54397 - switching skins causes some "blank-out" in 3 pane and compose

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 43350

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect, P2)

Description

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

this is a minor bug, but here goes:

start up messenger and get a mail compose window going.  address the message to
someone, and start a body for the email.  in messenger, select a message and see
it in the message pane.

when you switch themes, the "body" part of messenger will go blank.  (the
headers remain) and the message you were composing goes blank.

I'm seeing similar behaviour, and not when switching skins (but using Modern).
Occasionally when reading mailnews and switching messages or folders, the
headers will go blank and not return.  I can switch to 'all' headers, then back
to 'normal' and they'll be there again.  Might be different enough to warrant
its own bug, but could be related because it's in a non-default skin.

The symptom Peter Janes described is covered with bug 39655.

Well, since bug 54812 has been marked as a duplicate of this, I will just say
here that this is not a minor bug.  Mozilla on Linux keeps crashing when I click
on links, and I hope it is fixed before rtm.
