Thunderbird 3.1 : Empty notifications?

Since upgrading to tb 3.1 I sometimes get empty notifications:
tNHJ4eg

The visible text is my terminal behind it because the notifications are slightly transparent. smile

Anyone any idea what's causing that and how to get rid of it?

I have no new mail when it occurs and there's nothing that needs attention...

Re: Thunderbird 3.1 : Empty notifications?

I'd say it's a new "feature", I guess it will probably be fixed soon by upstream. It's a bit annoying but doesn't seem to do any harm so no worries I guess.

Re: Thunderbird 3.1 : Empty notifications?

I am also getting them. just that my notifications aren't transparent.

There's this message in the console:
(thunderbird-bin:2526): libnotify-CRITICAL **: notify_notification_update: assertion `summary != NULL && *summary != '\0'' failed

I only found a mention in gentoo ml [1] (not even in their bugtracker) and an awesome bug triggered by it [2].
There's bug 574648 in mozilla [3] but it's strange that there isn't a bigger reaction to the empty notifications. Is it working for others?

This is fixed for next release:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=561427.
For the time being, the workaround is to remove libnotify.
Actually I removed it, reinstalled and haven't been able to reproduce the bug ever since (I did also uncheck new message notification, to no avail, and rechecked it -- probably unrelated).

Interesting. I have manually applied http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/comm-1.9 … 4f27904bd0 to /usr/lib/thunderbird-3.1/modules/activity/alertHook.js
