(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect)

Description

[Chris Pepper]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/523.10.6 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0.4 Safari/523.10.6
Build Identifier: 2.0.0.9

Thunderbird was fine, and I switched away. When I tried to switch back, it didn't draw menus or windows. When I hid everything in front of it, I was able to see the Thunderbird window, with a SPoD.

Sample & ASP report attached.

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Switch out of Thunderbird.
2.Do stuff elsewhere.
3.Try to switch back.
Actual Results:  
Couldn't activate Thunderbird. Dock showed "Application Not Responding" & "Force Quit".

Expected Results:  
Thunderbird should remain responsive & accessible.

I'll attach the report from when I Force Quit (too big for a text field).

3466 nsMsgDBFolder::WriteToFolderCache(nsIMsgFolderCache*, int)
  3264 NS_NewDirectoryIterator(nsIDirectoryIterator**)
    3251 nsPersistentFileDescriptor::operator=(nsFileSpec const&)
      3111 FSNewAlias

It mostly looks like it's doing work, although it might be foolish in what work it chooses to do.

do you still see this problem using Firefox 3?
If you do, please comment.
If you do not, please close with resolution set to WORKSFORME.

devs, see comment 3

Chris, have you seen this again in thunderbird 2?

Comment 7

[Chris Pepper]

Not recently, at least.

Comment 8

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

Magnus, does comment 3 warrant a closer look?

Comment 9

[Magnus Melin [:mkmelin]]

Probably irrelevant since we don't use nsFileSpec anymore.
