This has only happened a handful of times, and I have /not/ figured out how to reproduce it reliably. I've also, unfortunately, usually been very busy trying to get a message sent when it happens and so I try to reconstruct the message from memory rather than reconstructing what I did to trigger the bug. However, others have told me they have experienced similar problems, and this is a big issue, so now it's a bug. The crashes have /always/ happened (for me) when editing a message. IIRC, what usually triggers it is cutting/deleting a decent-sized block of text (a few lines) that have been highlighted. Also IIRC (getting a bit more fuzzy here, but I might as well mention it) I think it's usually been when the text being deleted contains formatting, either as a result of a paste from elsewhere or as a result of hitting reply/forward.

I've gotten this crash a lot since upgrading to 1.5. As said, it happens when deleting a selection of text (with the backspace or delete keys). Terminal shows: /usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher: line 119: 24532 Segmentation fault "$mozbin" "$@" thunderbird-bin exited with non-zero status (139) My thunderbird was built with gcc 3.4.
(In reply to comment #3) > I've gotten this crash a lot since upgrading to 1.5. As said, it happens when > deleting a selection of text (with the backspace or delete keys). I think I can duplicate this rather annoying bug. Try the following: + use 'Write' to open a blank composition window + enter this text into the body of the message (don't bother with recipients or a Subject line): jfjfjfjfjfjfjfjfjfj jfjfjfjfjfjfjfjfjfj jfjfjfjfjfjfjfjfjfj + now go to the start of the second line, and enter a line of 'k's, with an enter, to give you: jfjfjfjfjfjfjfjfjfj kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk jfjfjfjfjfjfjfjfjfj jfjfjfjfjfjfjfjfjfj + move the cursor to the very end of the message, and then just hold down the backspace key -- somewhere in the middle of the message, thunderbird crashes (I don't think there'e anything special about the letters I used, it's just what I typed, so you might as well try the same characters.) My emerge info output follows -- note that it looks like it ought to be fairly unstable, but my laptop is extremely stable anyway :-). This looks like a straightforward coding bug in how TB handles its message data structures, rather than a platform problem. Hopefully, if others can duplicate the problem with what I've written here, it might make debugging it easier.

Duplication method works for me. Continues to be reproducable with a clean profile.
(In reply to comment #5) The exact method described doesn't work for me, but typing a little more text, then munging it around with cut-and-paste a few times, then going to the end of the message and holding backspace does work. However, I cannot get this to happen with mozilla-thunderbird-bin. I think this is a Gentoo-specific bug.
I see this one regularly also. Using 1.5-r2 on AMD Athlon (should change bug "hardware" to All?) I've lost several long compositions to this. Very annoying. (should bump up severity?) I asked in the Thunderbird support forum if this is a known issue. Was told they "can't support 3rd party builds."
I'll get around to it when I can, but can someone post a GDB backtrace of this happening?
I have the same symthom on AMD64... after I compiled Thunderbird with USE="+debug" I get that error message.. I think that causes the Segfault: WARNING: NS_ENSURE_TRUE(NS_SUCCEEDED(rv)) failed, file nsFilteredContentIterator.cpp, line 110 WARNING: NS_ENSURE_TRUE(NS_SUCCEEDED(res)) failed, file mozInlineSpellChecker.cpp, line 905 ###!!!

* POSSIBLE WORKAROUND * In reading what Jan posted (comment #9) more closely, I noticed this: >[...] > WARNING: NS_ENSURE_TRUE(NS_SUCCEEDED(res)) failed, file > mozInlineSpellChecker.cpp, line 905 > ###!!! ASSERTION: You can't dereference a NULL nsCOMPtr with operator->().: Specifically, it appears to be the inline spelling checker that explodes. So, I unchecked: Preferences -> Composition -> Spelling -> Enable spell as you type (which is hideously ungrammatical, by the way, but that's not important right now). Now, my previous crash-every-time test case in comment #4 no longer works, and indeed, I seem unable to crash Thunderbird after a couple of minutes of determined cut-and-pastery. Does disabling as-you-type spelling checking de-crashify Thunderbird for the other people affected by this bug?

It seems that your workaround solves the problem of crashing Thunderbird when editing messagess. Here are my USE flags for Thunderbird: [ebuild R ] mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird-1.5.0.2 +crypt -debug -gnome -ipv6 -ldap -xinerama +xprint 0 kB /ediap

Is this still an issue ... no responce within 72 hours will result in bug being closed.

Do not know, since I use mozilla-thunderbird-bin for some time and automatic check spelling does not cause any crashes... But I can not confirm that it is the case for mozilla-thunderbird-1.5.0.x. BR, /ediap
(In reply to comment #15) I've turned on the spell-checker for the first time since I added the test-case and workaround, and Thunderbird no longer crashes for me. So I'm happy to see this bug closed. For the record, I'm now running thunderbird-1.5.0.7, and my emerge info is now: Gentoo Base System version 1.12.5 Portage 2.1.1-r1 (default-linux/x86/2006.0, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.5-r0, 2.6.16-gentoo-r8 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.16-gentoo-r8 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.70GHz Last Sync: Sun, 10 Dec 2006 06:00:01 +0000 distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.3 [disabled] app-admin/eselect-compiler: [Not Present] dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.30 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.3-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: 2.3 dev-util/confcache: 0.4.2-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r2, 2.17 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.14 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.17-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-Os -march=pentium-m -mcpu=pentium-m -mtune=pentium-m -fomit-frame-pointer -funit-at-a-time -mmmx -msse -msse2 -mfpmath=sse -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-Os -march=pentium-m -mcpu=pentium-m -mtune=pentium-m -fomit-frame-pointer -funit-at-a-time -mmmx -msse -msse2 -mfpmath=sse -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://www.arc.ltd/gentoo http://www.mirror.ac.uk/mirror/distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--enable-new-dtags -Wl,--sort-common" LINGUAS="en_GB" MAKEOPTS="-j8" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/opt/portage-overlay /usr/portage/local/layman/pro-audio" SYNC="rsync://gromit/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X X509 aac acpi aim alsa apache2 arts audiofile bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bluetooth bonobo bootsplash branding bzip2 cdparanoia cdr cli cracklib crypt css cups curl dbus divx4linux dlloader doc dri dvd dvdread eds elibc_glibc emacs emboss encode esd ethereal evo evolution examples exif fftw firefox flac foomaticdb fortran freetype gdbm gif gmail gnome gphoto2 gstreamer gtk gtk2 gzip hal iconv id3 idea imagemagick imap imlib input_devices_evdev input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse input_devices_synaptics ipod isdnlog jabber jack java javascript jikes jpeg junit kde kdeenablefinal kernel_linux lame libg++ libwww linguas_en_GB live logrotate lzo mad matroska mikmod mjpeg mmx mng mono mozdevelop mozsvg mp3 mpeg mplayer msn mysql ncurses net network nfs nls no-seamonkey nptl nptlonly nsplugin nvidia objc oci8 odbc offensive ogg opengl oscar pam pcmcia pcre pda pdf perl pic png pppd python qt qt3 qt4 quicktime rc5 readline real reflection rhino rss rtc ruby samba sdl session smartcard smime spell spl sql sse sse2 ssl subversion svg tcpd tetex theora threads tidy tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode unzip usb userland_GNU video_cards_fbdev video_cards_nvidia video_cards_vesa vorbis win32codecs wmf xanim xcomposite xml xorg xscreensaver xv xvmc yahoo zip zlib" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
Sounds resolved, reopen if you think not.
