Bug Description

Binary package hint: thunderbird

Frankly, I am not sure this is Thunderbird, but I only see this on TB, so there. It might as well be cause by other packages in the stack, notably GTK/X.

When I hover on a TB folder with new unread email, a pop-up is shown (white on black) listing the "new" emails received. If -- while the pop-up is shown -- I jump to another workspace, this pop-up will now appear on *ALL* workspaces, on top. Once this happens the only way to take it out is to return to the TB workspace, and move the pointer somewhere else.

I do not know if this is specific to Unity or not.

Hello C de-Avillez,
(I think it has been you helping me this past few days on IRC. If so, thanks!)

Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with new emails pop-up in Thunderbird.

You made this bug report in 2011 and there have been several versions of Ubuntu and Thunderbird since then.

Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket?
Or, if it is still a problem, could you run the following (only once):
apport-collect 785778

and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and Thunderbird better.

Hi gf,

Yes, I am the one... I had already forgotten about this one (and there are probably many more in the limbo).

This one can be closed. I stopped using TB many years ago, and I am sure this has been dealt with already,

I will leave the closing of this bug to you, as a good exercise. Pleas do ping us at #ubuntu-bugs if you have any doubts (hint: close invalid, cannot reproduce).

Cheers,
