Re: Problem getting folders to open and close

After Balsa has been running for a while, the little
triangles to the left of my mail folders no longer
work. In other words I can't open or close the folders.
If I restart balsa they work again, for a while.

I'm running balsa 2.4.7 on Fedora 14. I've actually
has this problem for quite a while, but I was hoping
the update to FC-14 might fix it (I was previously
using FC-11 !)

The only thing that I can think of that makes my
"situation" atypical is that I have about 15 years
worth of email in plain text folders that I access
with Balsa. So there are a lot of directories being
used as mail folders.

It's not a particularly serious issue, as I keep
the directories with folders I use on a daily
basis open. And I can always restart it if I need
to get into some other one. I don't really have the
knowledge or the time to build from source or do
any fancy debugging. But I'm just curious if this
is something that anyone else has ever seen.

2.4.7 isn't the latest, but it contains the fix that Pawel described in <URL:http://mail.gnome.org/archives/balsa-list/2010-January/msg00003.html>, so I'm not sure what's going on...

Balsa catches expand and collapse events, to detect when the current mailbox gets hidden or revealed.  Perhaps the signal handlers somehow accumulate deadwood, until the events are no longer handled.  Have you noticed whether CPU goes to 100%?

Best,

Peter
