Bug ID: 357820 Summary: kmail pegs the cpu when started from Firefox Product: kmail2 Version: 5.1 Platform: Kubuntu Packages OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: kdepim-b...@kde.org Reporter: mgol...@mitchgolden.com As is the default in Kubuntu, I have kmail configured as the application for mailto links. When I click on such a link, it does open kmail, and kmail seems to function normally, but the CPU is pegged. When I do a ps, I can determine that the command line is /usr/bin/kmail -qwindowtitle mailto:the.pers...@emailaddress.com However if I type the same command line at the shell, it starts (sending a bunch of messages to the screen) and then behaves normally with no excessive CPU use. I should point out that I am running Kubuntu 15.10, and this is kmail2 version 5.0.2, which is not a choice in the dropdown above. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Firefox 2. Click a mailto link 3. Open a shell, type "top" Actual Results: 100% CPU use (on one core, presumably) Expected Results: Not a lot of CPU use. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
