888050 - TB-freeze while copying/moving some mails in Offline-Mode with Master Password

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Ulf Zibis]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:22.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/22.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130618035212

Steps to reproduce:

Under Win7 restricted user account:
- configure Master Password
- set TB to Offline mode
- restart TB
- select POP Inbox
- mark some mails
- with mouse drag the mails
- wait until Master Password dialogue pops up
- drop the mails to another POP folder (maybe by holding Ctrl-Key)

Note: Maybe dependent on ThunderBrowse addon with some tabs opened.



Actual results:

FREEZE:
(a) drop does not succeed
(b) Master Password dialogue does not proceed
(c) Window close button does nothing ... had to kill TB via Taskmanager.




Expected results:

TB should stay responsive.

Open ThunderBrowse tabs seem to trigger network access, even in offline mode, and therefore the Master Password dialogue pops up very early after start.

Now I again could reproduce the bug after deactivating ThunderBrowse, but I had to wait 3 minutes to make the freeze happen.
3 min. is the time, I have set for my POP and IMAP accounts for automatic new mail check. So I think there is an underlying 2nd bug: Why does TB trigger network access if in Offline mode?

Ulf, Can you reproduce this with a current beta version?
