Description atlantis 2008-10-15 22:34:32 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 3.5.10)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

I start kontact. The windows starts up - and then kontatc hangs for 3-4 minutes on full cpu load. Output:

WeaverThreadLogger: thread (ID: 2) suspended.
WeaverThreadLogger: thread (ID: 3) suspended.
WeaverThreadLogger: thread (ID: 4) suspended.
WeaverThreadLogger: thread (ID: 1) suspended.

After this, kontact works fine for some time. However, change of entries in kaddressbook trigger the same behaviour. Makes the application unusable. kopete has the same behaviour: hangs 2-3 minutes on startup. Interestingly, when I close kontact, kopete hangs again for 2-3 minutes.

This behaviour is new since 2-3 weeks, it started suddenly after some kde update. I run kde 3.5.10 on openSuSE 11.0. I have:

Comment 1 Jamie C. 2008-12-26 15:10:22 UTC

I'm using I run kde 3.5.10 on openSuSE 10.3 (with no KDE4 installed) and have experienced very similar problems with kontact and kde - whenever I edit a contact in the address book they both hang for several minutes.

Comment 2 Denis Kurz 2016-09-24 19:29:29 UTC

This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kontact (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.

Comment 3 Denis Kurz 2017-01-07 22:49:45 UTC

Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
