54812 - Click on a story on the Meerkat page and Mozilla exits

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 54397

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Stephen Moehle]

If you click on any of the links for the stories on the "Meerkat: An Open Wire
Service" page at the above URL, Mozilla will simply exit.  It does not seem to
crash in that no Talkback is generated nor does it dump core.  If I right click
on the links and pick "Open Link in New Window", the story loads ok.

I get some stderr messages, but they do not seem particularly helpful:

Document http://www.phpbuilder.com/forum/read.php3?num=3&id=101660&thread=101656
loaded successfully
Setting content window
*** Pulling out the charset
in SetSecurityButton

Tested in Mozilla 093009 on Linux.

I'm also seeing this on Linux build 2000093009. It may be a red herring, but I
spied some ILAYER tags in this page's source.

I tried it again on Mozilla 100215 on Linux and it is still failing.  This time,
however, it actually crashed and generated talkback incidents.  Unfortunately, I
did not get an ID for the incidents.  Their dates are 10/02/00 7:53pm and 7:55pm
and have http://www.oreillynet.com/meerkat/ as the URL.

An earlier 10/02 Mozilla build on NT worked ok.  I also believe that this is a
relatively recent Linux regression.

you can start talkback manually, i think the file name is talkback in the
components dir.
