Description:
With systray-x-kde 0.9.6-1 I see Thunderbird eating 100% of a single core on every modification of folder content (new mail arrives, a message is moved/deleted etc.). This makes the UI laggy and barely usable, until the CPU usage goes back to normal after several seconds. Downgrading to 0.9.5-2 fixes the problem.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
systray-x-kde 0.9.6-1
thunderbird 115.4.1-1

Steps to reproduce:
1) move a message from a folder to another
2) see the CPU usage increase and the GUI become laggy
This task depends upon

Hi,

Thanks for the report, I confirm the issue. Same behavior on my side with systray-x-common (so it's not specific to the Arch kde variant, it's a bug with systray-x as a whole).

However, the update to 0.9.6 was a simple version bump: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/systray-x/-/commit/acbf73d4900540615d89f5f7be21c51c9e3103ea
So it looks like an upstream issue more than a packaging issue.

Have you reported that on upstream side yet? If not, it would be great if you could: https://github.com/Ximi1970/systray-x/issues :)
Don't hesitate to link the upstream report there so I can follow it and update/fix the package accordingly!

A new fixed version (v0.9.7) has been released by upstream. I pushed it to [extra] and it works as intended on my side (without the laggy UI issue).

I let you confirm before closing this ticket :)
