I have narrowed it down and believe I know what is causing it. TB is not hanging permanently, but it will take several minutes to recover. Here's how you can re-create the issue:
create a very large text file, for example a backup of a mysql database (sql, plain text). I was able to replicate this with less than 100K records in a csv file. Attach it to a email and send it to yourself. open it. try to reply or forward. your cpu should max out for several minutes trying to process the message. Assuming that the processing/display of the message is causing this, a quick fix for this could be: - treat both SQL and CSV files as actual attachments, and do not try to show them in-line in messages. - add other types of files that could be extremely large I can't attach any of our data for this bug because of company restrictions, so I apologize for that. -- Thunderbird hangs when forwarding an email from IMAP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89894 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
