450709 - Thunderbird sometimes screws up the whole system when I close windows and don't save

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Chris Pepper]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_4; en-us) AppleWebKit/525.18 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.1.2 Safari/525.20.1
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.16 (20080707)

Tonight, I edited a draft in a composition window, decided not to keep it, hit Command-W, and hit Space for Don't Save. Thunderbird displayed garbage in the window (not sure if this was before or after I hit Command-W). Afterwards, the Mac was very very slow and laggy -- 30sec+ to recognize Command-Tab on a 2GHz 2gb MBP, even after I killed thunderbird-bin.

I saw the exact same thing, with the same trigger, last night. After relaunch, I created a message, saved it, closed it, and declined to save, and it didn't trigger that time.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a draft.
2. Save it.
3. Edit it.
4. Close.
5. Do not Save.
Actual Results:  
Save/Don't Save/Cancel displays garbage.

Whole Mac becomes incredibly unresponsive.

Expected Results:  
Window should display properly.

Mac should not lag.

I'll attach a sample.

Note this was vanilla Thunderbird, not actually Penelope. Sorry it was misfiled.
