Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Martin Pecka]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; cs; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 1.5.0.9 (20061207)

My TB loads about 30 MB of memory after startup. When I display a message with a lot of large images (ie. 5 jpg files, each has 500kB), TB increases its memory load. It's normal. But when I delete attachments (Delete All in attachment menu), the images REMAIN IN MEMORY. I deleted attachments in about 10 mails with overall size about 50 MB and i got 1000 MB of full memory (no other app could do it). When I display a message with large attachments and then select a next one, the memory frees normally

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Load a message with some large images
2.Delete / Delete all in attachmetn menu
Actual Results:  
TB loads lots of memory

Expected Results:  
Free the images from RAM :)
