Can anyone with the special low resolution notebooks confirm if the
following fixes the issue?

1. extract the messenger.jar file of thunderbird applicaiton
unzip /usr/share/thunderbird/chrome/messenger.jar

2. add the following lines at the end of the file
./content/messenger/messenger.css

#abcardDialog { min-width: 650px; }
#abcardDialog > .dialog-content-box { overflow: auto; }

3. recreate the jar file:
zip -r messenger.jar content

4. copy back to original app location:

$ sudo cp messenger.jar /usr/share/thunderbird/chrome/messenger.jar

5. relaunch thunderbird. The dialog window for new/edit cards should fit
within the desktop screen and vertical scrollbar should appear to allow
editing of all data fields.
