1963804 - High CPU load after compacting folders and Status bar enabled

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1971648

(MailNews Core :: Database, defect)

Description

[[e-mail]]

Attachment: Activity bar anumation.png

After Inbox/Sent folders are compactified, there is re-occurrence of high CPU load that was fixed in Bug 1362483.
In the error console, there are usual messages about gloda, however, these messages stops after compactifying is finished. However, cpu load remains at 80% level on my MacBookPro M4. Restarting Thunderbird fixes the problem.
Thunderbird version is 128.8.1esr, MacOS 15.1.4.
Activity bar animation at the bottom of the window remains on, i am attaching file to show what I mean. It seems that some processes did not exit properly after folder compactification. Activity bar never stops animations, during email check and other tasks, animation stays the same, as in attached file.

This is the progress bar, shown in the status bar.

Does the CPU go away if you turn off the status bar via View > Taskbars ?

The same message is also back, see bug 1963490

Yes, with Status bar disabled, CPU goes down to low value.

andriusr,

Can you test release version 141 or newer, to see if it helps when status bar is enabled? It has a fix for status bar.

GOing to consider this a duplicate of Bug 1971648 - Add contain: strict to pane elements to reduce layout complexity, and avoid performance impact from animation in status bar - with status bar enabled this should be fixed in 141.0, and to be fixed in esr 140.3.1.

If none of those versions resolves the issue please let us know

I have tested with 140.2.0esr and confirm that status bar is off after campactification, CPU load drops to nearly zero. Bug is fixed on my system.

Well, it seems problem reappeared in 140.4.0esr on MacOS.
Did compactification, suggested by TB itself (my previous tests were done with myself initiating compactification), and status bar remained active as in picture above.
So, it is NOT FIXED, or at least fixed only partially.
