- post #1193 (transaction only shows up after re-start of the client, otherwise showing "Synchronizing..." all the time after having done a transaction, but only if connected to a server in "full" mode), and in
Can you please check if there's any exception/error in the console when this happen? You need to run Electrum from terminal window to see it.
I had same issues (Electrum freezed in Synchronizing... and only restart helped) with older Electrum versions, however everything has been fixed for me in 1.5.x.
I just tried again as you suggested - still with 1.5.3.
I was always connected to "full" type of servers (electrum.no-ip.org and electrum.be).
I transferred 1e-8 BTC to one of my own addresses and 0.0001 btc fee.
Two times it worked well (with ...no-ip... server), then I changed to electrum.be, then problem again, little window "synchronizung..." would not disappear, even after closing electrum, the little window was still there, I had to close it manually. Then, even after re-start the transaction did not show up in the list, so it was apparently not carried out, i.e. this was different from the earlier times when the transaction did appear in the history list after restart.
Switching back to the "...no-ip.org"-server - next transaction: ok --> switching back to electrum.be server, next transaction was also ok this time but it took a little longer than with the no-ip server until Electrum GUI was in normal state again.
So it is not exactly reproducible, no 100% occurrence, just sporadically, these are the "nicest" problems of course that cannot be reproduced well. In the end it is somehow (also) a server related problem I guess... no particular errors observed in the console (except when I manually destroyed the window that would not close by itself).
