Public bug reported: I suspect that the problem has to do with large numbers of downloads demanded by gmail accounts. I have two gmail accounts and one which uses gmail as the carrier. When large attachments are received, the entire Thunderbird window greys out for a number of seconde (dependin on the speed of the computer I am using. I have two desktops and one netbook running versions from 10.04 through 14.10 (Utopic). I have neen aware of the problem for some months now, but have not known how to report it. I still don't really know how to do so, but thought it was time anyway as some friends online are seeing similar problems.
