[Bug 376332] [NEW] Thunderbird unresponsive after a few minutes

[Kees]

Public bug reported:

Using Kubuntu Jaunty 64 bit on a AMD64 system with 2 Gb of memory.

~$ lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 9.04
Release:        9.04

~$ apt-cache policy thunderbird
thunderbird:
  Installed: 2.0.0.21+nobinonly-0ubuntu1.9.04.1
  Candidate: 2.0.0.21+nobinonly-0ubuntu1.9.04.1
  Version table:
 *** 2.0.0.21+nobinonly-0ubuntu1.9.04.1 0

When I leave Thunderbird running for more than about 5 minutes it becomes very unresponsive. It can take almost a minute before it responds to anything happens (after typing text or clicking a button). When I click the close window button in the top right corner (X) I will get a warning that thunderbird is no longer responding, when clicking 'Keep running' it will eventually close down. The fact thunderbird is slow does not affect other programs, they just keep responding as normal.
When I start thunderbird back up after closing it down it will respond normally again for a few minutes and then it starts over again.
