Public bug reported: Binary package hint: thunderbird
When opening certain emails, Thunderbird crashes unexpectedly. The action expected was to have the email open without crashing Thunderbird (TB), allowing me to view the email. All the emails that this has happened in have not had any attachments, and it does not matter whether I click to open the email, or view it in the preview pane - as soon as TB tries to display the email, it crashes. This does not happen in all emails, however. Additionally, if someone forwards a problematic email, I can read the email content of the person who forwarded it (assuming this email doesn't make TB crash initially), but only until the content of the problematic email is viewed, upon which TB crashes. (Another issue, which could be linked to this: when trying to view a problematic email in a web-based email client, all the text is blanked out. I can select it, but all the characters are replaced with blank spaces). I'm currently using Ubuntu 8.10, with all the latest updates applied, including the latest Thunderbird update (as of Friday, March 20). This is the current version of Thunderbird installed: thunderbird: Installed: 2.0.0.21+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.10.1 Candidate: 2.0.0.21+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.10.1 Version table: *** 2.0.0.21+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.10.1 0 500 http://security.ubuntu.com intrepid-security/main Packages 500 http://za.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid-updates/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.0.0.17+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://za.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Dependencies: DistroRelease: Ubuntu 8.10 Package: mozilla-thunderbird None [modified: /var/lib/dpkg/info/mozilla-thunderbird.list] PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: PATH=/home/username/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games LANG=en_ZA.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: thunderbird Uname: Linux 2.6.27-11-generic i686 ** Affects: thunderbird (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug -- thunderbird crashes unexpectedly on opening certain emails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/345741 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
