Thunderbird 6.0 Release issues
Not so minor
- Thunderbird tags in a large folder like a bugmail folder sometimes get lost with Conversations add-on when archiving individual messages in a conversation, noticed in TB6 Beta 2 and 3, may have been around in TB5, may be CONDSTORE related since it happens with IMAP on mozilla.com i.e. Zimbra accounts - WORKAROUND Repair the folder, possible fix for people to try out who know how to backup their email i.e. who are beta software friendly, [bug 678148]. [fix has been coded but not landed in TB 7 or 8]
- Cannot print multiple mails anymore GS. WORKAROUNDS - Change mail.operate_on_msgs_in_collapsed_threads to false.
- WINDOWS ONLY - increased spacing of lines in folder and thread pane, filters, compose and address book at 125% DPI - [bug 671611]; [GS]; REGRESSION ; [Workaround: custom userChrome.css]
- Mac OS X Lion 10.7 Accessibility Issue Text to Speech not working (Regression: discovered in TB5) - [bug 674612], [GS]
- Mac OS X Lion 10.7 on TB 5: Various unsubstantiated issues that need someone e.g. a contributor to see if they are fixed in TB6, and QA and Triage if still present in TB6:
- [Lion Hangs]
- [Lion Crash]
- [Lion Scrolling]
- [Lion startup] (needs to be started twice and diagonal slash through icon)
- Lion compose problems - WORKAROUNDS - restart TB, move compose window
- [Lion is "slow"]
Minor issues or issue fixed in TB 7 or future release
See Thunderbird 7 User Changes Page
(not in order, numbered only for convenience; minor = no dataloss or non dataloss mac and linux problems since only 5% or less of TB users are mac or linux)
- Mac OS X Hardware acceleration seems to require discrete GPU on Macs with two GPUs which results in using more battery than the integrated non discrete GPU - apparently a bug since Firefox 4 and Thunderbird 5, will be fixed hopefully soon by the Gecko folks for us - bug 646043, [bug 668552]
- nntp related crash reported by Socorro in TB 5 - [bug 662228]
- Deleting an attachment on a GMAP IMAP mail results in 2 emails: original + email with attachment deleted; this appears to have been a problem starting in TB 3.1 - [bug 679619], [GS]
Touchpad/trackpoint scrolling does not work with some versions of Synaptics drivers in Thunderbird 5- fixed in TB7, 8 (as well as Firefox 7) - [bug 538189], REGRESSION
