the thing you missed is the Thunderbird version you are running. There was https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1203554 in Thunderbird 102.2 which is fixed in 102.3.x Could that be your problem? Wolfgang

I have a probably related problem, on Leap: I use a local (same computer) nntp proxy server, Leafnode, in the same computer as Th. Thunderbird gets stuck and very unresponsive, can not redraw any window. Maybe in full black, maybe a "photo" of what was there before. Has to be killed. It was specially bad if I clicked in one of the nntp groups. I had to disable nntp by changing the port from 119 to 120 to make Thunderbird work again - and making this tiny change was very difficult and slow, even in safe mode. But this did not happen when I updated Th to 102.2, but yesterday, after some other updates (mostly python and webkit2gtk). Longer details: <https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/users@lists.opensuse.org/message/IZ7GBJIH3TNATGMIH7XVOSA3KZKWAKL5/> In fact, the proxy complains: <7.3> 2022-10-09T15:07:43.322295+02:00 Telcontar leafnode 13111 - - Cannot write to client: Broken pipe <7.3> 2022-10-09T15:07:43.322933+02:00 Telcontar leafnode 13674 - - Cannot write to client: Broken pipe <7.7> 2022-10-09T15:07:43.323010+02:00 Telcontar leafnode 13111 - - Client timeout, disconnecting. <7.7> 2022-10-09T15:07:43.323076+02:00 Telcontar leafnode 13674 - - Client timeout, disconnecting. I suppose I'll wait for the 102.3.x update. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.3 x86_64 at Telcontar)

102.3.1-2.1 Nothing shows up in the list of groups to subscribe to but if I enter a space in the search-box then I get a (possibly partial) list. If i click the subscribe box on one of those then tbird crashes. There's a different version number on virtually every one of the distros I run so it's near impossible to tell if it's a tbird issue or not. It likely is, if I enter a group in the search box nothing might show though the group is there in the list. Seems like more bugs than an anthill.
