tab is open.

Do you crash with a clean profile?

Can you try a trunk build:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/latest-trunk/
and send in a talkback report if that crashes?

Yes (just tested).  I left all of the settings at their defaults, and with https://buzilla.mozilla.org in one browser tab, opened a new tab with the URL in the bug report.  Clicking the "details" form button caused a crash on the first attempt.  That was using the same Seamonkey release as originally reported (1.0).

I have not had an opportunity to try that yet.

The problem is still present with Seamonkey 1.01.  I do not want to download and test a nightly build unless others are unable to reproduce the bug.

1.1.9 doesn't crash. Could you please see if you still experience this issue with a newer release of SeaMonkey? Feel free to reopen if you do.
