Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P4)

Description

[qaz2]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.06 (Macintosh; I; PPC, Nav)
BuildID:    2000061411

It is possible, while Mozilla is loading, to switch to another application.  If 
I send a QUIT AppleEvent from a program such as Memory Mapper or from a control 
strip module, Mozilla will crash.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Mozilla.
2.When you can, switch to a program capable of sending QUIT AppleEvents, and 
send one to Mozilla.

Actual Results:  Mozilla crashes.

Expected Results:  Mozilla should have quit.

moving out to future

I run into a similar error when starting Mozilla 1.2, but not 1.1.  I have
switched back to the 1.1 to avoid this problem.  Additionally, the force quit
option does not always quit the program, and you are stuck with unplugging the
machine.  This problem seems to be related to the Netscape Problem Report form
that starts up after a forced quit.  That seems to be what triggers the freeze
in 1.2.

By the definitions on <http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/bug_status.html#severity> and
<http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?format=guided>, crashing and dataloss
bugs are of critical or possibly higher severity.  Only changing open bugs to
minimize unnecessary spam.  Keywords to trigger this would be crash, topcrash,
topcrash+, zt4newcrash, dataloss.

[Greg K.]

[e-mail][e-mail], can you still reproduce this using a FizzillaMach
build on Mac OS X? (Mac OS 9 and earlier are no longer supported.)

Comment 15

[Jo Hermans]

I have never seen this on Mac OS X (with any application), so I guess it's a
works-for-me.

Comment 16

[Simon Paquet [:sipaq]]

mac classic only, marking WONTFIXm because mac classic is no longer supported.
Please reopen if you see this on other operating systems as well.
