action allows the user to obtain a compose window.  All actions that should
result in an error dialog that roughly says, "unable to create a mail compose
window, please try again"

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. specify a directory in the global preferences
2. specify the directory for autocomplete
3. use any means (menu, command key, reply button) to create new mail

Actual Results:  dialog with warning described earlier

Expected Results:  blank compose window

I can see this with a Mac installer build as well.  I'm rebuilding my debug
build on Mac now; this should allow us to diagnose a little better, I hope.

It's working in my debug Mozilla build; I suspect a packaging issue.

this looks like a dup of 79254 which ducarroz fixed yesterday.  Should work in
today's build.

I do not think this is a duplicate because I still see the problem in todays 
builds

Comment 5

[Srilatha Moturi]

The optimized build does not exhibit this problem

Comment 6

[Srilatha Moturi]

ccing dveditz and sfraser if they have any suggestions.

So have we come to the conclusion that this only happens in installed builds?

Comment 8

[Srilatha Moturi]

yes. DOes not happen in debug and opt builds

Comment 9

So you need to diff the files/folders in an optimized build and an installed 
build, and see what's missing. BBEdit can dump a folder listing into a text file, 
or use MPW.

This is a blocker for testing.  This needs to be fixed ASAP.

I downloaded today's build (MacNS6FullInstaller.sea.bin #2001051005) from
sweetlou.  The problem persists.

ldapAutoComplete.xpt is missing in the component directory in the istalled 
version of mozilla. We should have seen this problem on all platfroms, but I do 
not know why it works fine on Unix and Win.
Thanks to Simon Fraser for the fine suggestion
Thanks to Brian Nesse for helping me finding the solution.
Will post a patch right away.

[Srilatha Moturi]

ldapAutoComplete.xpt exists only on Mac. That explains why we do not see the 
problem on win and unix.

Comment 14

[Srilatha Moturi]

Attachment: added ldapAutoComplete.xpt to packages-mac
