Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird
This bug seems to be very old, but somehow I didn't find it in Launchpad - forgive me if it's a dupe.
When composing a new mail, I start typing a few letters into the address bar of the Thunderbird composer windows, and TB tries to autocomplete it from the address book.
The drop-down menu appears, giving me the possibilities that start with the letters I typed, BUT - Thunderbird hangs (compiz darkens the window) for approx. 10 seconds - then it gets itself up again and processes complete normally, no errors, no wrong behaviour - and the address book searches are correct.
First I thought it was the prefs.js, see

Funny thing is, that I NEVER had used Thunderbird 1.5 before - but I had about 50 lines with that "nonascii" in it.
I deleted them, and gone was the problem, for a few days.
TB worked normally.
Then the problem reoccurred.
Now my prefs.js is clean, and it still has the problem.
It might have something to do with LDAP search as well - I first thought it has to do with that: I have a LDAP server on a openVPN network which is not always connected - and I thought the delay was a network timeout when TB searches for the LDAP and doesn't find it.
But I now disabled the LDAP address search in Thunderbird, and the problem remains.
