MailMate beachballing while drafting
Reported by Ashley Harvey | May 29th, 2020 @ 04:00 AM
Note: I have gpg signing enabled, perhaps it's related.
I have 4x IMAP accounts, one offline (just an archive), with close
to 200,000 emails.
I have noticed this issue more recently - probably in the last
6-12 months or so.
While I'm drafting an email, occasionally everything hangs and I
get a beachball for a few seconds. Attempting to make any changes
while this goes on often leads to typos or what I'm typing ending
up in the draft in the wrong order, so then I have to correct again
- and often only to seemingly cause another beachball.
I had enough, so I ran fs_usage while this
happened. Lo-and-behold, I see roughly 2,500 fcntl
calls all at the same time.
I will attach the fs_usage log.

I just realized that it seems to get better if I disable the HTML preview pane. Composing in plain text without the preview pane may mitigate or just improve things.

Yesterday this was really bad, so I ran fs_usage on it again. This time I noticed that the pauses seemed related with
gpg.
gpg --versionshowsgpg (GnuPG) 2.2.20 libgcrypt 1.8.5 (etc) -

Sorry about the late response.
When this happens, does it make a difference if you temporarily disable
gpg?Could you write me via “Help > Send Feedback”? I'd like you to try a test release of MailMate with a different message view.

- State changed from “new” to “fixcommitted”
I'll mark this as fixcommitted since it works better in the most recent test releases. Ideally, any work related to
gpgwould happen on a separate thread, but this is still only partly implemented.
