Bug: Change progress bar design and behavior to avoid constant CPU load
Status: RESOLVED
Priority: --
Resolution: DUPLICATE
Created: 2022-03-01 11:40:30+00:00
Resolved: 2024-09-23 03:52:48+00:00

Steps to reproduce:

Thunderbird should not impose CPU load when it is actually in idle state waiting for network response or for user input. Currently animated progress bar in the status bar may cause:
- CPU load high enough to make fan noise significantly louder,
- battery drain.

Infinitely oscillating gradient is not friendly to power-saving. Besides thunderbird enough web sites have the same problem due to their "loading" placeholders.

I am already tired with Bug #1753195 but even after it (I hope) will be completely fixed, there will be completely valid cases such as **waiting** for SMTP password prompt when progress bar is in **active** state. A user may be distracted by something more urgent making time interval with progress bar quite long.

There is no specific steps to reproduce, just regular activity or the bug mentioned above.


Actual results:

Progress bar appears in the status bar and becomes primary cause of CPU load. Thunderbird may doing nothing but waiting. At the same time e.g. CPU load due to an HTTP server sending a file at several Mb/sec is unnoticeable.

Some eye-candy UI elements are sometimes referred to as bells an whistles. After update from thunderbird-78 to thunderbird-91 I get the progress bar that is literary a whistle due to fan noise.


Expected results:

- Appearance of progress bar that does cause noticeable CPU load
- Limited count of animation iterations (it may be updated by progress report when thunderbird is really performing some lengthy task)
- When thunderbird waits for user input, CPU load should be zero, message in the status bar and static image of progress bar may help to make such state clear for users.
Bug: Thunderbird uses Firefox ESR user agent string when "privacy.resistFingerprinting" is enabled
Status: RESOLVED
Priority: --
Resolution: WONTFIX
Created: 2022-03-01 13:04:02+00:00
Resolved: 2022-03-10 20:34:32+00:00

Steps to reproduce:

I set "privacy.resistFingerprinting" preference to "true" in Thunderbird.


Actual results:

Thunderbird user agent string changed to the spoofed one for Firefox ESR on Windows. To check I used menu: Help > More Troubleshooting Information. 

Note this is in the original menu bar (use "Alt" key or context menu to enable it). I have the new hamburger icon menu hidden, so I don't know if it offers the relevant item too or not.


Expected results:

I am not sure if this is intended (i.e. so that Thunderbird blends into a bigger group of same user agent strings) or if it is just a bug that could be easilly resolved by replacing the "Firefox" substring by "Thunderbird" substring in the current spoofed user agent string.

Steps to reproduce:

Контакт внесен в адресную книгу и назван мной по моему усмотрению


Actual results:

Контакт в списке входящих писем отображается по разному: иногда как я его внес, а иногда ка он сам себя назвал


Expected results:

Все контакты должны отображаться с именем, которое я ему присвоил в адресной книге. (Хотелось бы, что бы так было) Это очень затрудняет поиск при помощи сортировки писем по адресату...
Когда-то так и работало, но однажды (после большого обновления) работать перестало. Одно врем помогало снять галочку и вернуть на место в пункте "Показывать только  имя людей, находящихся в моей адресной книге" в настройках. (Скриншот 1, 2, 3)
Я решил, что это обновление плохо стало. Удалил приложение и поставил новую версию с нуля. Даже папку с профилями удалил. В результате стало только хуже. Теперь и снятие/установка галочки уже не помогает. (Скриншот 4, 5)
Bug: [flatpak] selecting custom local folders shows wrong location in UI

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:97.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/97.0

Steps to reproduce:

On  Linux/Flatpak packaging of TB 91:

Account Settings -> Local Folders -> Local Directory -> Browse...

Choose a directory under my home directory.  


Actual results:

After selecting the directory, TB does appear to work as intended (i.e. storing local files in the selected location) but in the UI it shows I've chosen a directory under /run/flatpak/doc, which I find very confusing.


Expected results:

I guess this is debatable, but I think the UI should display the directory as I selected, i.e. /usr/home/paul/..., but I had opened a defect under the flatpak package where the developer disagreed with this idea and thought it it should actually show /run/flatpak/... in the UI.  I'm just trying here in the hopes that someone else agrees with me that the /usr/home/... directory really ought to be shown.

This happens with or without addons enabled.



Expected results:

That the cursor would move and be positioned where I'm writing and not fixed at the bottom.

Bug: If an Address Book card changes while being displayed or edited, the UI should update

Changes to contacts are reflected in the list of contacts, but not in the details section. This is especially noticeable for CardDAV address books where there's any amount of network lag. We should add another listener to the `addrbook-contact-updated` (and `addrbook-contact-deleted`) notification and respond appropriately. I think if we are editing a contact when it changes the best response would be to prompt the user then (if they agree) discard any changes and restart the edit.

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:97.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/97.0

Steps to reproduce:

Rapidly moved a series of messages to folders.  Then used undo (cmd-z on MacOS).
I typically do this with Nostalgy++, with a number of keystrokes configured to move messages to a dozen different folders.  This way I can rapidly triage my inbox, keeping things organized.  I want to do this quickly, so there are slipups that are usually easy to reverse with the message move undo stack.
Thunderbird 91.6.1, current release version for MacOS


Actual results:

Instead of returning the last message moved to the Inbox, it returned an earlier message to the Inbox.  It seems that it will keep returning that one message to the Inbox, even after further moves.


Expected results:

While moving messages to folders or even folders on another Imap account is async, undoing has always properly returned the proper message to the original folder.  Somehow, in the last couple weeks, this has become broken.
Bug: quick filter begins searching before I have fully typed the search term, which causes a performance problem.

Resolution: DUPLICATE

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:96.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/96.0

Steps to reproduce:

When I use the search bar, it begins searching when I type the first character,  before I have finished typing the search term. So I have typed an F and it's finding all the messages with an F in the body, when what I wanted was to find messages with a from: line that says "Frank"..

This causes a serious performance problem. The focus goes away and no more characters can be typed and clicking the Sender, recipients, subject or body has no effect. Focus has gone elsewhere. 




Actual results:

Thunderbird begins searching with a fragment of the search term. 


Expected results:

 It ought not begin until the complete search term is entered. And a search button is clicked. And there should be a way to stop searching since such searching takes so much from the system.  Maybe there should be a background index to improve performance?

The proposed fix for this is to start the search when a search button is pressed, after search terms and fields are selected. And maybe a button to stop search would be advisable.

Bug: Message filters have problems handling quotation marks that are part of display name, and adding escape characters causes all subsequent filters to be deleted
Status: RESOLVED
Priority: --
Resolution: INCOMPLETE
Created: 2022-03-04 18:36:33+00:00
Resolved: 2022-12-04 20:48:58+00:00

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:97.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/97.0

Steps to reproduce:

I created a message filter where one of the rules is that the From field contains a string that includes quotation marks (", because the display name of the email address contains quotation marks inside it).  The filter doesn't work.  I then check the message source and notice that the quotation marks are each preceded by the escape character \, so I put those \ characters in the filter.

To make this bug easy to reproduce, I've tried to create an email account whose display name I can put various types of quotation marks and other characters that Thunderbird might precede with escape characters.  The email providers that I've tried so far, Comcast and Yahoo, don't handle the double quotation mark character the same way as the sender of the emails that are causing the bug for me, which is Meetup.  The only way I know of so far to reproduce the bug is to join a Meetup group that has quotation marks around part of its name; the bug will happen when you receive an announcement of a new event, since the display name of the sender is the name of the group.  An example would be "Rapid" Transit in Boston <info@meetup.com>.  Perhaps this team can pay to start such a Meetup group, for test purposes.



Actual results:

The original filter without the '\' characters doesn't work.  When a message arrives matching the filter with the '\' characters, all subsequent filters are deleted.


Expected results:

When the original filter is created with quotation marks, either it should work or an error message should appear saying that quotation marks aren't allowed.  Similarly, if a filter is created with escape characters, either it should work without causing subsequent filters to be deleted, or an error message should appear saying that the '\' character isn't allowed.
Bug: Detaching a message tab should open the message in a new standalone Window rather than opening another 3 Pane tab with the message in another tab

Actual results:

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/99.0.4844.51 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Address book originally created in Google with additions in Thunderbird.
Thunderbird old address book displays an Organization field and it is used extensively to segment addresses based on Organization.
(Not directly related to the bug but an interesting side discovery: After I started using the Organization segmentation I discovered that Organization is not a Google field but a grouping facility. Note that Android "Contacts" app displays and allows modification of the Organization field. And the field is correctly replicated between Google contacts and Android contacts)
In the Thunderbird old address book, Organization is a field displayed in the Work tab.



Actual results:

When using the new address book, the Organization field is not displayed and hence not modifiable. However if I enter an Organization search string, all the addresses with that field value are displayed, but because the field is not displayed, new addresses cannot be added to an Organization.




Expected results:

Organization should be displayed under the Work segment.

I started update from the help menu and acknowledged a restart.
I had three compose windows open, they are closed now.

I don't remember their status and can't verify whether draft folder has the newest versions.

In any case, force closing without request feels like a bug, not a feature.

It might be important to note that TB (main window) can be closed without closing all other windows, so for the end user, it might not be clear what is about to happen.
