From time to time especially when I make a break and the screensaver starts Thunderbird crashes. There is a split between the taskbar of Cinnamon and Thunderbird. The program doesn't react anymore. The only way to use it is to kill it and start it again. I really don't know why this happens. It is a new phenomenon. Here are my Systeminformation: [code] System:
