Title:
Dozens of 'add security exception' dialogs
Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Thunderbird greeted me this morning with at least 60 (I stopped
counting) "Add Security Exception" dialogs. Each had to be
cancelled/closed individually.
To reproduce:
1) Configure an IMAP account that uses SSL. The account should be set up so
that Thunderbird regularly checks for mail
2) Configure the SSL cert on the account such that the cert expires at some
future date
3) Launch Thunderbird, leave it running. Thunderbird will download mail from
the account configured in step 1
4) Wait until the cert expires
Expected results:
Thunderbird presents a dialog, "Add Security Exception", warning about the
expired/invalid certificate. It presents this dialog once, leaving it onscreen
until the user does something.
Actual results:
Thunderbird presents a dialog, "Add Security Exception", warning about the
expired/invalid certificate. The dialog is left onscreen. Thunderbird continues
to periodically check for mail. Each time it checks for mail on the account
with the expired certificate, it queues up another dialog for display. This can
result in dozens or hundreds of dialogs queued up, each of which has to be
dismissed individually.
I my case I didn't want to confirm the exception - I wanted to import
a new, current certificate for the account in question. There is not
an obvious way to do this within the "Add Security Exception" dialog.
Therefore I had to cancel each dialog in succession.
