RE: seamonkey win_nt 32 build March 190805 M4 hardward: HP X86 family 6, 233 mhz, 32 MB Problem: High-light text and type new text causes crashes. Consistently reproducible (80%) in my machine. I tried it over 10 times, it crashes about 9 times. But when Scott tried it, it did not crash. I am not sure if it is Ender problem orMail Compose problem. Assign to ducarroz per Scott MacGregor's advise Steps: 1. run Apprunner.exe 2. Select Tasks|Messenger to bring up Messenger 3. Open compose window from New Msg 4. Enter userid and subject 5. Type some text in the content area, one line or a few lines. 6. High-light some text and type some text over it. 7. Click on Send, crash immediately occurs. Note: Crash also occurs when I repeat step 5 and 6 on the address line and click reply. Als
Since no Talkback msg is available in M4, I don't know if Dr. Watson's crash message helps: Exception access violation 0xc0000005 Address 0x012ae04e (the last 3 digits varies each time)
From your steps, Fenella, it seems that you crash after you click Send. Is this correct? Do you crash at Send time or when you close the Compose window after sending? Also, in your note, you mention that you type items in the address fields and click "reply". Wouldn't clicking "reply" occur before the compose window comes up for you to type items in the address fields?
Both type of crash occurred when I click Send. May be I should also describe the steps about the crash during using Reply. 1. run Apprunner.exe 2. Select Tasks|Messenger to bring up Messenger 3. Select a message and click Reply 4. Enter userid and subject 5. High-light some text in the To field and edit the To field. 6. Type some text in the compose window 7. Click on Send, crash immediately occurs. Since both crashes occurred when I click on Send, I put it in one bug report. But if you think I need to put them in separate bug, please advise

RE: Mar231011 win32 seamonkey build. This problem does not exist in today's build. Please mark it fix so that I can close it. Or else I will leave it on to make sure it does not happen in the next few builds.

Ok, I'll mark it fixed, but you (Fenella) can do that yourself, right?
Phil, sorry that I did not make the comment clear dated 3/23/99. The reason I asked the developer to mark it fixed is because I was not sure if the problem went away because the problem has been fixed or it was gone temporary or other reasons. If it was not marked fixed by the developer, I want to check the next builds to make sure it is indeed fixed. RE: Seamonkey Apr0212 build, there is some problem in the mail message center, please refer to Bug#4484, I will wait for the next build.

RE: April 7 seamonkey build, I am unable to verify this bug because of the regression bug #4720.
Fenella, pls verify with 4/8 or later builds.
RE: seamonkey win32 build (1999-04-09-16) Due to bug 4668 (also refer to 4720), I am unable to verify this bug because I cannot type text in the body of the Compose window. Will check it again when bug 4668 is fixed.
RE: linux build (1999-04-21-08) I experience crash when I close composer on Linux, since the bug (see comment by Seth in bug 5323) has not been fixed, I will hold off to verify this bug.
RE: win32 and linux builds (both dated 1999-05-03-08) Cannot verify this bug because I can not high-light text. Please refer to bug 5883.
