382127 - When attempting to set the view preferences for new accounts Thunderbird varies in behavior from simply hanging to locking up the window manager.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Alex Brandt]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070406 Firefox/2.0.0.3
Build Identifier: Thunderbird version 2.0.0.0 (20070520)

I have recently added an RSS feed, and a secure IMAP account. I would like to change the sorting on these accounts, but when I traverse the views menu to the appropriate location Thunderbird freezes or just dies unexpectedly, and sometimes I am able to use the window manager to get to a console to kill Thunderbird. Other times, I have to switch to a virtual console, and kill Thunderbird from there.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click Inbox of new IMAP account.
2.Click views in the menu bar.
3.Sometimes, traverse to Sort by.
Actual Results:  
Thunderbird dies, or locks up with varying degrees of locking on the window manager as well.

Expected Results:  
Displayed the appropriate sorting sub menu.

Sometimes this happens simply from clicking the views menu, but other times I can traverse all the way to the Sort By sub menu.

The theme I am using is: Crossover X 2.3

This bug does not appear to happen with the default theme of Thunderbird.

->INVALID, sorry, 3rd party theme problems are not tracked in bugzilla but should be reported to their respective authors.
