534842 - attempt to install English GB dictionary as extension via Get Add-ons tab search results causes crash

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

[bugzilla]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.15) Gecko/2009102814 Ubuntu/8.10 (intrepid) Firefox/3.0.15
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091130 Thunderbird/3.0

Downloaded and installed English (GB) version of TB. 
no dictionary present. Used extension manager to locate dictionary and, during install, the application crashes with an error in the X subsystem.

The program 'thunderbird-bin' received an X Window System error.            
This probably reflects a bug in the program.                                
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.    
  (Details: serial 49719 error_code 2 request_code 53 minor_code 0)         
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;     
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.            
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line               
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful            
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

there have been some dictionary install crashes. I don't recall that en-gb was one of them
a hodge podge list from the past year:

Sounds like this *might* have something to do with either xpinstall or the extension manager.

Comment 3

rs: nah, this could be anything, it could be em that is tickling a theme bug in oxygen.so, or it could be something else.

Reporter: please try disabling your Qt theme.

Also, please read the instructions you get from the console, specifically this portion that you helpfully included:

>   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line               
>   option to change this behavior.

http://developer.mozilla.org/En/How_to_get_a_stacktrace_for_a_bug_report#Linux
has instructions for various distros, you will want to install symbols for 
at least:

libxcb-xlib, libX11, libXrender, libQtGui, oxygen, libgdk-x11, libbonoboui
