FWIW, this has been happening quite alot on my wife's SM 2.22.1 Win7 since upgrading from 2.22.0. Drives *me* crazy becuase I have to go and clear it for her. When she gets back I plan to downgrade her SeaMonkey to 2.22.0. I've not noticed it on my linux version as I can't run 2.22.1 until the lightning bug (no pun intended) is fixed. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

It's not specific to Windows 7; it's a long-standing problem in WinXP as well. I had it under Linux for a while recently, coupled with 100% processor usage from the persistent process. My posting on September 12 produced nothing useable but it has been weeks since the problem last arose anyway. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

I haven't seen this in years, if ever; I must be doing something right. Win7 Pro SP1 (64-bit), SM 2.22. I vaguely remember a time when that was common, but nowadays Seamonkey almost always closes cleanly. I think it has been months since the last time I had to kill the task from Task Manager. Win7Ultimate x64. The usual suspects for this kind of misbehavior are as follows: 1. Extensions: Check if you have any extensions you don't really need. 2. Plugins: some versions of plugins are notorious for frequent hangs. Try updating your plugins. 3. If none of the above improves the situation, you may have something corrupted in your Seamonkey profile. If your profile is rather old, the likelihood of that goes up, due to old settings that no longer make sense. Biting the bullet and recreating the profile from scratch may solve that and other annoyances. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
