Quicktext 0.9.11.3 causes application crash in Thunderbird 17.0 while opening new message window (no further action - just open window and after few seconds Thunderbird crashes). The bug is reproducible.

Here, the same problem is described:

http://extensions.hesslow.se/forum/thread/642/Thunderbird+17/

It would be nice if there is a solution here

Yes, here, too. I followed the bug report to Bugzilla and it's known that QuickText is the issue, but it doesn't look like they're having much success rectifying it yet. I had to disable QuickText and the update is fine without it, but I use this add-on constantly to help communicate with my clients. I really hope it is fixed soon!

I'm also having the same issue in TH 17.0

I have also the same problem after update TH 17.0. With quicktext and quicktextpro.

Same here. I disabled all add-ons then added them back in priority (quick text was 2nd) bang TB died! The phoenix only rose from the dead when I left quick text disabled. All others are working fine. Hope we see a fix soon.

I am experiencing the same problem.

TB 17 crashed on me and I ended up having to choose between Quicktext and reverting to TB 16.0.2. Sorry, TB...you lost!
bobgriz12012-11-21 18:44:28
Me, too. I have certain language that MUST go in some emails. and I really like the Quicktext to do it. I bragged on it yesterday, and now the update has screwed it up. Please help soon.

I am also having this problem. I'd be willing to pay for this add-on development would continue on it. Unfortunately, it's not worth anything at this point.

http://extensions.hesslow.se/extension/4/Quicktext/ has a new beta verson (right hand side). Seems to work now in Thunderbird 17 (Ubuntu).
GeXX2012-11-22 12:00:25
Same here!
yakovyna2012-11-22 21:55:37
Seems to be fixed in 0.9.11.5
Thank you!
carlo X2012-11-23 07:25:59
thank you very very much for the fix
ohoservices2012-11-25 14:37:01
Ubuntu: had to reboot my system after 0.9.11.5 installation for the fix to work... still had problems after a thunderbird restart. Fixed now. Thx.

I always update to the new TB ONLY on my laptop (important business work usually done on my desktop), to be sure the Quicktext add-on still works. When 17.0 crashed on my laptop I was all set to (1) revert to a previous TB version on the laptop and (2) hold off on any TB updates on the desktop until things were fixed. I went through this thread, did the necessary updates on the laptop and things look good so far; will now go ahead and upgrade with confidence on the desktop! Thanks everybody for all the help!
taconsta2013-06-17 19:39:16
"Works" in that it does not crash TB anymore, which is already very good (why on earth does TB not say that there's an update for Quicktext??), BUT I get ugly [[CURSOR]] marks instead of having the cursor silently moved there.

Example:
"Sehr geehrter Herr [[CURSOR]][[TO=lastname]]," is supposed to write "Sehr geehrter Herr Hesslow," and put the cursor right before the Hesslow, such that I can correct it if needed.

What happens now is that I get "Sehr geehrter Herr [[CURSOR]]Hesslow," with the word CURSOR and the brackets highlighted (as in selected).

Did anyone else notice the same behaviour?
