Thunderbird 13.0 linux duplicate window bug

[sgrayban]

I just upgraded Thunderbird to 13.0 and after the first time I click on the tray icon to open TB any clicks after that creates another TB window so I have 2 TB windows all the time. Follow ?

Hi, works in my environment. Could you provide further details like:

• Linux distro version
• Desktop environment (if any)
• Window manager
• GTK+ version
• Do you notice any errors in the javascript console (CTRL-Shift-J)

[sgrayban]

Debian 6.0 (Squeeze) KDE 4 gtk_binary_version=2.10.0

No java errors

[kevincox]

I would just like to say that this happened to me twice but then it stopped. I'm not sure if it stopped when I upgraded to the latest version but I though it was earlier than that.

[sgrayban]

It's not going away in my case. So far it happens all the time.

[kevincox]

What version are you on?

[sgrayban]

Of firetray ? 0.4.0b3 which is what I downloaded from the git repo the other day and installed it think that it might have the fixes already but it didn't.

[kevincox]

I'm running 0.4.2. Do you want to try it out, it could be a regression.

[sgrayban]

sure -- i'll try anything

how are you going to send it ?

[sgrayban]

opps sorry for all those replies -- the site is acting up

[kevincox]

I it is the same version that is on AMO. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firetray/

[sgrayban]

That's the firefox addon which does work -- its the TB version isn't working. Maybe I didn't clarify that.

[kevincox]

Sorry, the link was bad but I did mean the ThunderBird version. The thunderbird version is here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/firetray/.

[sgrayban]

same issue -- really weird

[sgrayban]

I just installed TB 12 again and I don't have this issue so it must be a TB 13 problem

[kevincox]

Yup, I'm on 12. I guess I won't upgrade yet then :)

[sgrayban]

Oh well maybe they will fix this issue soon

[foudfou]

Hi, @kevincox is it possible for you to provide a VirtualBox VM that illustrates your problem ?

[kevincox]

My issue was fixed, sorry if that was unclear.

[problemzebra]

I still have this problem with Thunderbird 13 and the latest FireTray version on Linux Mint 13.

[foudfou]

@problemzebra could you to provide a VirtualBox VM that illustrates the problem (same environment) ?

[problemzebra]

I can't reproduce this in a VM. Maybe this problem only occurs when a multi-monitor setup is used? Also, I did not create a real account in Thunderbird.

[sgrayban]

hmm I use dual monitors but this wasn't happening in the previous versions so what changed to make this happen ?

[mathbr]

Just a quick info that I see the same issue with TB 11.0 and Firetray 0.4.2 on Debian Sid here. The issue did not occur with the old 0.3.x versions.

[foudfou]

@sgrayban I just realized you're using gtk_binary_version=2.10.0, whereas 2.20+ is required.

[sgrayban]

Debian 6.0.5 does not have gtk 2.20 in its repo's

[foudfou]

I'm not a Debian guru, but I've got a Debian vm here and it has GTK 2.20 installed from official repos. See also http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/libgtk2.0-0.

[mathbr]

The issue seems gone for me. Not sure which library update has fixed it though. :-/ GTK is on 2.24.10 here. Xfwm4 (window manager) on 4.8.3.

[kxenator]

I can confirm the same behavior/bug. Using Opensuse 12.2 (current) KDE 4.9.3 libgtk = 2.24.10 TB 17.0 FireTray 0.4.3 dual monitors (I guess this is important)

[problemzebra]

I finally have found out how this bug can be reproduced (at least on my machine):

• start Thunderbird with Firetray extension
• double click on email to open a new tab with this email
• drag this tab outside the thunderbird window
• result: a new thunderbird window is opened which canniot be closed anymore (clicking on "x" just makes this window invisible)
