Comment 37 for bug 372103

Please, add the pointer check, for the sake of saving time to hundreds of people around there. I do not understand why this bug is not considered a top priority for the team. I have starting experiencing this but with Thunderbird 2, around six months ago. I was startled. The crashes happened on four different machines I owned, so it must be overly spread. I upgraded to Thunderbird 3 hoping the problem to be solved, but it was not (I use version 3.0~b4~hg20090908r3585+nobinonly-0ubuntu1~umd1~jaunty). I have lost a lot of time having to rewrite my emails because of these crashes and now I have developed the practice to first copy the whole text of the email to the clipboard before pasting anything into it. The crash happens both on 32 bits machines and 64 bits machines. Also, it happens with all the machines I have, running either Ubuntu Intrepid or Jaunty. I have been wondering how the developers cope with that. Maybe the fact that I use KDE has something to do with it? Please do not let this bug open.
