The thunderbird 52.2.1-1 package in [extra] crashes when trying to connect to IRC in the Chat tab. Originally discovered in my own thunderbird-gtk2 package.

Seems to be caused by gcc 7 somehow, as rebuilding thunderbird-gtk2 using the gcc6 package in the AUR produced a working Thunderbird build. I haven't tried rebuilding with the [extra]/thunderbird PKGBUILD due to lack of personal interest, but I assume that would work too...

I'm assuming this isn't the fault of Arch Linux packaging if changing the version of gcc used fixes things :) so I have filed an upstream bug here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1376908
This task depends upon

Another bug report: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1373736

This looks related to GCC 7 and optimization, a debug build with GCC 7 works fine.

is this still an issue?

This is no longer a problem as of the thunderbird 60 update, probably fixed as a side effect of the significant core merges from firefox.
