Opening Edit/Account Settings removes title bars

[Christopher]

When I make changes in Edit/Account Settings and close the window, it removes title bars and controls from all windows. The main ones are still visible but do not function.

This affects all windows, not just Thunderbird, but is always caused by the same thing. It happens every time so it is repeatable.

The only 'fix' is logging out and in again or a reboot.

If titlebars are missing from all windows, then that is a window manager bug

[Christopher (soft-kristal)]

I want to emphasise that from my observations it only happens when I open Thunderbird/Edit/Account Settings, but it does affect all windows after that.

Hello Christopher,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with Thunderbird and edit/account settings dialog box.

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 1023080

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
