Public bug reported: I start my thunderbird and maximize the main window. Then I open "Account Settings". This shows the new settings window that is smaller than the main window (see screenshot "before.png"). This is fine just like that. But when I start moving the settings window around (by clicking the top window bar), the main window is being resized to a very small size, such that it is not visible behind the settings window. Moreover, it seems to move along with the settings window. When I close the settings, I can see the very small main window (see screenshot "after.png").
I actually don't think this is a thunderbird problem, it is probably something more general. I remember having a similar issue with the LibreOffice options in Ubuntu 18.04.
