Using 2000-04-21-10m16 commercial build mac OS 9.0

Ref bug #32101

Fix for crash in bug #32101 was to remove access to Save As from View Source
window. That's fine on win32 and linux, but Mac still has accessible save menu
item (a browser menu item) "Save Page As" when focus is in a view source window
of a mail message.  When attempt to save from a mail message source window, a
crash occurs.  

Note:  crash does not occur when attempting to save either a page loaded in
browser or when invoking the menu item from a view source window for a browser
page (the latter doesn't even invoke the process).

1.  Go to mail window, login to mail account, select a mail message.
2.  View|Page Source. (can do this from either 3-pane mail window or standalone
message window, no difference in result)
3.  Click in view source window to make sure focus is there and select menu item
File|Save Page As.  Save the message (makes no difference if you let default
name ride or change name).

Result:  Crash occurs.

Will provide talkback report and/or macsbug report.

I think this is working now. Can this be retested. Thanks!

Using 2000-07-24-08 commercial build with mac OS 9.0 I see two differing results
when trying to Save Page As from a View Source window for a mail message. 
1.  I get an alert: Unknown Error  upon clicking the Save button (usually if
changing the filename and or location).
2.  I crash (more consistent if I use default filename&location). Talkback will
be attached when I can get to the server.

Reopening...

Double-checked NT and linux. Am seeing the same thing. 
Removing pp keyword and changed summary.

Hi Bill,
This is an issue with View Source - Save As. It just gets populated from a 
mail/news url, but the way its called is much the same way as view source is 
for a web page.

We recommend that if this crash still exists, you just remove the menu item so 
user can't do this.  Reassigning to mail

reassigning to rhp.  We probably shouldn't have any menus in here. I noticed 
that the browser doesn't. So perhaps they changed their code and we need to do 
the same.

Yes, crash still exists using mac OS 9.0 with aug 18 commercial build.  Just
like I described in my July24 comments.   Will attach a talkback report from
today's build.
 
This crash and the issue of menus in the page source window have come and gone a
million times in seamonkey. At one point in the past when rhp took out the menus
for the view source window, it still was able to be accessed on mac because the
menus from browser took over the mail message view source window.  Please
consider Mac as a different bird when fixing this.   Please let's get it over
with once and for all.

Note: aug18 build crashes on NT and linux, too.  Again, this has come and gone
throughout seamonkey history.

bug about crash on pc was already evalutated and left wontfix because assumption
was there would be no menus in this window.  Ref bug 38117.
I already fixed this when I removed the menus.

Sorry, this Mac crash is still present using aug30 commercial build. 
Menus not present in pc (NT and linux), but are accessible on mac -- like I
mentioned in my comments from 08-18.

Rich, how did the test go on the Mac using the browser's version?
Whiteboard: [b3 need info]
It is crashing like this for mail. There seems to be a difference in behavior 
on the view source mail window for the mac and all other platforms. My mac 
build is pretty horked right now and I am down to repulling a fresh tree :-( 
Ugh.

Jussi, can Dagley look at this one?
Whiteboard: [b3 need info] → [nsbeta3-]
With a build today (9/7/00) I tried this on a mozilla debug build and it worked 
fine :-( Sooo...this may be one of those issues that only surfaces in optimized 
builds, but not sure.

Same crash, sep7 commercial build mac OS 9.0.

Is this still a crasher?  If so, why is it futured?
