I've been noticing this for a (short) while. I don't know (= didn't check (yet)) if this test (bug 448343) is "at fault", or if it could be a "TraceMonkey" landing regression, or the like ? ***** The location is always the same; but the reported error varies "a little".

Fwiw, here are the tests which should happen instead of the error: [ *** 1594 INFO TEST-PASS | chrome://mochikit/content/chrome/suite/common/tests/chrome/test_idcheck.xul | check id: editor.xul#bundle_utilityOverlay *** 1595 INFO TEST-PASS | chrome://mochikit/content/chrome/suite/common/tests/chrome/test_idcheck.xul | check id: preferences.xul#prefDialog *** 1596 INFO TEST-PASS | chrome://mochikit/content/chrome/suite/common/tests/chrome/test_idcheck.xul | check id: preferences.xul#bundle_prefutilities *** 1597 INFO TEST-PASS | chrome://mochikit/content/chrome/suite/common/tests/chrome/test_idcheck.xul | check id: preferences.xul#prefsTree ]

Karsten, any hint on how to better diagnose, maybe fix, this ?

I may (or not) have found a clue while looking for something else: All 3 boxes currently log: (when this bug doesn't occur) [ *** 891 INFO TEST-PASS | chrome://mochikit/content/chrome/suite/common/tests/chrome/test_idcheck.xul | check id: navigator.xul#nav-buttons-box Double id='contentAreaContextSet' detected in chrome://navigator/content/navigator.xul: Tree 0: popupset contentAreaContextSet [27] window main-window [21] #document undefined [0] Tree 1: popupset contentAreaContextSet [2] vbox sidebar-box [0] hbox [31] window main-window [21] #document undefined [0] *** 892 INFO TEST-PASS | chrome://mochikit/content/chrome/suite/common/tests/chrome/test_idcheck.xul | check id: navigator.xul#sidebar-splitter ] Issues: 1) There is no "FAIL" message, so this is not reported :-( 2) The duplication probably needs to be fix too :->

The |id='contentAreaContextSet'| thing intentionally doesn't throw an error, as there's no way around it, this is a sidebar thing and I think extensively discussed in the original bug that introduced that test. Not blocking a release by test box strangeness.

This still happens rather (very) often :-( As with http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showlog.cgi?log=SeaMonkey/1224098097.1224101848.24786.gz Linux comm-central dep unit test on 2008/10/15 12:14:57 http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showlog.cgi?log=SeaMonkey/1224093694.1224098979.16081.gz MacOSX 10.4 comm-central dep unit test on 2008/10/15 11:01:34 (Maybe fixing the (2) leaks will help !?)

A different error for MacOSX: { http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showlog.cgi?log=SeaMonkey/1229855141.1229860329.29456.gz&fulltext=1 MacOSX 10.4 comm-central dep unit test on 2008/12/21 02:25:41 *** 2011 INFO TEST-PASS | chrome://mochikit/content/chrome/suite/common/tests/chrome/test_idcheck.xul | check id: editor.xul#bundle_utilityOverlay pure virtual method called terminate called without an active exception ERROR FAIL Exited with code 6 during test run }
