59507 - RTM Crash (Mac) #3: The browser crashes after installing the modern-mozillium skin [@ nsCSSFrameConstructor::ContentInserted]

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Skinability, defect, P3)

Description

[Patty Mac]

Platform: Mac; OS: 9.0 (Installer; Recommended In..2000-11-08-00-MN6).

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to sweetlou..../use installer, recommend in...2000-11-08-00-MN6).
2. creat a new profile name (ie, 11-08-00-MN6(rec))
3. Type this url: http://gooey/client/themes
4. Look for modern-mozillium theme and click the install button.
5. The browser crashes.
NOTE: I can reproduce twice in a row when I creat a new profile name. After that,
the browser does not crash any more. In order for me to reproduce it again,
I need to delete this build and empty on the trash. Go to sweetlou to get
the build again, please repeat the step#1 again. Then creat a new profile name
(ie, 11-08-00-MN6abc). Then repeat the step#3 and #4. 
Note: The browser crashes. It seems this time I always can reproduce. I already
reproduce 4 times in a row, and the browser still crashes.

Below here is the talkback report:

Patty Mac, we have a component for theme related problems. It's called Themes.
Does this problem happen with the supported themes (modern or classic?) In the
future can you make available to the Mozilla community testcases for bug reports
you file on Browser General.  Thanks.
This bug belongs to the Themes component or possibly (from the stack trace it
looks like possibly) layout or style system.

[Patty Mac]

Asa, this problem does not happen with the supported themes (modern or classic).
It seems to happen in this pacticular theme only.

Comment 3

[lchiang]

I'll change this to themes and assign to hangas for now.

Comment 4

[Doron Rosenberg (IBM)]

does this also cause trouble on other platforms and/or on trunk?

Comment 5

[Patty Mac]

No, this does not happen on other platforms like linux or windows. That's why
why I only indicate Mac, OS: 9.0 in the description section. I haven't verified
on the trunk yet.

[hangas]

Skin switching bugs go to skinability.

Comment 7

[Jay Patel [:jay]]

adding topcrash keyword and [@ nsCSSFrameConstructor::ContentInserted
] for tracking.  this is the #2 topcrash for official RTM build on Mac.

Comment 8

[Jay Patel [:jay]]

This is more like the #3 topcrasher for Mac.  Here are some URLs and Comments
from user talkback submissions that might help:

Comment:  downloading a "theme" from Netscape ftp.
Comment:  Downloading a theme for Netscape 6
Comment:  loadings new themes
URL: javascript:installTheme('skypilot.jar'

Comment 9

[lchiang]

We should see if we can target this for a next release.  Nominating.

Ok, so I verified this crash under Mac 6.01 RTM. Using a commercial Mac build
from today (2001022113) and the same steps, I don't get the crash. Marking W4M
