Bug 92514 – mozilla-thunderbird-1.0.2 hangs when trying to open a new message window

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Martin Wegner 2005-05-13 09:29:50 UTC]

After I upgraded to thunderbird-1.0.2 I cannot open new message windows any longer. If I try thunderbird hangs somehow: The message window does _not_open, but I can continue with normal operations (writing, getting, ...) but when I close it it does not exit correctly: thunderbird processes are still running:

Until I kill those processes I cannot start thunderbird again.

When starting thunderbird, I get:

% thunderbird
No running windows found
*** Failed to load overlay chrome://enigmail/content/enigmailCheckLanguage.xul

I do not know if the error message is related to this.

When the GUI is closed I have to hit Ctrl-C to get the prompt, but processes keep running.

Error occurs if I try to open a new message window by double-clicking on a mail or by right-clicking and selecting "Open message in new window"

I've also tried to recompile it, did not help.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. thunderbird
2. Try to open new message window.
3.

Actual Results:  
Thunderbird hangs somehow. No message window appears.

Expected Results:  
Message window should open
