Title:
upgrades cause chrome errors in running instances
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Binary package hint: thunderbird
If I upgrade my system using upgrade-manager and thunderbird is
amongst those packages upgraded, my running instance will occasionally
stop working (noticed this twice so far). I've seen similar things
happen to Firefox in Debian.
I suspect that the running instance is depending on (mozilla) chrome
stuff to be in particular places or to have particular properties
which have changed. The result is zero-width, zero-height blank prompt
windows popping up, search result windows turning up empty (implying
no matches to search) etc. until I realise what has happened and kill
thunderbird.
I think this needs to be handled more gracefully, perhaps a prompt
indicating that running instances have been detected and should be
restarted would be a first start (I've seen a debconf prompt for this
on libc upgrades for running daemons)
