#170674 — Icedove crashes after recent update

Hello,

I've noticed that over the last few weeks Icedove is crashing. I've 
never had a problem with that before. It typically happens when clicking 
on or deleting an email. I don't get any error, it just closes.

I'm running Jessie KDE

same as:

Yep, I see that too; sometimes it just disappears without my touching it.

Same environment.

I had the same problem. So I installed Thunderbird, typed "ln -s 
.icedove .thunderbird" in my home directory and stopped worrying about it.

It seems that several of us are experiencing this issue. Here I am using
the same environment that you (KDE + Icedove in Debian Jessie, all
updated to the latest versions). Although on the references you mention
seems not to be something related to the desktop environment, because
there was also someone with XFCE who had the same problem.

I'm not sure if I began to see this after the last update or before, but
I can say that quite some time and became something a little annoying.

Doing some tests running Icedove from a console, it seems that a
segmentation fault occurs.

Doing some debug based on this document [1], I found several reasons for
this:

* A file not found:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
nsHTMLCSSStyleSheet::~nsHTMLCSSStyleSheet

/build/icedove-tNL3mB/icedove-45.1.0/mozilla/layout/style/nsHTMLCSSStyleSheet.cpp:
No such file or directory.

* Some kind of problem related to libxul:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

/usr/lib/icedove/libxul.so

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00007ffff4a09fd0 in vtable for nsDisplayBackgroundImage () from
/usr/lib/icedove/libxul.so
---------------------------------------------------------------------

* I'm not sure what happened here:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()
---------------------------------------------------------------------


Unfortunately I had the head working on other things and left this issue
a little aside for the moment.

Have you installed some add-on? Here I'm using Enigmail, Iceowl, Inverse
SOGO Connector and Provider for Google Calendar (I do not remember to
have installed the the Google Calendar add-on so maybe it was some
automatic dependency).

Kind regards,
Daniel

Does it work better with a fresh profile?

If yes, maybe cleaning up your profile helps. Here's a survey of the files in
the profile folder:

I'm getting exactly the same experience, with seemingly nothing 
initiating continuous crashes after last nights update.
Never had a problem before.
Running a mix of Gnome, KDE apps with Enlightenment over the top on an 
Unstable system.
Anybody else seeing this?
Cheers!

Moritz Muehlenhoff few minutes ago announced a new Icedove update (DSA)
for Debian Jessie. Maybe it doesn't correct this, but worth trying.

Add me to the set of people seeing this. Very vanilla KDE-based jessie system,
except that I do have ZFS support added (but I'm sure that's nothing to do
with the problem); otherwise, there are no unofficial packages on the machine.

Add me as well.  Icedove dies silently maybe once a week.  Sometimes
dies clicking on next message or delete message, sometimes dies by
itself with no user action while using firefox or anything else.
Nothing in .xsession-errors nor syslog.

System is up-to-date jessie.  Icedove debian package add-ons: enigmail,
iceowl-extension, calendar-google-provider.

Regards,
Ralph

Not applicable to my situation.
I've never had a problem of any sort before, over an install period on 
this machine of over a year, until this last update.
Now it crashes often.
It's flat out staying up for half an hour.
Sometimes it'll crash before it opens, at other times it will appear to 
coincide with a mouse event, but nothing consistent.
I'm trying to discover something reproducible to report, but aside from 
the inevitable crashes, there's nothing.
Cheers!

I'm also having the same problem for about the same mentioned time, but 
I use Debian wheezy & gnome

No report of error, no log, ... no information, only the application 
disappear.

similar experience.
Seems to occur randomly here, like when I delete something or mark it 
read/unread, or move something to another folder, and other  generally 
trivial operations.

Setting layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled to false helped me:
