Looks like adding attachment from compose window with Thunderbird 60.0 is broken when trying to browse around to add files. (Feels like thunderbird is not playing well with OSX 10.14 finder?)

To re-create problem: 1. Create new message. 2. Add an attachment. 3. Try navigate around looking for file to be added.

After step3 above some times it was frozen instantly, sometimes it took a few click moving around then entire thunderbird frozen. Have to click out of Thunderbird app then force quit thunderbird.

Somehow 60.2.1 update solved the issue. Although the release notes didn't mention anything about this issue, but it seems to be fixed.

My guess is the new OSX is not playing nice. It needs to be fiddled with to print to PDF, my guess is something similar for mail attachments.

But it might be this as well https://tidbits.com/2018/03/26/freezing-finder-dropbox-and-overstuffed-folders-may-be-the-culprit/

Thanks Matt.

Just to further clarify, this step was seem still within Thunderbird (I guess):

"3. Try navigate around looking for file to be added."

I am saying that because I saw the top menu still showing Thunderbird instead of Finder.

Finder didn't seem to be freezing since I could work around normally at actual Finder windows. Click focus back to Thunderbird yield nothing but frozen app.

And yeah, I would say something in new OSX messed it up.
