751094 - Calendars stopped working after upgrade of Thunderbird

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Calendar :: General, defect)

Description

[Dag Bjerkeli]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:12.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/12.0
Build ID: 20120424151700

Steps to reproduce:

Updated my system, Fedora 16 x86_64 and thereby was thunderbird upgraded to version 12, and with that the plugins. Did a reboot.


Actual results:

Calendars stopped working. Both built in calendar and integration with Google. Tab has no title, and needs several clicks to close the tab. Unable to delete Google calendar. Even if "Provider for Google Calendar 0.13" is turned off (and restarted thunderbird).

Starting thunderbird from the command line gives me this error message when I opens the calendar tab:

<exception>
-- Exception object --
+ fileName (string) 'chrome://lightning/content/messenger-overlay-sidebar.js'
+ lineNumber (number) 439
*
-- Stack Trace --
ltnSwitch2Calendar()@chrome://lightning/content/messenger-overlay-sidebar.js:439

openTab("calendar",[object Object])@chrome://messenger/content/tabmail.xml:548
oncommand([object XULCommandEvent])@chrome://messenger/content/messenger.xul:1
</exception>

Re-enabling the Google integration gives me the dates with events highlighted in top left corner but clicking (left/right) or double clicking does not give more details.


Expected results:

Normal behaviour, tasks showing up in the calendar. In the same way as before.

According to information in Bug 751110 the Lightning package provided by Fedora is broken. 

A workaround is using the official Lightning package from Mozilla instead. For Mozilla Thunderbird 12 use Lightning 1.4: https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/addon/lightning/versions/1.4

Could you confirm this works for you too?

Performing the steps outlined in 751110; rpm -e thunderbird-lightning-1.4-1.fc16.x86_64,
and installing lightning-1.4-sm+tb-linux.xpi downloaded from mozilla.

This solves the problem.

I also did a remove/disable of the add ons Google Contacts and provider for google calendar. Reinstalled afterwards.
