814088 - Thunderbird 17 crashes when writing an email, with QuickText addon

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 813793

(Thunderbird :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Bogdan]

Steps to Reproduce:
 - open Thunderbird 17
 - select an email with multiple recipients and hit Reply All
 - enter some text in the message body
 - resize (expand) the list of recipients, in order to see all of them
 - TB crashes

Alternative steps to reproduce:
 - open TB 17
 - create a new (empty) email using the Write button
 - TB crashes

I can only select emails to read them, but I cannot write any new emails.

This problem only occurs in Windows 7 (64 bit). In Windows XP-SP3 it works without a problem (i.e., I could not reproduce this issue).

On my Windows 7 (32 bit), Thunderbird 17 also crashes a few seconds after I open a new composition window. Every time. The same in safe mode where all add-ons are disabled.

This problem makes the program unusable, and the priority should be "critical", instead of "normal".

Earlier I must have been mistaken, because now I see the problem disappears when the Quicktext extension is disabled, as suggested in <http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=2619881>. Sorry for the confusion.

I disabled the Quicktext extension and TB works as expected.
