Description of problem: Chatzilla starts, but then displays a "ChatZilla run-time error" dialog window with the message: ~~~ TypeError: client.currentObject is undefined @ <chrome://chatzilla/content/static.js> 4618 * ~~~ Clicking "OK" leaves a chatizlla window that lacks any menu entries and looks effectively like a half-started setup that was interrupted. Chatzilla is unusable in this state. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): chatzilla-0.9.87-9.1450hg.fc21.noarch How reproducible: Install the selected component version and start it. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run `chatzilla` from the command line. Actual results: Chatzilla starts but a run-time error is diplayed, clicking OK leaves a partially started but useless chatzilla. Expected results: Chatzilla starts as expected and you get to execute commands and select menu items. Additional info: Deleting ~/.chatzilla does not help.
Note that chatzilla (ChatZilla 0.9.91.1) run directly from firefox works (the XPI installed version).
This would seem to be this upstream bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1108416.
Downgrading xulrunner to version 33.0-2, which can be found here https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/21/Everything/ is a workaround.
The correct fix here is to update the Chatzilla package to version 0.9.91.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 21. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '21'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 21 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
This issue still exists in fedora 23. It is also still present in current rawhide. Is this package still being maintianed??? The fix here has always been to simply update to the latest upstream version.
Since I have no ability to update this bug to reflect the severity or that it still includes, i submitted a new bug 1279200.
