Since last Ubuntu Linux update: Have repeatedly restart TB, in not used after (approx) 60 minutes, to read emails

Ever since the last TB update through Ubuntu Linux, I have to restart if I haven't checked downloaded messages, this only occurs after about 60 minutes of not checking/reading emails.

I have TB open all day, with it checking for new messages on a preset time cycle, been using it this way since around '99/'00 (I think) when I first started using it. My health is poor so, I only check to see what's new every couple of hours or so.

When I start to read new emails, I double click on 1st unread to open in its own window, most emails are then deleted, and this is where I have trouble, the next email shows as a blank window, with TB showing the Loading bar in the LR corner. At this point, closing the email's window & reopening on it, makes no difference, TB just hangs on "opening email".

The only way to fix this is by restarting TB, and even then, it may require 2-3 more restarts to be able to read the rest of the downloaded messages. Then, if I don't try to read any emails within the (approx) 60 minute time frame, the issue reoccurs.
