Since being upgraded to Seamonkey 2.3 yesterday, I have started to notice some very odd (and completely new) behaviour --
Last night I was attempting to watch some streaming video, but it was taking an eternity to stream. Whilst waiting for something to happen, I used the mouse to interact with other programs that were open (ConvertXtoDVD, AVCHD Editor, VirtualDub, Windows Explorer, and the e-mail client of Seamonkey). Each time I did so, a little extra streaming too place. It took me about fifteen minutes to realise the significance of this, after which I placed the mouse in the streaming video window and started to moved it. So long as I kept the mouse in continuous motion, the video streamed just fine; as soon as I stopped moving the mouse, the video froze. Moving the video across the Start bar buttons, the video moves briefly as the mouse crosses each button boundary. If I display the video full screen, it streams normally and no mouse movement is needed to keep it in motion. This morning, my e-mails were taking an eternity to display. After a few minutes, I remember my experiments of last night, and tried moving the mouse into the message pane. As soon as I did so, the messages were displayed instantly. All the while I left the mouse in the message header window, the status bar displayed "Loading Message..." but the message was never displayed. If I move the mouse between headers in the message window, this accelerates things slightly. Moving the mouse into the message body pane causes the message to appear in full and virtually instantaneously Philip Taylor -------- about:buildconfig Source Built from http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-release/rev/504b6b4cace0 Build platform target i686-pc-mingw32 Build tools Compiler Version Compiler flags d;D:\mozilla-build\msys\mozilla-build\python25\python2.5.exe -O e;D:\mozilla-build\msys\builds\slave\rel-comm-rel-w32-bld\build\mozilla\build\cl.py cl 14.00.50727.762 -TC -nologo -W3 -Gy -Fdgenerated.pdb -DNDEBUG -DTRIMMED -Zi -Zi -UDEBUG -DNDEBUG -O1 d;D:\mozilla-build\msys\mozilla-build\python25\python2.5.exe -O e;D:\mozilla-build\msys\builds\slave\rel-comm-rel-w32-bld\build\mozilla\build\cl.py cl 14.00.50727.762 -TP -nologo -Zc:wchar_t- -W3 -Gy -Fdgenerated.pdb -wd4800 -DNDEBUG -DTRIMMED -Zi -Zi -UDEBUG -DNDEBUG -O1 Configure arguments --enable-application=suite --enable-update-channel=release --enable-update-packaging --enable-jemalloc --enable-tests --enable-application=suite --enable-update-channel=release --enable-update-packaging --enable-jemalloc --enable-tests --enable-application=../suite --disable-official-branding --with-branding=../suite/branding/nightly --cache-file=.././config.cache --srcdir=/e/builds/slave/rel-comm-rel-w32-bld/build/mozilla Mainboard : Intel D915GUX Chipset : Intel i915G Processor : Intel Pentium 4 660 @ 3600MHz Physical Memory : 2048MB (2 x 1024 DDR2-SDRAM ) Video Card : ATI Radeon X300/X550/X1050 Series Hard Disk : HDT722516DLA380 (165GB) Hard Disk : HDT722516DLA380 (165GB) Hard Disk : Maxtor OneTouch (750GB) DVD-Rom Drive : SONY DVD RW DW-Q30A CD-Rom Drive : Toshiba-Samsung CD-R/RW SH-R522C Monitor Type : MD1998LM - 18 inches Network Card : Marvell Semiconductor (Was: Galileo Technology Yukon 88E8050 PCIe ASF Gigabit Ethernet Controller Operating System : Microsoft Windows XP Professional 5.01.2600 Service Pack 3 (32-bit) DirectX : Version 9.0c (March 2009) _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
