[feisty] mozilla-thunderbird-bin crashed [@nsAccessibleWrap::GetAtkObject]

[Damon Lynch]

Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird

mozilla-thunderbird-bin crashed with SIGSEGV in __kernel_vsyscall(), when clicking on item in sent folder
Click on item in sent folder, as part of local folders. It is reproducible every time. It also does this with the standard mozilla thunderbird 1.5 tarball downloaded straight from the mozilla site. The same tarball would never crash under Ubuntu LTS (dapper drake).

Unlike other bug reports that appear related, items in none of my IMAP folders are affected.

Thank you Damon for submitting this report.

As it seems to be reproducible can you provide us a test case or a step by step instructions to reproduce it here.
Also which extensions or plugins do you have enabled?

Thanks in advance.

Retraced Thread Stacktrace

[Damon Lynch (dlynch3)]

Thank you for responding so promptly. I have further investigated this bug and have been able to narrow down how to reproduce it. My thunderbird mail configuration is:

* two IMAP accounts
* one pop account (gmail)
* local folders

The problem occurs when I click on the sent folder in local folders. It has never occurred with any other folder, and it never occurred under Ubuntu Dapper Drake LTS (until a few days ago I had both LTS and Feisty Fawn on this computer).

For me to reproduce the bug I do this:

1. Start thunderbird. Welcome to Mozilla Thunderbird! message is displayed in message pane.
2. Click on any folder or subfolder, as long as it is not Sent in local folders
3. Look for the message "Loading message..." to be displayed.
4. Click on Sent folder in local items
5. Notice "Loading message..." appear briefly before hard crash. There is no opportunity to click on a message or do anything before the crash.

It does NOT crash if you:

6. Start thunderbird. Welcome to Mozilla Thunderbird! message is displayed in message pane.
7. Click on Sent folder in local folders before clicking on any other folder
8. Click on a message in the Sent folder

However repeating steps 2-5 will cause the crash, after having done 6-8.

Extensions I have:
View headers toggle button 1.5.2
Xpunge 0.2.2
Display quota 0.1.10.2
ConfigDate 0.3.9
Display mail user agent extension 1.3
Nostalgy 0.2.1
English (GB) language pack 1.5.0.10

I have included a command line stacktrace of steps 1-5.

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

Damon, do you have any extensions installed?

[Damon Lynch (dlynch3)]

Yes, as noted in the message prior to your one, extensions I have:

View headers toggle button 1.5.2
Xpunge 0.2.2
Display quota 0.1.10.2
ConfigDate 0.3.9
Display mail user agent extension 1.3
Nostalgy 0.2.1
English (GB) language pack 1.5.0.10

[Damon Lynch (dlynch3)]

I think this bug can be closed, as it does not affect Thunderbird 2.0x and therefor Gutsy Gibbon is fine.

[Micah Gersten (micahg)]

Closing per user reporting no problems with Thunderbird 2.
