Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

I switched from Icedove to Thunderbird. I use MATE with Orca screen reader and accessibility stack enabled.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

1. Open a folder with a lot of mails (here, Inbox in my libreoffice box, or in my linuxfromscratch box)
2. Go th the newest mail with End key
3. Remove quickly mails that you do not want to read. Use Del key and press it
quickly many times

   * What was the outcome of this action?

After some mails (here, I removed about 100 mails), Thunderbird crashes and open
the crash reporter.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Should not crash.

*** End of the template - remove these template lines ***

The log is attached with trace from debug symbols. If something is missing, tell
me what command use in Gdb or other -dbg to install.

Regards

Hello Stew,

Am 17.12.18 um 15:00 schrieb Debian Bug Tracking System:

could you please elaborate why you think this issue needs to have a
severity of serious? Also it would be better get in contact with the
package maintainer before doing such things.

The meanings of the severity are explained here:

https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#severities

I see absolutely no need to adjust the severity as no data loss is
given, no Debian policy is violated nor the is thunderbird doing any
damage on the installed system.

Yes, a crash isn't nice at all, but here on this bug report this isn't
not enough to increase the severity to anything RC.
