[opensuse] Latest Thunderbird
Hi, After the latest update to Thunderbird earlier this week I noticed that TB has decided to stop auto spelling, anyone else notice this behavior? When I start TB and compose a message auto spell works, i.e. I get the little red lines when I fat finger things or just simply mis-spell stuff because I don't know any better ;) . Unfortunately TB apparently thinks this is only important in the first message I sent :( on subsequent message composition the red lines are no longer showing up. Anyone have any ideas what's going on? And yes I toggled the "Enable spelling as you type" check box off and on just in case, but that didn't help. With this latest issue and the still occurring supper slowness of Calender sync with Google TB is slowly driving me to the point of looking for alternatives grumble. Help is appreciated.

Its not absolute. Mailing to some other lists but not this one, spelling is there.
And yes I toggled the "Enable spelling as you type" check box off and on just in case, but that didn't help.
Same here. -- How long did the whining go on when KDE2 went on KDE3? The only universal constant is change. If a species can not adapt it goes extinct.

Yep, same behaviour on my install. I was running the TB24 Beta for a few weeks and I'm pretty sure it was working okay with that, but in the final v24 from the Update repo it's horked. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It might be that some part of your setup breezed right by the fact that Gppgle changed their certifictes (doubled the key size to keep the NSA at bay). If you did not accept the new certificates some parts of the system either don't work at all, or send your cpu into meltdown state. (Especially if Akonadi is involved anwhere). For the record, Mine does not seem slower at all. I'm useing the Standard OpenSuse Packages from This repository: http://download.opensuse.org/update/12.3/ You have to upgrade the calendar plugins as well. BUT ON THE GOOD NEWS SIDE The Ignore this thread feature finally works right. So often here on OpenSUSE we start out with a simple question that migrates off subject and like a Zombie, refuses to die, drifting farther and farther into chest thumping, and minutia, with no one having the sense to change the thread title, let along start a new one. So this will probably get a pretty good workout on this list. Ank spelking checkz does sometimets goz missink .... Contrary to what I posted in my other message. -- Explain again the part about rm -rf / -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Supposedly this helps:

For some reason the Options menu is not under Tools in the Suse Packages but rather under Edit Preferences. In my limited testing this seems to fix it. -- Explain again the part about rm -rf / -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I don't seem to have that problem in either Linux or Windows.
I don't have the problem in Windows either, and I initially didn't have the problem in Linux, but after replying to a few messages, spell check quit in Linux. Not in windows. -- Explain again the part about rm -rf / -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Great detective work, thanks. Now to the certificate issue. Sorry I missed that part with all the spelling stuff. I don't recall accepting new Google certificates. But I do have the CPU go into a tailspin every time the calendar is synced, thus I'll take it this is related. Any guidelines on how to fix this?

No real clue, but It might depend on which process was chewing up the CPU. I'd try deleting the calendar, then adding it back in and seeing if that clears up the problem. I'm not seeing it here, so its hard for me to guess. I've seen Kmail go bonkers but not so much Thunderbird. Usually if I apply some Updates via yast, and forget to shutdown and/or reboot, something will pop up and use all available ram or run the CPUs up. But its usually a KDE component, not so much Thunderbird. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
