Crash when closing a loading rss window

[simonp]

Ubuntu 6.0 RC
mozilla-thunderbird-1.5.0.7-0ubuntu

1) Find an RSS feed and add it to News and blogs. eg. http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot
2) When the feed is load with news, double-click one (news) to open it in a new window.
3) Before the page load, close the new window

I can confirm that this happens to me with http://www.linuxtoday.com/backend/biglt.rss

I'm using Edgy fully updated

I created and installed debug symbols using the directions on:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash

and recreated the crash, so hopefully this report adds some value.

Could you please confirm if this is still happening?

[Danny van Heumen (danny.vanheumen)]

I can confirm this for:
Ubuntu Hardy (fully updated) + Thunderbird 2.0.0.17 (from Mozilla website, not Ubuntu repository)

I cannot confirm this for Ibex, firefox 3.0.5. And you can't double click on a listing in the bookmarks news feed menu... Only single click.

Repeat, cannot confirm. Perhaps it's fixed on this version firefox.

Brittany Dunlap, this is a Thunderbird issue, not a Firefox issue.

Anyone volunteers to test the tbird 3.0 b1 in
http://launchpad.net/~fta/+archive and report back whether this crash is
fixed there?

Thanks!

As far as I can tell, it looks to me like the *bug is fixed*.

I've installed Thunderbird 3.0 Beta 1 on a system running Ubuntu Intrepid. This system has never run any version of Thunderbird, so it should be a completely clean test.

At first I thought the bug still existed. I tried about 10 to 15 times subsequently to reproduce the bug. After trying for several times, it seemed to close unexpectedly. But I couldn't find a clear sign that thunderbird actually crashed. So now I think that I just accidentally pushed 'CTRL+W' twice, where the second CTRL+W closes the main window, since this is the active window after closing the news reader window.

I know for sure that simply closing the reader window before the feed is completely loaded does not crash Thunderbird like it would with Thunderbird 2.0.18.

Is this only reproducible in Hardy?

most likely reproducible on any tbird 2.0.0.x build

i dont know if this is the same crash you are talking about but:

sometimes (and i think it is only if thunderbird has crashed just before), when starting thunderbird it downloads rss news it already has downloaded and i have them twice then (or three times, four times, ... when it happens again).

if this is what you are talking about i would like to help debug. if not, is this already reported elsewhere or should i open a new report?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner.
There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test the current Ubuntu development version (10.04). If you can test it, and it is still an issue, we would appreciate if you could upload updated logs by running apport-collect 67451, and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
