Note: this env was in a test-vm, I can't seem to reproduce this on my host laptop OS Step one might be optional. Steps to reproduce: 1. import cert 2. go to account that now SSL auth, but prompts for password 3. Hit ESC Usually after one or 2 tries of hitting ESC or clicking cancel, the desktop will hang. Only keyboard input is accessible. I've reproduced this in Thunderbird 13 in various permutations from lucid- precise. This is with and without unity.
