User:Sardisson/Camino Crash Reporter

Issues found in pre-release Google Breakpad client in Camino

* Client sometimes won't appear after a crash (try testcase in this bug, URL/comment 0 in this bug) - Bug 490670

• • So far does seem to write a dump in spite of not appearing
  • cl has also reproduced this on PPC
  • smorgan can repro reliably on first crash after reboot
• Client often "just vanishes" after appearing (while filling out info, switching apps to get info, etc.) - Bug 488727
• Client has no indication of sending/success (did my report get sent?), made worse by the random vanishing)
  • Apple and Mozilla both display progress spinners while sending and don't simply vanish
• Clicking on the Dock icon when the app is not frontmost doesn't focus the reporter window - issue 312
• Client doesn't fire with Rosetta?
• Need about:crashes / some easy, visible way to find sent report ID(s) - Bug 488949
• Make sure the following are reported, once Socorro support is in:
  • URL - Bug 490657
  • user comments
    • with UTF-8 support
    • text field should accept no more characters than will be stored
  • ObjC exception info
  • Time since the last crash
• Loaded libraries versions are incorrect
  • All have a 0. prepended to the actual or incorrect version, e.g. AppKit 0.949.43.0 instead of 949.43 (CFBundleVersion)
  • Some have blatantly incorrect versions, e.g.
    • Flash 0.0.0.0 instead of 1.0.4f872 (CFBundleVersion; alas, the useful version number is CFBundleShortVersionString, 10.0.22.87)
    • Growl 0.1.0.0 instead of 1.1.4 (CFBundleVersion)
    • SharedMenusCocoa 0.1.0.0 instead of 0.0.3 (CFBundleVersion)
    • Camino [blank] instead of 2009.04.25 (CFBundleVersion)
• Breakpad issue 309 (can't copy/paste)
• Big gap between "title" and "explanatory text"
• AppName menu/Hide menuitem/Dock label needs to be other than "crash_report_sender" - Bug 488861
  • issue 313 filed to make this less hacky
