It is a Thunderbird bug that I'm seeing in 14.04 and 15.10 without any LDAP server. It seems to be with the display of any stored addresses connected to the name/e-mail address being typed. I believe it first started appearing for me with 13.10. But, for me it is very sporadic and seems to be connected only to certain e-mail addresses. I see it probably less than 10% of the time. It has been increasing in frequency, however. That is, more e-mail addresses that I use are becoming subject to this bug. take care, Victor -- Victor Forberger [email protected] blog: http://linuxatty.wordpress.com
