59615 - browser locks up when left overnight

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Warren Harris]

For the last 3 days I've left seamonkey running on my machine overnight (near
RTM build from sweetlou). When I've come in in the morning, the browser is
locked up -- the windows won't repaint, and nothing will revive it. I have to
kill it with taskmanager. (Taskmanager shows that it's not really taking up that
much memory (33M) at the time it deadlocks.)

Chris Waterson said he's been seeing the same thing, and suspected that it was
related to the screen saver running. I am running a screen saver which doesn't
display anything, but just blanks out the monitor.

I was also suspicious that it could be related to my SERA connection timing out
since each morning I've been timed out of SERA, and the SERA reconnect dialog is up.

I'm going to download the latest and leave seamonkey running again tonight --
this time without SERA running, and without the screen saver. It could be that
something else is just deadlocking after a while.

Forgot to add that the browser appears to be sitting in a dialog box each
morning when it's locked up. I can see the outline of the dialog box window, and
its contents don't repaint either. The dialog seems to be attached to the mail
window.

I just disconnected from SERA and the mail window popped up a dialog that said
"Unknown error" -- I suspect from the broken network connection I had back to
the imap server.

I'm not going to let this browser sit again to see if I can reproduce it (RTM
bits from 11/9). This time I've already quit SERA so we shouldn't get the dialog
from imap. I also killed my screen saver.

Cc'ing mscott for imap.

warren, please reopen if you're still seeing this. I haven't had any problems
with Mozilla locking up when left running overnight in the last few months.
