I just clicked on a link and it was an email address and seamonkey went into an infinite loop opening new tabs with the email address as the url
-
njsg
ripspin: where? any public page you whose address you can share?
-
ripspin
I have reported this before (a few months back) and was told it couldn't be reproduced, here is console output:
sprunge.us/6h8Zjx
-
ripspin
It happens every time I click on a link that is an email address
-
ripspin
I don't remember where the bug report is, I would like to add the console output to the bug report
-
njsg
I remember something like this being mentioned here some time ago, yes
-
ripspin
Where is the page for seamonkey bug reports?
-
njsg
-
ripspin
Thanks for that
-
njsg
where was the link? Navigator or M&N?
-
njsg
have you been avoiding what triggers this, or is this (the infinite open tab loop) something that doesn't always happen?
-
ripspin
it was in an email:
mail.yahoo.com But the same thing happened last time I did it in a normal html page
-
njsg
you were viewing the email on Mail & News or Navigator (so, using the "webmail")?
-
njsg
(I think last time I saw this discussed here, it might have involved a link populated using javascript on a web page, but I might be remembering wrong)
-
njsg
ripspin: if this is webmail and you have the e-mail, can you try to reproduce (to see if it always happens), and then again with a brand new profile?
-
ripspin
I dread doing it, even when I close the two seamonkey windows I have open, it starts them again, I had to use: kill, and that was hard because the seamonkey window would take the focus
-
njsg
and how are you opening the link, keyboard, mouse, context menu, some menu provided by the webpage (if this is webmail)
-
njsg
ripspin: ctrl+Q didn't work?
-
njsg
I don't expect it to work fast, no, just wondering if that could help
-
njsg
but was this in the webmail?
-
ripspin
I closed each window with the mouse on X
-
njsg
ctrl+Q is the combination to quit seamonkey, so if it is processed, it'd close all windows
-
ripspin
It doesn't matter where the link is, if it is an email address bam
-
njsg
(might still be a problem if you have it set to open what was open)
-
njsg
let's try to collect as much information as possible. If reproducing it is hard, it'd be good if you could do it once with a new profile, just to rule out settings and per-profile extensions
-
ripspin
reproducing it is too easy
-
njsg
maybe: quit all existing seamonkey windows, open a new seamonkey instance, look for the process number, and in a separate terminal emulator run something like "sleep 30; kill process-number" before you try to reproduce it
-
ripspin
Can I start seamonkey in a trace mode and then test it?
-
ripspin
That sounds good, what about trace mode
-
njsg
I'm not sure, while you could use gdb, it needs tweaking in gdb, as otherwise gdb would stop a lot.
-
njsg
ripspin: do you use the Mail & News part of SeaMonkey?
-
ripspin
no Mail & News part for me
-
njsg
ripspin: and is this a build from www.seamonkey-project.org or from your distribution?
-
ripspin
I going to test it now
-
ripspin
I don't know, Im running 2.53.9.1
-
ripspin
Ok I am back, I couldn't do anything because seamonkey took focus on every workspace I went to, good thing is CrtlQ worked
-
ripspin
The kill -9 11230 didn't do anything
-
njsg
ripspin: was that with the same profile or with a new profile?
-
ripspin
the same
-
njsg
hmm... I could get to a situation where I can reproduce something similar
-
njsg
ripspin: do you recall ever doing anything so that Mail&News wouldn't open?
-
njsg
ripspin: and can you check in about:config what is network.protocol-handler.external.mailto set to?
-
njsg
frg_Away: under linux, if I set that to true and then point SeaMonkey to itself when it asks for a helper (by entering the path to the executable) and set it to remember that choice, I get the recursive loop
-
ripspin
network.protocol-handler.external.mailto;true
-
ripspin
it says modified: network.protocol-handler.external.mailto;true
-
njsg
ripspin: I'm guessing the helper set to that is seamonkey
-
njsg
ripspin: do you remember why is that setting set, do you remember setting it and what do you want mailto: URLs to do?
-
njsg
unless you have some other application you want to open these with, you could set mailto in Edit->Preferences->Browser->Helper Applications to "Always ask"
-
njsg
at least that way you won't get a recursive loop
-
ripspin
I don't remember changing it, what is the default?
-
njsg
the default is false, and with that mailto: links will open Mail & News
-
ripspin
that sounds good to me
-
njsg
ok, then set it to false (double click over it should work, I think), and try a mailto: link afterwards
-
ripspin
I tested it and it went to the mail part of seamonkey
-
ripspin
Thank you

tomman
can you guys access this IP? 200.25.11.8
-
tomman
try loading any image at planespotters.net, for example
-
tomman
or any from there:
onemileatatime.com
-
tomman
that CDN is acting screwy, but I want to know if it is just me, or a wider failure
-
tomman
a traceroute tells me the connection gets stuck somewhere at 200.16.71.xx or 200.16.69.xx
-
tomman
which is... Globenet
-
tomman
gotta love peering issues... NOT!
-
_that
works for me
-
tomman
thanks for testing
-
tomman
yeah, what I suspected: one of my ISP's peers is crapping out (AGAIN), and impacting sites I visit
-
tomman
of course my ISP won't even take reports of that (gotta love them), and peering providers will just tell "complain to your ISP despite the problem being at our end"
-
tomman
that's almost as bad when my ISP decides to block Cloudflare just because they can
-
njsg
but have you tried turning your router off and on again?
-
» njsg hides
-
njsg
really, some user support can be terrible
-
njsg
it gets perhaps especially painful when they're provided with information that could be forwarded to their tech side, but they insist in taking pointless steps
-
tomman
njsg: was for 5 weeks without phone/DSL
-
tomman
and I only got my line fixed BECAUSE I had to pay the bribe to the phone mafia ($60!)
-
tomman
and that was after THREE WEEKS of trying to find a technician that wanted to visit me AND had time
-
tomman
(last time was TWO YEARS and didn't got it fixed after paying $50 - mafia is adjusting their prices for global inflation it seems)
-
tomman
--didn't got fixed until I paid $50
-
tomman
and that's the state-owned telco
-
tomman
the private ones have already legalized their "mafia service fees"
-
njsg
what got burned this time?
-
tomman
many cables, it seems
-
tomman
that was what the mafia tech said yesterday
-
tomman
apparently it was collateral damage from the power surge that fried my UPS, surge protectors, and routerbox
-
tomman
"grounding" is a taboo word in Venezuela since forever, it seems
