In Trisquel 7.0 (fresh install) Icedove frequently (several times in a span
of a few hours) hangs, by which I mean its window goes completely gray and
doesn't come back from that state. I have to kill it and run it again, till
the same thing happens maybe an hour later. Checking its process, I haven't
noticed any CPU spikes before or after this happens. My desktop environment
is LXDE. This happened on a fresh install, to which I had added Icedove, and
updating didn't solve the problem. I don't have this problem on another
machine which has Trisquel 6.0 and Thunderbird, which I installed, as far as
I remember, before the Mozilla rebranding issue and the decision to replace
Thunderbird with Icedove in Trisquel.
But I doubt this is an Icedove-specific problem, given that, as far as I
know, except for the rebranding and the add-ons repositories Icedove is the
same as Thunderbird.
I suspect this may be caused by the graphics card, but no other program
(including Abrowser) is showing these symptoms.
A similar problem happens when I use KeepassX's "Global Auto-Type Shortcut"
to enter my GPG pass phrase for Enigmail in the pinetry window: Icedove stops
responding; the pinentry window doesn't go gray, but if I try to move it, it
leaves a gray trace behind. This doesn't happen if I manually enter my pass
phrase (or copy past it) in the same pinentry window.
Does anyone have any suggestions where I should look to start finding the
culprit?
