270430 - screen corruption after client left open for many days

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[David Moore]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: version 0.9 (20041103)

The image in the URL doesn't really show what it looks like b/c its hard to 
take a screenshot of video corruption.  Happens sometimes to firefox as well, 
but mainly thunderbird.  

If you leave the window open for several days, the window develops corruption.  
Closing and reopening the tool does not help.

The only thing that helps is rebooting.

This has happened about once/week for a month now.

I'm running dual-head on a p4 2.8, 1256 mb of ram using a jaton mx 4000 
twinview.  driver version 6.1.7.7

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. open thunderbird
2. leave it open for several days
3. try to start using the window

Actual Results:  
screen corruption

Expected Results:  
It needs to refresh itself and draw the full window

I wonder if your fonts are getting corrupted somehow...

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
