73405 - opening 'password manager' causes crash

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 63373

(SeaMonkey :: Passwords & Permissions, defect)

Description

[Anthony Baxter]

On this build (linux, 03-25-05), every time I try to open
password manager (from tasks -> privacy and security -> password manager ->
view stored passwords), mozilla crashes. No diagnostics are evident - the
windows just go away.

Did this just start happening?  If so, jag, could this be due to your checkin 
for bug 73341?

I checked in at 03/25/2001 15:07, so I doubt it.

I just pulled and built the latest linux version and was not able to reproduce 
this problem.  tpreston, are you able to reproduce?

Comment 4

[Terri Preston]

Works for me linux build 2001032608, reporter did you have previously stored
passwords?

Comment 5

[Terri Preston]

Changing to new, if I have no passwords saved
Steps to reproduce
1.cleared my previously saved passwords) 
2.shut the browser down, start up again 
3.tasks->Privacy and security->Password Manger-> view stored passwords

Expected Results:
Password manager should open with no values

Actual Results:
Crashola

I'm still unable to reproduce, even with the steps given above.  But there is 
something very interesting in what you just said.  Namely deleting all existing 
passwords.  Due to a regression that occured yesterday (see bug 73341), it is no 
longer possible to delete any saved passwords or any sites from the list of 
sites for which passwords will never be saved.  So how are you deleting your 
passwords?  Have you checked before closing down the browser to see that the 
passwords indeed got deleted?

Interesting.  Take a look at bug 73347 which I just marked as a dup of this bug.  
It proves that others are seeing the problem as well.

Some points to note from that other bug report:

1. Problem is cross platform (the other bug report was against NT)
2. The other bug contains a stack trace.

So now why can't I reproduce this problem?

I can reproduce it consistently on my NT machine - if you want to come up and
have a look at it you can do so.

Ok - I initially got a crash at sourceforge. I have two different 
saved passwords for SF. When I went there, I got a popup window
asking which account I wanted to use (this is new, I don't recall
seeing it before). When I chose one, the browser crashed. It did
this each time. So I then went to the password manager to try and
remove one of the accounts, but it also crashes.

Comment 11

[Stephen P. Morse]

No, that's not new.  From the very beginning, password manager had the feature 
whereby if you have saved more than one login for the same site, you get a 
pop-up box asking which one you want to use.

Good news -- I just reproduced the crash and was able to debug it.  Also I now 
understand why it was so evasive for me and not for others.

Details in bug 63373.  In fact, this is a dup of that bug and I will so mark it.  
Also I have just posted a patch in that bug report.

Lots of verifications.

If I had to test stuff, it was on Win2K, build id 2001052404.
