thunderbird ui hopelessly corrupted (screenshot)

[Rachel Greenham]

With this version much of the thunderbird UI is unusable and corrupted, with massive redraw failures. This affects Xorg and Wayland sessions on nvidia, nouveau, intel and oss radeon. (When I finally reported it, it was on nvidia/xorg but wanted to stress it wasn't particular to that environment.)

Reverting to previous version 1:52.2, which happened to be in my cache, works fine.

I realise this is from artful-proposed/main and what am I doing there? The reason being, the version is artful/main is still on thunderbird 45. Until now the proposed builds have been fine.

Screenshot attached. Resize the window and the chaos is quite animated.
