2000-08-04-04-M17 Talkback ID = TB15374322M Probably not a front-end thing. Read a couple mails, deleted a few mails, clicked on a new message and crashed.
Keywords: crash, nsbeta2
does this happen all of the time or just once?
This is all I could find in Talkback: ReleaseSheet [d:\builds\seamonkey\mozilla\layout\html\style\src\nsCSSLoader.cpp, line 483] _hashEnumerate [d:\builds\seamonkey\mozilla\xpcom\ds\nsHashtable.cpp, line 100] PL_HashTableEnumerateEntries [plhash.c, line 414] nsHashtable::Enumerate [d:\builds\seamonkey\mozilla\xpcom\ds\nsHashtable.cpp, line 238] 0x08458b51
Whiteboard: [nsbeta2+]NEW - REPRODUCIBLE?
I hit it several times in a row, but it may be the same message causing it. I was able to get the "same" crash by dragging a link out of the message (using 4.5) into a Seamonkey browser window. (URL=http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/network/2000/06/30/magazine/mozilla_game.ht ml) Other talkback IDs = TB15374433Z and TB15378464E
I should mention that this was on Win98.
reassigning to layout.

Moving from [nsbeta2+] to [nsbeta2-], putting on nsbeta3 nominee radar. Missed beta2 train...need 100 reproducible test case...this is sooo random. ;-)

Reassigned to selmer to provide more complete stack traces. Or were they in the Talkbacks reports? I don't know how to access that either...

My bug #46293 was marked a duplicate of this. So I'm providing current feedback... I'm still seeing crash when I select a message with a large web page attachment then select another message. Mac and NT talkback reports attached.

Sorry, NT talkback report no good.
Can we reproduce from scratch by sending the msg with the large attachment and then following Laurel's steps? Can we attach the attachment to this bug report?
Keywords: mailtrack
The attachment is http://www.cnn.com. It caused the problem awhile back with the then current content and I attached it again today with its current content. I don't know that we need to attach cnn.com to this bug report.
I am not the correct owner for this bug. There are stack traces attached to this bug.

Hello? What's happening with this bug (mine, bug 46293 was marked duplicate)? Beta3 decision?
chrisd - can you offer more insight into this bug? If it's a layout bug, do you know what element may be the cause of the crash when displaying the msg content?
Hey, folks? Still no comments from development and PDT here... in the light of getting some more attention, I have removed the "NEW-REPRODUCIBLE ?" from the status whiteboard field. I think we've supplied that info...
Whiteboard: [nsbeta2-]NEW - REPRODUCIBLE? → [nsbeta2-]
Adding karnaze@netscape.com to CC. Any current status on this bug? Will it be plus or minus?
Adding nsbeta3+ to status whiteboard.

Whiteboard: [nsbeta2-] → [nsbeta2-] nsbeta3+

brackets on nsbeta3+ in case it matters to any queries.
Whiteboard: [nsbeta2-] nsbeta3+[pdtp1] → [nsbeta2-][nsbeta3+][pdtp1]
I'm hitting this a lot lately with various attached pages. Really confuses other testing... could someone please make sure this is being addressed? I don't see any developer comments. Putting in relnote3 keyword, since it may be this will not be fixed in time for beta?
Keywords: relnote3
Pierre, any update on this bug? Thx.

Attached a stack trace from a crash on NT with sept19 commercial build. Stack traces in many of the talkbacks for this problem today are coming up only with a single stack line, such as this: Call Stack: (Signature = 0x0f25049f 322329b7) 0x0f25049f
selmer: I started to work on it but I did not focus as much as I should have because I have the bad habit to work on the bugs whose approvals are questionable before working on those, like this one, that I know I will be allowed to check into the branch up to 20 minutes before we ship. This is a very bad habit, I know, I really should stop doing that!

I have a temporary patch. The problem happens when displaying a mail message with an attachment which loads an external stylesheet. It happens for instance when displaying a mail with a CNN page as an attachment. The sequence is the following: - the mail is loaded and the external stylesheet is fetched - while the stylesheet is loading, it is added to a hash table in the css loader - when the stylesheet is loaded, the completion routine tries to retrieve the loading stylesheet from the hash table ==> Problem #1: To load the stylesheet, we use a standard URI but when the completion routine is called, we receive a nsMsgMailNewsUrl. ==> Problem #2: To retrieve the stylesheet from the hash table, the css loader uses nsIURI->Equals(nsIURI *other, PRBool *_retval) which calls nsStdURL::Equals() which uses the second URI to make a QueryInterface() on the nsStdURL IID **ONLY**. ==> Problem #3: nsMsgMailNewsUrl doesn't implement the nsStdURL interface, just the nsIURL interface. ==> Result: the QueryInterface fails, the hash table entry for the stylesheet is not cleared, still the stylesheet is deleted. Next time a message is displayed, the css loader is deleted and it crashes because its hash table points to invalid elements. To fix that, I changed the test used to compare the 2 URIs: instead of calling nsIURI->Equals(), I get the strings with GetSpec() and do a simple strcasecmp(). Of course, it would be better to fix either nsIURI->Equals() or the inheritance of nsMsgMailNewsUrl but it is a bit trickier than it looks, so I'm going to let the original authors (warren, gagan and mscott) take care of it. The patch is below, if you want to review it.

I'd prefer to fix nsStdURL::Equals instead so that others don't trip on the same problem. Can you come up with a patch for it?
Marking "needinfo". This seems like a bad thing, but we need a patch, review and super review to clear for checkin.

mscott, can you make any recommendation here on the existing patch vs Warren's suggestion?
The real fix would involve changing the inheritance of nsMsgMailNewsUrl. That's for mscott. In the meanwhile, if someone wants my patch, fine.

Cleared the Keywords and the Status Whiteboard, lowered Priority and Severity, changed Summary to "nsStdUrl->Equals() doesn't work with nsMsgMailNewsUrl" from "Crash opening mail message". Reassigned to mscott to fix the inheritance problem in nsMsgMailNewsUrl. Scott: when you're done, please remove my patch in nsCSSLoader.cpp.

Netscape's standard compliance QA team reorganised itself once again, so taking remaining non-tables style bugs. Sorry about the spam. I tried to get this done directly at the database level, but apparently that is "not easy because of the shadow db", "plus it screws up the audit trail", so no can do...

bienvenu's patch for bug 98626 (applied 2002/09/25) might also fix this bug, making the CSS loader workaround/hack unnecessary. can someone confirm?
I'm pretty sure you're right - I did fix Equals to work for mailnews urls, and what the style sheet code is doing is very similar to what the imglib code was doing that prompted me to fix Equals. Do you mind if I mark this one fixed/dup, or do you want to leave it open to see about changing the css loader?
Assignee: mscott → bienvenu
Either way. If you mark it a dup, please file a bug on me for the CSSLoader change. I'd like to land bug 107567 before making that change. ;)
