Tested under Linux and Win98. ------- Additional Comments From Lisa Chiang 2001-02-21 19:21 ------- This is filed under the wrong component. Reassign to Paul for processing. Who tests the helper apps? ------- Additional Comments From Paul Wyskoczka 2001-02-22 07:17 ------- Sarah can you look at this and assign it to the proper developer. Seems to be a helper apps problem. Updating QA contact ------- Additional Comments From sairuh [se] 2001-02-22 15:07 ------- methinks this should go to either pchen or mscott. trying the former so, is this in bugscape because it doesn't happen in mozilla for some reason? ------- Additional Comments From sairuh [se] 2001-02-22 15:08 ------- oh, if this does crash, could we get a trace pls? ------- Additional Comments From Paul Chen 2001-05-07 15:49 ------- nav triage team: Reassigning to law ------- Additional Comments From Viswanath Ramachandran 2001-05-13 21:05 ------- I think we meant to put a mozilla0.9.1 and nsbeta1+ on this. doing that. ------- Additional Comments From Viswanath Ramachandran 2001-05-15 16:45 ------- moving to 0.9.2 on basis of frequency i.e. a small percent of users only will hit this. reducing to P2.

nsbeta1+,P2,m0.9.2.

vishy, could you pls add talkback trace info here from your crash? (unless talkback didn't appear when you crashed.) thx!

actually though I filed this bug, its only because I moved it over from Bugscape. I'm not the original reporter.

dup, methinks. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 60180 ***

vrfy.

The dupe hierarchy here is twisted, but the Linux crash could be easily explained as bug 97970. Lets get the original bugscape reporter (EduardoTerol@cs.com) to try Mozilla 0.9.4 daily build (the fix is post-milestone). The bug this is duped to is marked as "Linux", but it is not clear to me that the duplicates are all Linux-only, so I'll request an update there.
