Public bug reported: When I double click on an email in Thunderbird, Thunderbird (correctly) puts a copy of that email in a new tab.
But when I delete the new tab, Thunderbird greys; it makes extensive use of the hard disk, causing a large whirling sound, for two or three minutes, before Thunderbird returns to normal (not greyed out). As a result, my Thunderbird is very difficult to use, and is putting far too much demand on the computer. In fact, just single clicking on an email (to read it) often causes Thunderbird to grey, and to whirl the hard disk, for a minute. Something must be wrong with my Thunderbird. I've tried; sudo apt-get install --reinstall Thunderbird -- this did not help. Help much appreciated. -- Saul The Ubuntu/Thunderbird problem described above is caused by a bug in Ubuntu Glib. -- Saul ** Affects: thunderbird (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1082728 Title: The Glib library has bugs that affect Thunderbird To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1082728/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
