[sylpheed:31350] locked while automatically downloading new messages

[Ricardo Nabinger Sanchez]

Hello,

Just reporting a misbehavior:

A few moments ago I was composing a message, and browsing in the Attach file
dialog to (obviously) attach a file.  Sylpheed started downloading new
messages in background (I use its automatic fetch), but then I could not
attach the file (or any other), but could browse elsewhere.

Also, I couldn't stop the automatic fetch, because the dialog wouldn't let
me click the Stop button (I tried, but nothing happened).  Only after
Sylpheed finished downloading messages it responded again to my requests,
being completelly livelocked while downloading (ie, the UI was being refreshed
as usual, but I couldn't do anything useful).

Perhaps a good way to reproduce this is to mail yourself a message with a
big attachment (enough to use your bandwidth for a minute or so), set Sylpheed
to automatic download (without download window) to a short time and then
compose a new message. Leave the attach dialog open, and when Sylpheed starts
downloading, check if you're livelocked as I was.

Comments?

Regards.
