Re: [Dorset] Thunderbird issue

2017-08-12 Thread Tim


Hi Ralph

Thanks for the reply, I tried in safe mode, no difference, I tried with
a new Profile (simply renamed my old one) no difference so it looks
like either an update to either the distro or Thunderbird has broken
something and as the OS is Sparky Linux (Debian Testing for the most
part) it is to be expected.

I have now given up with Thunderbird as it was beginning to
annoy me (before this issue) and I am learning the joys (and pain) of
Claw mail. I can import all my old email into claw so I have hours of
fun ahead. Have one account setup, two more to go.

regards

Tim

Hi Tim,

What's the OS?

> Any thoughts

Have you tried starting Thunderbird in "safe mode" so extensions are
disabled?  Google suggests holding down Shift whilst starting it does
this.  Or, use it as it stands and disable any Add Ons you've installed?
It could be something is snaffling the event that should trigger the
redraw.

Cheers, Ralph.
