1323503 - notification popups appear blank for a second

Status: NEW

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Ray Satiro]

Attachment: blank notification.PNG

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/55.0.2883.87 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

I have notification popups enabled so that when there is new mail there is a popup with the subject.


Actual results:

Sometimes I hear the notification sound and there is a popup but it is blank for a few seconds before showing me the subject of the e-mails.


Expected results:

It should not make the sound or show the popup until the text is ready to be displayed. I'd guess this has something to do with my mail provider imap.mail.yahoo.com since their server sometimes lags.

Thanks, I've reviewed those but none of them are similar. After reading bug #1100973 it may be relevant that I have mailnews.customDBHeaders set to ' Received'. Also as I mentioned the notifications appear blank for just a second or two but eventually show up, it seems to be arbitrary. My guess would be something to do with yahoo's mail server, it's slow sometimes. Like today when I try to open a message it takes a few seconds.

I've seen this in a slow debug build. I don't think this is a big issue. Who says that computers always work without noticeable delay? ;-)

Are the messages involved being filtered to non-Inbox folders?

No

I've been seeing this fairly consistently - several seconds, not just one sec.

Ray, do you still see this issue?
I haven't noticed it lately

No I haven't noticed it but I haven't really been paying attention to it either it's possible I just got used to it. However for the last several days it hasn't happened.

It just happened again. 60.5.1 (32-bit). It's much more rare probably because yahoo's server response time has improved.
