[opensuse] Thunderbird 52.9.0 crashing too often.
Hi, I updated to Thunderbird 52.9.0 yesterday night, and I just had two crashes in half an hour. Report automatically uploaded somewhere. Problem is in libxul. Report ID Submitted bp-ac087cc1-80ad-40f9-a3ed-2d5520180708 2018-07-08 bp-532936bc-5d01-44a3-898c-f52c30180708 2018-07-08 Another issue that I have, since about a month, is that Thunderbird suddenly goes 100% CPU load and does not respond to mouse clicks or keyboard, till it finishes a few seconds later. Happens frequently, but perhaps less with the current version. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

I have noticed this in the past as well. I always thought it was my ISP's misconfigured imap servers. I also have a large number of filters, so I know there is some additional processing going on -- but still, I see Tbird spinning away for what seems like an eternity on startup some times. I have noticed that if Tbird gets stuck like this for too long a time, killing and restarting it generally brings it back to life where it plays nicely again. That said, I haven't had any "extra" issues or crashes since updating 42.3 to 52.9. If you are on 15, then that may be a separate issue. My experience with 423 has been fine with the update. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Do you ever manually compact folders? If not, that CPU load could be from compacting automatically in the background. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Whatever else you get, get wisdom."

It is supposed to be automatic, and should happen when leaving the mailbox. In fact, till recently I had Th configured to ask, and it would ask when I went to see news folders (nntp). And if I said yes, as a result of compacting the imap folders, then the current nntp folder would be blank, empty. I had to click on a different folder and back to make it display. Now that I have set it no not ask, I notice when I do the same movement that sometimes the nntp folder goes blank, which means that it did a compaction of the imap folder. So no, it is not that event. What I describe happens, for instance, when I'm typing an email, that suddenly what I write doesn't appear on the screen. Th is unable to refresh. CPU load goes 100% - it just happened now since here.. ^ .... to ..............................^ here. It maybe that it is polling the news server, and it is not threaded; but it is worse since about a month or so. The nntp server is local. The crashes are another issue. Seems to have been only twice today. Still, as compared to 3 a month, it is too much. Using Leap 42.3 as per signature. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

I have seen this as well. For years (I mean decade+) I went without changing my tbird profile to a fresh one. When I installed 42.2, I switched from pop to imap with my ISP and just started fresh. Since then I have not noticed any of the wheel-spinning with tbird and on 42.2 and 42.3 I can leave it up for weeks at a time without a crash. This is with 6-mailboxes and probably 150+ folders and up to 41 filters per-mailbox. (thankfully tbird gives yo a filter count at the top-right because I wasn't going to count :) If you have not created a fresh mailstore in a number of years, it would be worth creating a test profile and see if that help. -- David C.

Carlos, This Thundirbird hand issue happens on my Macbook also. Frequently. It's annoying, but releases after a bit. Never figured out why. Jim F -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
