With Thunderbird 3b4 when I attempt to search for something in the subject or from field, Thunderbird will hang and run at 100% CPU. When a drop-down dialog appears I am unable to use the X desktop at all. I cannot switch to another application and must either go to a console (i.e. Ctrl+Alt+F1) and kill Thunderbird. Otherwise I must ssh in from another computer to kill Thunderbird. If I wait, Thunderbird will eventually return to where I can use it, but it does not display meaningful results. Search is a very important feature for me and this worked well for Thunderbird 2.0. The fact that it totally hangs my desktop and often requires remote login to kill it is totally unacceptable. I do not know how many emails are in the folder since Thunderbird now supresses that information, but I would guess at least 30,000 emails are in my inbox for at least 1 account. I have 3 imap accounts that are used, so there may be 60-100K emails total, perhaps a lot more. If I limit it to only one of the accounts then it works as it should and returns in a reasonable amount of time. If I am not able to log in remotely it is faster for me to force my computer to completely reboot rather than wait for Thunderbird to allow the desktop to work again. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enter some text in the Thunderbird search field 2. Thunderbird hangs 3. Actual Results: Thunderbird hangs and hangs the entire X11 desktop Expected Results: Thunderbird should return results, which might take a bit of time but it should not hang the desktop. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
