e Text to Speech not working (Regression: discovered in TB5) - [bug 674612], [GS]

  1. 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:
    1. [Lion Hangs]
    2. [Lion Crash]
    3. [Lion Scrolling]
    4. [Lion startup] (needs to be started twice and diagonal slash through icon)
    5. Lion compose problems - WORKAROUNDS - restart TB, move compose window
    6. [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)

  1. 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]
  2. nntp related crash reported by Socorro in TB 5 - [bug 662228]
  3. 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]
  4. 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
