45576 - Hang on joining #mozillazine {suspect infinite reflow

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Other Applications :: ChatZilla, defect, P3)

Description

[David Krause]

Overview Description:
Very strange I can join most channels fine, but when I join #mozillazine,
chatzilla just hangs.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start chatzilla
2. /attach moznet
3. /join #mozillazine

Actual Results:
Joining appears in the window, but nothing else happens.  Then mozilla just
hangs.  Nothing appears in the userlist or channel window.  However, the title
is shown and the join does happen (verified with another client).

Expected Results:
Join should happen and not hang

Reproducibility:
everytime

David: if you still see this bug in a recent build please reopen.

Comment 4

[David Krause]

I'm going to leave this bug closed for now.  But there was really something
strange going on here.  The topic was changed in #mozillazine and this problem
went away.  Timeless changed it back to test it and the problem was seen again.
 But if we created a new channel with the same topic there was no problem.  So
what needs to happen is to get rginda and some others together and then change
the topic back to what it originally was when this problem occured.  You can see
the full topic below in my debug messages.

rginda - find me (Master_D) or timeless on irc and we can try to figure this out.

[Robert Ginda]

This might be an infinite-reflow type problem.  I tried editing chatzilla.xul to
simulate the setup, but couldn't get it to hang.  Things like window size,
slider position, etc. all might have something to do with this.

I'll attach my mocked up chatzilla.xul, feel free to overwrite yours (after
making a backup copy) and try different things.

[David Krause]

We had some fun playing with this in #mozillazine.  If a certain topic is set
then chatzilla hangs when joining.  If the same topic is set in another channel
chatzilla works fine.  So this bug only appears in the #mozillazine channel and
only with certain topics.  Here are the current known problem topics:

And I'm adding it back in.
Please don't do that again.
This won't be fixed by nsbeta3, so I'm also removing the nsbeta3 keyword.

Removing relnote keywords, as Netscape 6 (to which these apply) is not shipping 
with Chatzilla. Please undo this if I have mis-assumed something :-)

relnote-devel: ~we suspect that xul can go into infinite reflow loops which 
will lock the browser up [and kill it?]~
relnote-user ~if you encounter this, please attach whatever info you can to our 
bug, we are very sorry for your experience~

marking mozilla 1.0 because around 0.9 release we need to try to triage this 
and send it away from chatzilla [it's not really chatzilla's fault]

Comment 20

[Kurt Weinschenker]

Tried to get into BugAThon with Chatzilla, found it routinely crashed my machine.

iMac DV, Mac OS 9.0.4, MRJ 2.2.4, carbon libs 1.2.  Mozilla build was Mozilla
Mac-Trunk 2001013004.

Request "crash" keyword be added, in light of how it hangs the machine.  MacsBug
stdlog to follow, seems to bear out everyone's comments so far.

Comment 23

[Blake Ross]

Chatzilla is not included in commercial release builds.

Comment 24

[Robert Ginda]

adding the crop="right" attribute to the boxes in the status area probably fixed
this.  I'm going to close it.

If anyone actually sees this again, please reopen.
