Dragged english text from Libreoffice looks like chinese in Thunderbird

[Marius B. Kotsbak]

When selecting a text in Libreoffice and dragging it to a new e-mail in Thunderbird, it looks like chinese. When I copy and paste using the clipboard, it works correctly. Dragging text to the subject field gives no text.

Hello Marius,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with Thunderbird.

You made this bug report in 2012 and there have been several versions of Ubuntu and Thunderbird since then.

Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket?
Or, if it is still a problem, could you run the following (only once):
apport-collect BUGNUMBER

and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and Thunderbird better.

G
