345604 - Assertions when trying to use events

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: DOM: Events, defect, P5)

Description

[Chris Thomas (CTho) [formerly [e-mail] [e-mail]]]

###!!! ASSERTION: GC preservation didn't work: 'Not Reached', file i:/smtrunk2/m
ozilla/dom/src/base/nsJSUtils.cpp, line 300
###!!! ASSERTION: listener wasn't preserved properly: 'eventListener', file i:/s
mtrunk2/mozilla/content/events/src/nsEventListenerManager.cpp, line 1735

I'm trying to dispatch events from the tabbrowser, with a listener in the sidebar.  As far as I can tell, my listeners are not being called.

This happens in my windows non-cairo trunk build (the patch I'm using is broken by other cairo bugs in cairo builds so I haven't tested there).

With a patch by CTho, I did get these two assertions in a Cairo SeaMonkey build, don't know much about what's going on, but cairo/non cairo shouldn't matter with whatever the underlying bug is.
