Created attachment 1441 [details] This is how 'broken' window looks like When starting claws-mail, it freezes on startup, displaying partially drawn window (broken, controls, or list of mail is not displaying). I then cannot close window normally, xkill leaves process in the background, and only killall helps. Problem is inconsistant, closing and starting program repeatedly fixes this and everything works fine, until next start. This seems random to me. Issue appeared somewhere about v3.10.0 I am running v3.11.0 on GNU Operating System (Archlinux distribution). -- ERROR OUTPUT START -- claws-mail: cairo-scaled-font.c:459: _cairo_scaled_glyph_page_destroy: Assertion `!scaled_font->cache_frozen' failed. claws.c:102:Starting Claws Mail version Claws Mail 3.11.0 utils.c:1924:using default rc_dir /home/muchweb/.claws-mail main.c:2174:Using control socket /tmp/claws-mail-1001/3382360de817c896880f2200f8944259 main.c:2269:another Claws Mail instance is already running. ** (process:2701): WARNING **: Socket IO timeout ** (process:2701): WARNING **: [11:13:27] Socket IO timeout.

Seems a problem of your distribution, not of Claws Mail: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=169075 Have you tried to use a different font ?

Well, to be fair, not a distribution problem, but a cairo problem, other distros have also same issue: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=109680 ;-)
Thank you. I have refreshed font size $ sudo fc-cache -f -v but this didn't help (still crashing). --- > Have you tried to use a different font ? This would mean changing font for all of my GTK programs, which not really a good solution for me. Also claws-main is only crashing in about 80% of times. No other program is crashing like this. --- I am running Cairo version 1.14.0-1

No other program is crashing like this. Actually it wouldn't mean that. It could mean just your GTK2 apps, or, more fine grained than that, just for Claws. You can just place a gtkrc-2.0 file in ~/.claws-mail/

I have changed GTK font in gtkrc-2.0 file from "Terminus 10" to "Monospace 10" (which defaults to Terminus anyway) and it works OK, still using then same font.
