Build ID: 20010918003
Reproducible: Always
Steps:
1. Install new build with Turbo ON.
2. Use the browser ... send some mail and stuff
3. Click on Windows Start button, and select Shut Down.
4. Click OK when presented witht the dialogue.
Results: Frequently does not allow Win 98 to shut down, and always adds a few
minutes to shut down process (if it works).
Note: If I disable QuickLaunch, before shutting down, the system seems to
shut-down as expected.

Need to reproduce on other machines - Doron? Part of the shutdown time may be
mail cleanup, and we may be responding to shutdown by only closing windows, when
we really need to shutdown. ->law
I installed the latest branch bits and cannot reproduce the problem.
Jaime, do I need to do something specific to produce the error? I tried various
combinations of leaving browser windows open, mail windows open, no windows
open, etc. But maybe it's something specific like leaving a Mail compose window
open or something that I didn't trigger.
I will be looking at the code that handles shutdown to see if it looks like it
does the right thing.
We have no code that handles WM_QUERYENDSESSION or WM_ENDSESSION (the messages
Win32 sends at system shutdown). This means we do the default, which is
nothing (so Windows ends up closing the open windows and terminates the
process).

Could someone in QA please try to reproduce this? cc tpreston, gbush

I do not believe this is a turbo problem specifically. My Win 98 Machine almost
never shuts down (5% of the time it does) properly. This has been occuring
since well before turbo, and I know it has on Jaime's machine as well. I have
noticed no difference in the frequency of failing to shut down since running turbo.
Win98 users are frankly use to this suckage and I don't see this as a stop ship,
even if we do occasionally get in the way of shutdown - i.e. I don't think we're
the only app that Win98 chokes on at shutdown (if we are one at all).

... before shutting down. This is my current workaround.

Placing "Turbo+" in Status Whiteboard, and marking nsbranch+ for Trudelle's
short list query. Pls remove Turbo+ and nsbranch- if this is no longer on the
short list.

If the case still is that we can not successfully reproduce this, than maybe, we
should push this one off after 1.0. That being said, I am still seeing this with
Multiple Profilles, and it may cause some memory issues, too.

I don't think we should ignore this bug. It is actually worse that the user can
shutdown most of the time! We have to do something to detect system shutdown
and handle it *properly*. Once we're handling it properly (i.e., alerting the
user that they have unsaved mail messages, composer documents, etc.) then this
bug will be fixed.
There is another bug to track the bigger issue (bug 14807).
No longer depends on: 14807

This is a major defect in our most important performance work. We can't wait
until 1.0 to address it. ->p1/0.9.9

from peter's last message, this sounds like it pretty important. how are we
doing on it?

We need a fix for 14807, first (which may fully take care of this, too).
Depends on: 14807

He did, quietly, target it for mozilla1.0 fairly recently.
It's definitely on his list, and my list is too long already.

ADT triage team needs info: qawanted. Under what circumstances does this still
happen? What is the impact on typical users?

I do not see this problem with Win98 or any other Win OS. Sorry- not sure what
may be on Jaime's machine to cause this

removing plus for renomination. If anyone can reliably reproduce this, please
get sufficient steps listed here.

This bug also affects Mozilla add-ons, and does not allow an XPCOM service to
implement a clean shutdown. The system shutdown should trigger an
"xpcom-shutdown" event which services can use to shut themselves down.
Enigmail is a Mozilla add-on which opens a hidden console window to run PGP/GPG.
The console window is freed on an XPCOM shutdown. However, in turbo mode, this
does not happen and causes Windows 98 to hang for several seconds during system
shutdown. Here's the bug report:

I'm seeing this as a regression with the 1.1-alpha builds (2002-06-11? thru
2002-06-20) on WinNT. I did not have this problem with the 1.0 branch prior to
1.1-alpha.
