- Have a crash with Thunderbird (don't know how to force this intentionally).
- Fill the Thunderbird crash report with some info and select Restart.
- Klick starter symbol to "Penguin Solitaire" in Unity bar.

- Choose Close.
--> Thunderbird closes instead.

Please note, I was not able to choose "Unity" as affected project, because when I tried to select it, I always got "Too many matches. Please try to narrow your search." Is this a known bug?
I'm not sure to which project to file such a bug.

affects: software-center (Ubuntu) → unity (Ubuntu)

I don't know how to force a crash of Thunderbird with succeeding crash report intentionally, so I didn't manage to reproduce the problem so far.
Even if I would know how, I see some risk to damage my mail data.

I currently see this bug again on my machine.
Can you provide some tasks to do to find out the cause of the problem. I can try to hold the state of my machine for some days, using the standby state instead rebooting it between usage times.
