Comment 6 for bug 320057

Same issue with all ubuntu 9.04 machines I have tried in my office. Same office, winxp tbird does not have this delay, so it appears to be sth with the linux implementation.

On the machine I use most often, 64bit 9.04, 4G or ram. Tbird 2.0.0.23.

LDAP address book is coming from win2k domain controller that is local to this subnet.

This pause is more than 10 seconds in my experience, I see about 30 second delay before I get tbird back.

I have tried adjusting the number of results filter on the advanced tab of Directory Server Properties in TB with no effect.

I see this problem in 3 instances:

1) When I type in the To: field an address that is not present in the LDAP dir, at some point, it will stop accepting input and freeze.
2) When I type in teh To: fiald an address that gets say 4 hits based on the partial string, if I press Tab to go down the list to the 3rd, or use the mouse to select the third, it will freeze.
3) When I choose Compose, Contacts (and get a sidebar address book) and type in the Search For field. If I make a typo and try to backspace, it will freeze. If I do not press backspace and press the blue X to clear the field, no freeze. If I spell the partial name correctly, then I can double click a selection with no freeze.
