OK, based on a suggestion from hairy_palms on ubuntuforums, I switched from a pixmap GTK+ theme (Crux) back to the default Human theme. The problems described below go away, Thunderbird functions normally.
Here's a recap of the problems: 1. select a message, click Reply, thunderbird hangs 2. click the Write button, thunderbird hangs 3. double-click a message, click Reply, thunderbird crashes 4. open Preferences, thunderbird hangs 5. open an attachment, thunderbird crashes note: hang = frozen, partially updated windows crash = gone, disappears from desktop and taskbar again, pixmap themes seem to be the cause of the problem. thanks, john -- thunderbird-bin crashed with SIGSEGV in raise() when replying to an IMAP message https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/128288 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
