218234 - Build 1.4 stealing system resources

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 204374

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Peter F. Mather]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

I recently switched from ver 1.3 to ver 1.4.  Now when I leave my machine idle
for 20 minutes or more with ver1.4 and it mail client loaded but minimized I
find my available system resources gradually declining to about 6% left. At this
point I can't load or do much of anything.  If I close ver 1.4 and the mail
client my resources gradually return to about 65% Available. Then I have to
reload them to continue with what I wanted to do.  I did not have this problem
with ver 1.3.  Thanks for any help you can give me on this.
Pete

It's a leak in the GDI-resoruces. Switch to Mozilla 1.5b for a workaround. A
full fix will be done later.
