Public bug reported:

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.
