Bug 4068

Summary:	Claws Mail hangs when getting news from a certain feed
Product:	Claws Mail (GTK 2)	Reporter:	Denis <fnl>
Component:	Plugins/RSSyl	Assignee:	users
Status:	RESOLVED FIXED
Severity:	major
Priority:	P3
Version:	3.16.0
Hardware:	PC
OS:	Linux

Description Denis 2018-08-12 21:29:04 UTC

It started hanging when in "http://elementy.ru/rss/news" the article on this url: "http://elementy.ru/LHC/novosti_BAK#n433305" appeared.

Starting from then Claws Mail hangs every time it tries to refresh this feed. When it hangs it cannot be terminated, only killed.

I had to set "Refresh interval" to 0 to avoid autoupdating this feed. By the way, Claws Mail does not display the headline (Subject) of this news correctly. Bamboo Reader does not have difficulties with this news and displays its headline correctly.

This is actually a combination of two separate bugs, both of which I have just fixed. The feed now displays the titles of this feed correctly, too. Sorry about that.
