msgHdrViewOverlay Error On Send

Post by johnywhy »

When i reply to certain emails (containing images, but not consistent),

i get a script error, and then seamonkey freezes and i have to restart.
A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, open the script in the debugger, or let the script continue.

Script: chrome://messenger/content/msgHdrViewOverlay.js:309
Any help for this?
I tried disabling scripts in emails, but there does not seem to be any way to do so.

SeaMonkey 2.46

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/57.0.2987.110 Safari/537.36

Does the same thing occur if you launch the application in Mozilla Safe Mode? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode

Clear the browser cache and the Windows Temp directory.
Shutdown any anti-virus software you are running.
Download a new copy of the full installer from https://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/
Delete the directory C:\Program Files\SeaMonkey (or C:\Program Files (x86)\SeaMonkey)
Run the installer.
Restart the anti-virus program.

Note that your saved messages, address books, settings, passwords, bookmarks, etc are stored in a different directory from the program files and will not be removed by deleting the directory identified above. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_SeaMonkey

Do you see any errors in the error console if you run it alongside when you reply to such a mail?

Tools->Web Development->Error Console

If it happens with specific mails could you probably save one as an eml file, anonymize and post it?

it happens with all messages containing something other than plain text (active content, i believe).
will try the error console.

thx
