49078 - Case of Unresolvable assertion involving switching folders.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 49051

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect, P3)

Description

[laurel]

Found while verifying bug #43987
Seen with aug15 commercial m18 builds, NT 4.0 and Mac OS 9.0
Haven't yet reproduced on linux.

Not sure who this would ultimately go to...

Steps:
1.  Launch IMAP profile, from browser go to mail window.
2.  Login to IMAP inbox, let thread pane load. (my inbox has approx 75 messages)
3.  Select a message in the thread pane, then Edit|Select All.  All messages
highlighted.
4.  Select a different and empty folder.
5.  Select a different and populated folder and select a message.

Result:  
Error dialog appears: "###!!! ASSERTION:SetBounds Size <0: 'aRect.width >=0 &&
aRect.height >=0' file
d:\builds\seamonkey\mozilla\layout\xul\base\src\nsBox.cpp, line 532

If I choose Ignore in the assertion dialog, I get the same assertion again.
If I choose Retry in the assertion dialog, I crash.
If I choose Abort, well, yes, I exit.

similar to bug 45091?
We've been getting quite a few bugs filed on these assertions.  Bug 45091 is 
marked blocker already by mscott.

The bug lisa mentioned as possible duplicate is bug 49051.

I can also get this assertion very easily when closing or opening the message
pane and selecting a different message.

[lchiang]

ack, I got my numbers mixed up.

I'm going to mark this dogfood.  You can't really abort or retry the assertion 
(ie. exit and crash, respectively).  Ignoring the assert can be tedious since I 
believe the assert comes up many times.

The more I use today's build, the more I'm seeing this when selecting messages.
Many scenarios which seem to hit the condition ... thought it might be
attachment related, but don't know.

Yes, the assertion comes up a lot of times... when hitting this on mac, you drop
into macsbug with the assertion hits listed -- I'm seeing about 6 hits each time
on the assertion.

All platforms, another scenario which will get this assertion every time: open a
message (plain text, attachments or no attachments, just a plain jane message)
to a standalone message window.
