Bug Description

The program hangs very often (no crash, simply stops responding), including almost every time when sending email.

This problem appeared after the latest apt-get dist-upgrade. I am aware of multiple users affected by this since about two weeks ago but couldn't find an existing bug report, so here goes...

I confirm this on 32-bit version and Oneiric. To me the freeze does not seem to be related to sending mail. TB just stops responding.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric) reached end-of-life on May 9, 2013.

Does anyone still see a problem related to the one that was reported in a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do and in which version of Ubuntu otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
