Description Daniel Secareanu 2005-10-05 08:01:55 UTC

Thunderbird doesn't exit nicely, asks for force quit, even though the time until
the window shows up is about 1-3 secs and even though after the force quit
window pops up, it exits in less than a second. Maybe the force quit should not
show up unless you click several times on the close button (like it was in
previous Gnome/SUSE versions) or when an application is caught not responding
(the delay should be around 5-10 secs though, I presume).

Do you mean the Gnome "force quit" popup? Or a native Thunderbird one (never
seen this)

Comment 2 Daniel Secareanu 2005-10-11 18:38:54 UTC

Yes, the Gnome force quit popup.

Comment 3 Wolfgang Rosenauer 2005-10-11 19:04:38 UTC

gnome-maintainers: what does trigger that popup? And can the application do
anything to avoid this?

Comment 4 JP Rosevear 2005-10-11 20:02:33 UTC

That will come if you close the window using the "delete" method ie the X window
decoration and the app doesn't initiate the quit.

Comment 5 Robert O'Callahan 2005-10-12 04:02:31 UTC

Is this really a Thunderbird bug?

Comment 6 Wolfgang Rosenauer 2005-10-12 04:35:08 UTC

hmm, I always close my Thunderbird with the X decoration and it always quits (at
least if there are no hanging imap connections or similar). I never got this
Gnome force thing yet.

Comment 7 Daniel Secareanu 2005-10-12 07:33:51 UTC

I have on average around 5 email accounts set up on Thunderbird, all of them
IMAP, some of them on the same server, but using different accounts/domain
names. More exactly:
imap_account1 - server1
imap_account2 - server2
imap_account3-5 - server3

Comment 8 Robert O'Callahan 2005-10-16 20:01:00 UTC

What should Thunderbird do to stop the "force quit" dialog from showing up? Is it simply a matter of running the event loop?

Comment 9 Wolfgang Rosenauer 2006-03-16 09:17:34 UTC

Could a gnome-maintainer please comment what would be needed to avoid firing the force quit thingy?

Comment 10 Matej Horvath 2007-02-16 14:11:49 UTC

No reaction on this bug for a long time. Closing as CANTFIX.
