User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; pt-BR; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060921 Ubuntu/dapper-security Firefox/1.5.0.7 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; pt-BR; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060921 Ubuntu/dapper-security Firefox/1.5.0.7 I'm able to open and visualize a HTML email whose size is 1173 KBytes. The text is about 700 KBytes long. There are 5 attachments: two of them are .htm files, the other two are .txt files, and the last one is a .gz file. The attachments have the following sizes: the .txt files are 7 KBytes and 34 KBytes long, the .htm files are 268 KBytes and 4 KBytes long, and the .gz file is 155 KBytes long. When I select the option to "Edit Message as New", Thunderbird opens up a new blank window and hangs eating up 100% of the cpu. It is interesting to note that this problem did not exist in an older release of Thunderbid back in 2005. (I'm sorry, but I don't recall which release did not have such a problem.) BTW, the same problem happens when I attempt to forward the email. Your help is greatly appreaciated. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select the message. 2. Click on the right mouse button. 3. On the window that just opened up, select the option "Edit as new" (the text should be something like that ... I'm translating from portuguese.) Actual Results: A new blank window shows up. Thunderbird hangs indefinitely, using 100% of the CPU cycles. Expected Results: Allow me to edit the message.

does disabling the spell checker fix this? If so, this is a dup...
(In reply to comment #1) > does disabling the spell checker fix this? If so, this is a dup... > Yes! Indeed, disabling the spell checker does fix this. THANKS A LOT! I'm sorry for having submitted a duplicate bug report! I have searched the subject extensively though ...
