I agree on the sluggishness point, but it's not significantly slower.
However, I had never (knowingly, anyway) run into a bug before in any
previous TB version -- until yesterday. Actually, I'm not even sure
that it was a bug, but at least I know it wasn't a "feature."
The bug (or whatever it was) only happened to one my Accounts. I went
to reply to a (html) message, and TB immediately started to have some
kind of kanipshun, the hard drive went nutso, and then *something*
initiated several dozen copies of the Windows Task Manager. I tried to
get everything to stop by using the Escape key, but that did nothing.
Then I tried the old reliable Control/Alt/Delete combination, and it
took quite a while before the Task Manager screen finally popped up.
And then it took me almost *15* minutes (working as fast as I could)
of closing/ending programs to finally get everything shut down
I had this happen *four* times in a row, ever after reboots, etc., so
I was just about on the verge of un-installing TB when I thought of
deleting just that one Account, to see if that would eliminate the
problem (because that was the only Account "it" seemed to affect).
Luckily, it was a little-used Account, and I didn't mind losing the
few Folders (and their contents) assigned to it. I then added the
Account back to TB and tried it again.
Voila! No more problems.
But I still wonder what the heck happened there. Could just that
Account have somehow gotten corrupted? Could it have been the html
interpreter? Could it be a bug? Would I be better off (in the long
run) to un-install this copy of TB and reinstall a new one? Or should
I just wait and see if it ever happens again? Everything has worked as
expected ever since.
Anyway, TB has always been a FLAWLESS program for me in the past, and
I'm still not sure who to blame here. Myself, TB, v2.0, Bill Gates,
Osama bin Laden, or whomever.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
