Mail and Address Book are blank sometimes

Post by Justinh »

Another new feature in the 2.53.x branch is that sometimes the Address Book and the mail dialog are empty (except for the chrome). I have to close the window and reopen; it usually takes 3 or 4 times before they are populated.

Moving to SeaMonkey support as no specific bug has yet been identified here.

What? A window with no content is most certainly a bug.

You overlooked the word “specific”. The Bugs forum is for discussion of bugs that have been identified and are noted already on Bugzilla. That’s not yet the case here.

Similar issue (2.53). Opening the Address Book (Ctrl 5) the first time after launching Seamonkey has a blank display on the right pane (the left pane shows properly).
Clicking different entries on the left pane does not help.
Adding a new entry does not restore the display (but the entry is added).
The info bar at the bottom shows the correct number of entries: Total contacts in Personal Book: xxxx
Exporting the address book (.csv) works properly.
Closing the address book and reopening it restores the normal expected display in the right pane.
