[regression] hang reading e-mail
Last modified: 2012-10-29 13:05:13 UTC
I'm running the git/master in a gnome 3.5.4 environment. I started evolution and was reading e-mail. After the 2nd or 3rd message evo becomes unresponsive (the UI refreshes though). I attached gdb and get: (gdb) thread apply all bt full
+ Trace 230560
It "only" shows many pending requests for images. Otherwise looks fine. Dan?
I don't like all the e_flag_wait()s in the backtrace, though I can' imagine how they could cause a hang in the main thread... A few questions that might help to locate the issue - is this reliably reproducible randomly (e.g. hang after reading any 2-3 messages), or does it happen only with some specific messages (could you provide such messages)? Does it happen immediately after you open the message, or after a while? Does the message actually appear before the UI freezes? How long did you wait before obtaining the backtrace? The images should be loaded in a matter of seconds, so if you were waiting for a minute or so, something is broken down there.
Hi Dan, This happens several time per day, usually shortly after starting evo, reading/managing e-mails. On the other hand, I don't know what to do to trigger the hang. Normally, it happens when I click on some message. The message view tells me it's getting some message, and that's it. I waited a minute or so before getting the backtrace.
One more thing. It happens more often if I enable automatically download images from the internet. With that disabled it's less frequent.
Let's move this under yours bug #686810, which contains newer backtrace for it. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 686810 ***
