  Thunderbird hangs for 10secs when auto-completing address

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird

  This bug seems to be very old, but somehow I didn't find it in
  Launchpad - forgive me if  it's a dupe.

  When composing a new mail, I start typing a few letters into the address bar 
of the Thunderbird composer windows, and TB tries to autocomplete it from the 
address book.
  The drop-down menu appears, giving me the possibilities that start with the 
letters I typed, BUT - Thunderbird hangs (compiz darkens the window) for 
approx. 10 seconds - then it gets itself up again and processes complete 
normally, no errors, no wrong behaviour - and the address book searches are 
correct.

  First I thought it was the prefs.js, see
  http://kb.mozillazine.org/Long_time_to_open_address_book

  Funny thing is, that I NEVER had used Thunderbird 1.5 before - but I had 
about 50 lines with that "nonascii" in it.
  I deleted them, and gone was the problem, for a few days.
  TB worked normally.

  Then the problem reoccurred.
  Now my prefs.js is clean, and it still has the problem.
  It might have something to do with LDAP search as well - I first thought it 
has to do with that: I have a LDAP server on a openVPN network which is not 
always connected - and I thought the delay was a network timeout when TB 
searches for the LDAP and doesn't find it.
  But I now disabled the LDAP address search in Thunderbird, and the problem 
remains.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 320057] Re: Thunderbird hangs for 10secs when auto-completing address

2016-03-08 Thread David Inman
In Thunderbird 38.3.0 I saw very long waits accessing a company ldap of several 
thousand entries.
In short, while composing a message, characters typed were matched against ldap 
as they were entered.
Using Wireshark to examine the ldap packets, it was determined that the filter 
used to collect the
matching entries was of the form '*chars*' where 'chars' are those I had typed 
into the "To:" line of a
new email.  There were three such patterns compared against different fields in 
ldap.   The problem lies
in the very inefficient '*' at each pattern's beginning.  For normal use of the 
ldap completion of an email
address this is a waste.  The comparison is too general for the application.  
Of course if it ran fast enough
I wouldn't be as concerned.  In my case, however, it takes some 30 seconds of 
searching per character I type.

The fix was a line like this in my prefs.js file with Tbird shutdown:
user_pref("ldap_2.servers..autoComplete.filterTemplate", 
"(|(cn=%v1*)(mail=%v1*)(sn=%v1*))");

where you replace '' with your own.  Note that '%v1*' was previously 
'*%v1*' in each case.
You should find your prefs.js under ~/.thunderbird/...

Now the response to each character in the 'To:' line of an email runs much less 
than a second, and progressively
faster as more characters are entered.  All as it should be.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 320057] Re: Thunderbird hangs for 10secs when auto-completing address

2015-05-22 Thread Darryl
I am still seeing a big delay when auto-completing (longer then it used
to take), but it's when LDAP is on.  The issue reported above with
seeing a delay with LDAP off turns out to be a configuration error on my
part.  There are two places to configure LDAP in Thunderbird.  One in
the account settings and one in Preferences.  I had the 'Use a different
LDAP server' option selected which means the settings in Preferences are
overridden.  So LDAP was on even though it was off in Preferences.  With
LDAP off, auto-completion occurs right away.

2015-03-20 Thread Darryl
I am seeing this issue always with Thunderbird 31.5.0 and elementary OS
0.3 Freya (64-bit).  It doesn't matter if I have 'Address
Autocompletion' turned on or off (I tried with all combinations...'Local
Address Books' on/off, 'Directory Server' on/off).  I'm at the point
where I have to click in the body of my newly composed email, enter all
addresses I want to send to, and copy and paste them into the address
lines one by one.

Thunderbird freezes for 30 seconds, presumably doing lookups for auto-
complete  against Active Directory, whenever I type unrecognised names
in the message recipient text box. Names that have been used before do
not cause the freeze. This is having a major effect on usability.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure LDAP to point at Active Directory LDAP server
2. Start composing a new email
3. Type recipient name that has not been previously seen by T'bird, causing a 
lookup against the configured LDAP directory


Actual Results:  
Thunderbird freezes for 20-30-40 seconds.

Expected Results:  
Name auto-completes whilst you are typing. (Name lookups in MS Outlook are 
much, much, much quicker.)

I'm using Linux (Mandriva 2007); I haven't checked whether the Windows
version behaves the same way.

I'm somewhat surprised that there's not already a bug filed on this, as

- when searching against the AD in Addressbook, there's no UI freeze -
there's a short (~1 second) delay then results fill the page (I searched
for 'test', and it turns out we have a lot of entities with that in
their name in our AD.)

- I also tested using the 'contacts' pane in a compose window; there's
no freeze,  but I'm not getting results back from the search either.

Could you try a Thunderbird 2.0 beta 2 (or rc build if its out yet) and

I can't remember if the logging includes timestamps off hand, but it'd
be useful if you could attach a log and (if its possible) point out the

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 320057] Re: Thunderbird hangs for 10secs when auto-completing address

2012-09-26 Thread Nathaniel W. Turner
I'm seeing this today in the latest Thunderbird in 12.04 (seems to have
started happening to me more often in the past few months, but perhaps
that's due to some server-side change.)

It seems worth pointing out that when Thunderbird freezes with the
address field drop-down displayed, the entire X session becomes unusable
(due to the drop down menu having some kind of global focus?) until
Thunderbird thaws. So one cannot even go do something in another app
while waiting for Thunderbird when this happens. Everything grinds to a
halt.

(Also note that per the upstream bug, the workaround referred to in
comment #24 apparently just has the effect of turning off LDAP lookups,
so it is not in fact a workaround at all.)

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird

  This bug seems to be very old, but somehow I didn't find it in
  Launchpad - forgive me if  it's a dupe.

  When composing a new mail, I start typing a few letters into the address bar 
of the Thunderbird composer windows, and TB tries to autocomplete it from the 
address book.
  The drop-down menu appears, giving me the possibilities that start with the 
letters I typed, BUT - Thunderbird hangs (compiz darkens the window) for 
approx. 10 seconds - then it gets itself up again and processes complete 
normally, no errors, no wrong behaviour - and the address book searches are 
correct.

  First I thought it was the prefs.js, see
  http://kb.mozillazine.org/Long_time_to_open_address_book

  Funny thing is, that I NEVER had used Thunderbird 1.5 before - but I had 
about 50 lines with that nonascii in it.
  I deleted them, and gone was the problem, for a few days.
  TB worked normally.

  Then the problem reoccurred.
  Now my prefs.js is clean, and it still has the problem.
  It might have something to do with LDAP search as well - I first thought it 
has to do with that: I have a LDAP server on a openVPN network which is not 
always connected - and I thought the delay was a network timeout when TB 
searches for the LDAP and doesn't find it.
  But I now disabled the LDAP address search in Thunderbird, and the problem 
remains.

Ugh, ignore the misleading LP hyperlinking in the previous comment ---
that's referring to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=373167
not a LP bug.

In reply to #25: I can confirm this problem/behavior -- the entire X
session freezes while the TB address drop-down is frozen.
